From: Todd Feathers
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
1) Documentation of all secondments that have been approved by the SEC since Jan. 1, 2015. Secondments are agreements that allow an employee of an outside business, organization, or government agency to work with/for the SEC, or vice versa.
2) All agency policies regarding secondments.
I ask that all fees be waived as I am a journalist and intend to use the requested records to publish articles in the public interest about the workings of government. In the event you choose to impose fees, I request a detailed breakdown of the fees, including the hourly wage of each employ involved and an explanation justifying the employee hours required to fulfill the request.
Should you choose to reject this request or redact portions of it, I ask that you provide a detailed breakdown of the statutory exemptions and associated case law underlying your decision to withhold each/any portions from public review.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Todd Feathers

Mr. Feathers,
You submitted the attached FOIA request to the SEC FOIA Office on July 16, 2021. Please be advised that we are consulting with other SEC staff regarding the accessibility of any records that may be responsive to your request. As soon as we complete our consultation with the staff and our review of any potentially responsive records, you will be notified of our findings.
However, due to the passage of time, we are writing to see if you are still interested in having your request processed. If you are still interested in pursuing this request, please respond to me as soon as possible, but, by no later than close of business on September 14, 2022.
If no response is received by this date, we will assume that you are no longer interested in having your request processed. We will therefore remove your request from our pending caseload without any further communication from this office.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Thank you,

Hello,
Yes I am still interested in having my request processed.
Additionally, could you please provide me with a citation for the statute, regulation, or agency policy that allows the office to unilaterally deny a request if the requestor doesn't respond within a certain number of days?
Thank you,
Todd Feathers
