Mr. Morisy,
This is an interim response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request which was received in this office on June 17, 2016. Your attached request has been assigned case number 16-F-1165 for tracking purposes, and we ask that you use that number when referring to your request.
We will be unable to respond to your request within the FOIA's 20 day statutory time period as there are unusual circumstances which impact on our ability to quickly process your request. These unusual circumstances are: (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. For these reasons, your request has been placed in our complex processing queue and will be worked in the order the request was received. Our current administrative workload is 1,761 open requests.
If you have any questions, please contact me, the Action Officer assigned your request, at megan.b.farrell2.civ@mail.mil or 571-372-0409.
