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 NIST since Jan. 1, 2015. Secondments are agreements that allow an employee of an outside business, organization, or government agency to work with/for NIST, 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

Good Afternoon Mr. Feathers,
The initial volume of responsive documents we received from the office of record were pulled back for an addition to their submission and, on (9/27), they resubmitted their official response to our office. We are now in the process of reviewing their submission in the FOIA office and will be able to inform you officially as soon as we have reached the next stage of the process.

Good Morning Mr. Feathers,
At this time, we are in process of reviewing the documents responsive to your request as they were received by the office of record. Following our review, we will then be organizing them for their submission to our legal department for the final review.

Good Morning Mr. Feathers,
The status of this request is that we have the responsive documents received in our FOIA office and are processing them for review and release. An unforeseen circumstance arose during the course of our review process that the office of record informed and presented to us new information belonging to other entities that they had overlooked in their initial submission to our office. This offset our previous endeavors to ensuring accuracy and our requirement to oversight in protecting any associated parties. Having now incorporated this new information into our hold of responsive documents for this request, we are again proceeding with the review process and will continue to keep you updated with our progress towards fulfillment as soon as we are able.
Thank you, Respectfully

Good Afternoon Mr. Feathers,
I have been working diligently with 'many' offices for the responsive documents of your request. The status of this request is that we have received responsive documents in the FOIA office and those documents are currently with other entities for their outside review and determination. Documents will be released to you on a rolling basis as soon as they are made available for dissemination to you.
*(PLEASE NOTE): In the interim, please send all future communications for your FOIA request to our main FOIA inbox: FOIA@NIST.gov<mailto:FOIA@NIST.gov>. As of tomorrow morning, I will be out of the office and I am thereafter undertaking temporary assignment with another office in my agency. The FOIA Officer will be making reassignment of my casefile workload in the very near future and I wished to inform you of this to ensure that you have the best in customer service with regard to maintaining open communications with our office.
