To Whom It May Concern:

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

All responsive documents from CBP2012FOIA16372.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this
request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made
available to the general public free of charge as part of the public
information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the
news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for
commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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

Hello,

A copy of the below appeal for constructive denial has been sent to the indicated address. The CBP FOIA staff has repeatedly failed to acknowledge faxed requests. Please be advised that I will continue to appeal requests where CBP fails to provide acknowledgement or a tracking number, per its obligations under FOIA.

Respectfully,

To Whom It May Concern:

This is an appeal of constructive denial for the request below.

This request has not been acknowledged since it was submitted on Jan. 10, 2014. Diagnostic records show that it was sent to the correct fax number and arrived there, as did followups sent on February 10 and March 13.

CBP has failed repeatedly to honor its obligations under FOIA to respond to or even acknowledged requests I have submitted by fax. I request that CBP process this request without delay.

Thank you,

Shawn Musgrave

Hello,

The attached letter dated December 3, 2014 indicates that the present FOIA request CBP-2014-030726 is inadequately descriptive. Respectfully, this is a baffling determination, in that the present request is simply for responsive documents sent for a previous FOIA request, CBP2012FOIA16372. I have submitted dozens of requests for responsive documents for previous FOIA requests to other federal agencies without any similar issue or the considerable delay CBP FOIA staff have caused in this case.

Please advise whether I will need to open yet another appeal for the present FOIA request, or if CBP FOIA staff will conduct a good faith search for responsive documents as required under the federal FOIA statute.

Respectfully,
Shawn Musgrave

Ms. Suzuki -

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I see from my notes that I included the incorrect FOIA tracking number in my request, a simple administrative error I could easily have fixed had CBP FOIA staff gotten in contact in a timely manner.

Please process this request with regard to responsive documents provided for FOIA 2012F30132.

Thank you, and please let me know if I can provide any further details.

Respectfully,
Shawn Musgrave

Ms. Suzuki -
