Good Afternoon Ms. Crose,

Please clarify which FOIA case you are seeking a status of. Again FOIA request 20-F-1106 was submitted May 2020 and was closed September 30, 2022 because a Continued Interest letter was sent with an expiration date which passed and you did not respond. Please re-submit a new FOIA or if you’d like us to re-open your case, please let us know.
