To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

A copy of the FBI's files on Carlos Marcello, described by the New York Times as a "Reputed Crime Boss In New Orleans Area"

His death was widely reported, and an obituary is attached.

I request media status, as I am a journalist who writes extensively about FBI files - https://www.muckrock.com/project/subjects-matter-fbi-files-10/, which have received national and international attention - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3219376/Undercover-FBI-agents-spy-annual-Burning-Man-festival-light-ongoing-war-terrorism-use-test-new-intelligence-collection-technology.html

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

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,

JPat Brown

Good morning Mr. Brown,

We're contacting you in reference to the FOIPA request number included in the subject line of this email.  The FBI located approximately 57, 361 pages and 50 minutes of audio media potentially responsive to your request.  For clarification audio media releases are made in 30-minute increments per CD (1 release), and video media releases are made in 15-minute increments per CD (1 release).

Requests are processed in the order in which they are received through our multi-track processing system:
Small track requests (no media releases/only 0-50 pages) current average time is approximately 4 months to complete;
Medium track requests (up to 2 releases/media) current average time is approximately 41 months to complete;
Large track requests (3-16 releases/media) current average time is approximately 67 months to complete; and
Extra-large track requests (17+ releases/media) current average time is approximately 79 months to complete.

The current average time to complete your extra-large track request is at least 79 months. Reducing the scope of your request may accelerate the processing, allow for a timelier receipt of the information you seek, and reduce the duplication costs, if applicable. Would you be willing to consider reducing the scope of your request to place it in a smaller, potentially faster processing track?

Please let us know if this is something you would be interested in further discussing. If you chose to narrow the scope of your request, you will be able to request remaining material via a new FOIPA request submission at the completion of this request, subject to applicable fees.

Negotiation Team,
Thank you for reaching out about the status of my request. I would be willing to narrow my request to just the potentially responsive audio at this time. As I understand it, that would put this request on the medium track, correct?
Thank you,
JPat Brown

From: Federal Bureau of Investigation

Good morning Mr. brown,

Thank you for your email response. We will continue on with your request to only process the audio media, thus placing your request in the medium track.
