After careful review of your FOIA request, we determined that your request is too broad in scope or did not specifically identify the records which you are seeking. Records must be described in reasonably sufficient detail to enable government employees who are familiar with the subject area to locate records without placing an unreasonable burden upon the agency. For this reason, 6 C.F.R. Part 5 §5.3(b) of the DHS FOIA regulations require that you describe the records you are seeking with as much information as possible to ensure that our search can locate them with a reasonable amount of effort. Please be advised, we are unable to perform a search for emails without the subject matter of the emails.
In order to conduct a search for emails maintained by CBP we need:
* Name(s) and or e-mail address(es) of individual(s) receiving or sending the e-mail;
* The time frame in which the search should be conducted; and,
* The subject matter of emails.
If we do not hear from you within 30 days from the date of this letter, we will assume you are no longer interested in this FOIA request as it pertains to this office, and this case will be administratively closed. Please be advised that this action is not a denial of your request and will not preclude you from filing other requests in the future.
You may contact a FOIA Public Liaison by sending an email via your FOIAonline account, or call 202-325-0150. Please notate file number CBP-2018-003725 on any future correspondence to CBP related to this request.
