Hello Stephanie,
Thank you for this interim response. If possible, could you tell me what unusual circumstances impact this request? I thought it was fairly narrowly written, requesting emails between a specific OSD office and a specific individual over a handful of months. An email database search by sender and recipient name should surface the relevant records.
If there is a way that I can further narrow the request in order to expedite processing time, please let me know.
Thank you,
Jay Cassano
From:
Mr. Cassano,
As stated in our interim response, the FOIA defines unusual circumstances as (a) the need to search for and collect records from a facility geographically separated from this office; (b) the potential volume of records responsive to your request; and (c) the need for consultation with one or more other agencies or DoD components having a substantial interest in either the determination or the subject matter of the records. At least one, if not more, of these scenarios applies or would likely apply to your request. While this office handles FOIA requests for the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Joint Staff (JS), and other component offices, we do not actually hold their records and our office is not geographically located with these organizations. As we do not hold the records, until the required records searches are complete, we are unable to estimate the potential volume of records or the number of consultations that will be required to make a release determination.
