From: Josh Israel
To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
All reports produced by the company Grant Thornton Llp related to DOI's contract with the company (Award ID 140D0418F0384; Parent Award ID: GS00F143CA; DUNS: 128159105)
https://www.usaspending.gov/#/award/68226135
I would like to receive the information in the following format: electronic.
As a representative of the news media I am only required to pay for the direct cost of duplication after the first 100 pages. Through this request, I am gathering information on public transparency and media access in the new administration. This information is being sought on behalf of ThinkProgress.org (an online news service) for dissemination to the general public.
Please provide expedited processing of this request which concerns a matter of urgency. As a journalist, I am primarily engaged in disseminating information. The public has an urgent need for information because it could provide the public with important insight into how the department is utilizing taxpayer money.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
I request a fee waiver, as this information is for news-gathering purposes related to questionable government spending, a topic that has been very much in the national news in light of the OIG report. Release of the information is in the public interest because the public needs to be able to evaluate how public funds are being spent and whether it is in accordance with federal law. In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request.
For speed, if you have any questions about this FOIA, please contact me by phone or email. I would prefer the request be filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Danielle McLean

Dear Ms. Lipton, Ms. Feinberg, Mr. Sewell, Mr. Kaplan, Ms. Best, Mr. Amarel, Ms. Grubb, Mr. Spies, Mr. Sherwood, Ms. McLean, Mr. Hoppock, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Scott,
Last year, the Department of the Interior transitioned to FOIAonline, a secure web-based tracking and case-management system. As part of the transition, new tracking numbers were generated for many open FOIA requests. As you have five or more open FOIA requests, please find attached a chart with your requests pending in the Office of the Secretary’s FOIA Unit, including each request’s original and corresponding FOIAonline request numbers. We hope you find this helpful in any future correspondence with the Office of the Secretary’s FOIA Unit.
If, upon review, you are no longer interested in any of these requests, we would be happy to assist you in closing them in FOIAonline or you can withdraw them directly in FOIAonline. Please note that unless and until you contact the Office of the Secretary’s FOIA Unit and ask for a particular request or requests to be withdrawn, we will continue processing all of these requests.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Thank you,
Leah Fairman
