Good afternoon,
I have received the responsive records for your FOIA request, however, some of the records originated in other Agencies, therefore I must consult with those Agencies to complete the process. As soon as their review is completed, I will be able to provide a final response to your FOIA request.

Your request had records that had other agency equities, therefore, I had to reach out to the other equities for review. Once those equities have provided their perspective of the responsive records, I will be able to finalize your request.

Good morning,
As you may be aware, the Federal Government was partially closed. The Forest Service was closed during this shutdown.
However, your FOIA request was sent for final signature in December 2018 just before the shutdown. I expect that it will take a while for offices to get back on track but I will send an email message to find out when to expect a final signature.
Thank you for your patience,
