Hello,

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regrets the delay in responding to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from May 22, 2018.

Unfortunately, OMB is experiencing a significant backlog of FOIA requests. Please know that OMB is very committed to providing responses to FOIA requests and remedying the FOIA backlog.

Given the passage of time, this communication is to confirm whether you are still interested in having your 2018 FOIA request processed (a copy of which is attached). Please confirm your continued interest by replying to this email within 30 working days from the date of this communication, and reference the FOIA number cited above.

If we do not receive a response from you within the specified time frame, we will consider the non-response as an indication that you are no longer interested, and will close your FOIA request.

If you are no longer interested, this will allow us to more quickly process the FOIA requests behind yours in our backlog queue.
Best regards,
OMB's FOIA Team
