Subject: Freedom of Information Request: Bureau of Land Management Website Management Records

To Whom It May Concern:

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

Any and all Bureau of Land Management records related to agency protocols for updating, changing, and maintaining the content of public-facing agency websites, including, but not limited to changes to text and other web content (images, links, etc.), additions and removals of webpages and databases/datasets - especially where these protocols lay out the specific procedures that your agency follows to comply with the Federal Records Act and other federal records laws and regulations, or processes, procedures, or methods that are unique or different from, or provide greater detail to, general requirements under the Federal Records Act or other federal records laws and regulations. This includes manuals, guides, and all other communications (including emails) describing these procedures and processes.

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,

Sarah Lamdan

Hello MuckRock.com,

Our FOIA office received your FOIA request, dated March 30, 2017. We have
assigned it control number 2017-00468. Please cite this number in any
future communications with our office regarding your request.

In your FOIA, you requested the following:

"Any and all Bureau of Land Management records related to agency protocols
for updating, changing, and maintaining the content of public-facing agency
websites, including, but not limited to changes to text and other web
content (images, links, etc.)"

We have classified you as an “other-use” requester. As such, we may charge
you for some of our search and duplication costs, but we will not charge
you for our review costs; you are also entitled to up to 2 hours of search
time and 100 pages of photocopies (or an equivalent volume) for free. See
43 C.F.R. § 2.39. If, after taking into consideration your fee category
entitlements, our processing costs are less than $50.00, we will not bill
you because the cost of collection would be greater than the fee collected.
See 43 C.F.R. § 2.49(a)(1).

We use Multitrack Processing to process FOIA requests. The Simple track is
for requests that can be processed in one to five workdays. The
Normal track is for requests that can be processed in six to twenty
workdays. The Complex track is for requests that can be processed in
twenty-one to sixty workdays. The Exceptional/Voluminous track is for
requests requiring more than sixty workdays for processing. The
Expedited track is for requests that have been granted expedited
processing. Within each track, requests are usually processed on a
first-in, first-out basis.

This request falls into the Complex track.

If you have any questions, please contact us at BLM_WO_FOIA@blm.gov or
202-912-7650. Thank you for your interest in public lands and in programs
and activities of the BLM.

Thank you,

Michelle Reid
