From: Federal Emergency Management Agency
Good Morning Mr. Neiss,
Thank you for reaching out to us. We appreciate your interest in these records, and understand that knowing when you might be able receive a response to your request is helpful.
FEMA has provided us with potentially responsive records and your request has been added to our processing queue. It is very difficult to provide an accurate estimated date of completion until our FOIA analyst reviews these records for responsiveness and we have a better sense of the number of pages and the sensitivity of the material. The Privacy Office is also coordinating the Department’s response to requests related to COVID-19; many of these requesters asked and qualified for expedited processing, meaning that they are required to be placed at the front of the queue. Again, our general expectation is that we will be able to send you a final response within three to four months. Please know that this estimate may change dramatically based on the volume of work associated with our expedited COVID-19 requests and on the types of records that FEMA has provided us for your request. Regardless of the specificity of your request, we cannot accurately estimate the amount of time it will take to process the record until we understand both the volume and sensitivity of the record.
We are making it a priority to post records related to COVID-19 that are released through FOIA on our website so that they are accessible to the general public. You may be able to find records of interest to you and/or be better able to target your request by browsing what we have already made available on this page: https://www.dhs.gov/publication/covid-19-outbreak-related-records (https://www.dhs.gov/publication/covid-19-outbreak-related-records)
While we are sure this is not the response you hoped for, we hope that this information is useful to you. Please let us know if you need any additional assistance.
