To Whom It May Concern:

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

The most recent backup of the database containing the Animal Care Information System made before 11:00 a.m. EST on Feb. 3, 2017, and all associated assets — including, but not limited to, inspection reports, regulatory correspondence, enforcement records (including enforcement records that have not received final adjudication), research facility annual reports, lists of licensees and registrants under the Animal Welfare Act, and lists of designated qualified persons licensed by USDA-certified horse industry organizations.

In the event that the Animal Care Information System was not contained in a database, I request the raw HTML files, and all associated assets as described above. In the event that a backup made before 11:00 a.m. EST on Feb. 3, 2017, is not available, I request the current database as of the date your office processes this request. In the event that the database containing the Animal Care Information System and all associated assets is not segregable from a larger database, I request that larger database in its entirety.

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,

Ashley Williams

Good afternoon,

Unfortunately the program office is still searching for the information that is responsive to your request. To date, we (the FOIA Office) have not yet received any responsive records. I have sent a message requesting the status to the appropriate official in charge of searching for responsive records. As soon as I receive a response from them, I will provide you with an estimated by which I believe we can issue a response to your request.

As always, please contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.

LaRima

From: Coleman, LaRima - APHIS

Good Morning Ms. Williams,

I regret to inform you that the status of your request is the same. We are still waiting for the Program Office to provide any responsive records they locate. My apologies for the delay but once we receive the responsive records, we will continue to process you request.
Thanks,

From: Coleman, LaRima - APHIS

Ms. Williams,

Good morning. The program office that is likely to have any records that are responsive to your request is currently experiencing a backlog of FOIA requests, which has delayed the time it is able to search for and provide records to this office. Please know that as soon as I receive the records, I will continue the processing of your request. My apologies for not being able to provide you more information at this time… but as always, if you have any other questions or concerns, please contact me.

Thank you,

LaRima

From: Coleman, LaRima - APHIS

Good morning:

Your FOIA request is still pending at this time. I do not believe that any further clarification is needed, however, I will confirm that with the appropriate parties. Unfortunately, one of them is out of town this week so I will speak with her next week. I will contact you if further clarification is indeed needed. In the interim, please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Hello Ms. Williams, I am reaching out to the requesters that sought a backup copy of our animal welfare database in 2017, after the removal of our public search tool from the website. The public search tool was restored to our website later in 2017 and I wanted to make sure you were all aware of that. It is available at :

https://acis.aphis.edc.usda.gov/ords/f?p=118:1::::::

In terms of receiving a backup copy of the data in the database, we have learned from our Animal Care program that there are some problems with their search. Can you please give me a call at the number below to discuss? Or email a good time and number to call you? This is the only contact information we have for you. Thanks!
