Kat,
The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) received your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request dated March 17, 2018 and assigned it tracking number FY18-109. Please cite this number in any future communications with our office regarding your request.
We are unable to begin processing your request at this time because we cannot determine precisely which records you are seeking. If you are still interested, we will need you to provide us with more specific information to describe the records sought so that they can be located with a reasonable amount of effort (15 CFR 2004.3(b)), e.g.,
1. which USTR officials were communicating with the individuals named in your request;
2. contact information (preferably email address) for the individuals named in your request;
3. specific trade topics; and
4. a timeframe.
Please note: this is not an exhaustive list. We cannot proceed further with your request until we receive additional written clarification from you.
If we do not hear from you within 30 calendar days from the date of this email, we will assume that you are no longer interested in pursuing your request, and we will close our files on the request.
If you have any questions or would like help refining your search, please contact me or my colleague Melissa Keppel at FOIA@ustr.eop.gov or 202-395-3419.
Thank you,

This email is the final response of the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) No. FY18-109 submitted on March 19, 2018 and perfected on March 27, 2018 requesting "any emails between the 13 named individuals and Robert Lighthizer from the time of his appointment on May 15, 2017 to the present day."
A search of Ambassador Lighthizer's emails utilizing eDiscovery software located no records responsive to your request.
This constitutes a complete response to your request. You may contact me or my colleague Melissa Keppel at FOIA@ustr.eop.gov or 202-395-3419 for further assistance and to discuss any aspect of your request. Additionally, you may contact the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) at the National Archives and Records Administration to inquire about the FOIA mediation services they offer. The contact information for OGIS is as follows: Office of Government Information Services, National Archives and Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road-OGIS, College Park, Maryland 20740-6001, e-mail at ogis@nara.gov; telephone at 202-741-5770; toll free at 1-877-684-6448; or facsimile at 202-741-5769.
If you are not satisfied with the response to this request, you may also administratively appeal by writing to: FOIA Office, ATTN: Janice Kaye, Office of the US Trade Representative, Anacostia Naval Annex, Bldg. 410/Door 123, 250 Murray Lane, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20509.
Your appeal must be postmarked or electronically transmitted within 90 days of the date of the response to your request. Both the letter and the envelope should be clearly marked: "Freedom of Information Act Appeal" and should include a reference to the FOIA Case File number listed above. Heightened security in force may delay mail delivery; therefore we suggest that you also email any such appeal to foia@ustr.eop.gov.
In the event you are dissatisfied with the results of any such appeal, judicial review will thereafter be available to you in the United States District Court for the judicial district in which you reside or have your principal place of business, or in the District of Columbia, where we searched for the records you requested.
Thank you,
