From: Jason Smathers

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

All records referencing the five oldest FOIA and Privacy Act requests which are still being processed that contain remarks, comments, notes, explanations, etc. made by your personnel or contractors about the processing of these requests (and appeals, if appropriate), the invocation of exemptions, or related matters. This is to include any analysts' notes made during the processing of the requests, any standard worksheets completed by the analysts, any justifications for exemption invocations or other supporting documentation provided to the Appeals Authority, and any correspondence referencing the requests, including tasking orders, emails, and coordination documentation. However, any records previously released to the original requesters in unredacted form may be excluded from this request. Additionally, please provide the initial request letters for the 5 oldest open FOIA/PA requests.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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,

Jason Smathers

Good morning Mr. Smathers, I am processing your request. I do need some further clarification. After reviewing your request, it is my understanding that you are not interested in the responsive documents, but the Admin processing. For example all Admin actions taken from the initial request until the documents are ready for release. This would include any analysts' notes made during the processing of the request, standard worksheets completed by the analyst, any justification for exemption invocation or other supporting documentation provided to the Appeals Authority , and any correspondence referencing the request, including tasking orders, e-mails, and coordination documentation. This request is for the five oldest request which are still being processed. Please confirm the scope of your request. Thank you for your patience. Should you have any questions or concerns, this office can be reached at (202) 212-5061 or electronically at Disclosure-Unit-TeamC@fema.dhs.gov.

From: Jason Smathers

Thank you for your email. You do correctly understand my request.

From: McCoy, David

Thank you. I will be able to give you a time frame of expected release by the end of the week.
