FOIA Appeal
Dear FOIA Appeals Officer:
This is an appeal under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. ยง 552 in reference to OS-2017-01281.
I very much appreciate the work of the Interior Department's FOIA officers, and want to thank you for
your time and your efforts on behalf of the public's right to know. I am writing today, however, because it
has been 128 days since my request was received by DOI. This period greatly exceeds the 20 days
provided by the statute, thus I deem my request denied at this time. This request was assigned tracking
number OS-2017-01281.
The information which I have requested is releasable under FOIA and, in my opinion, may not validly be
withheld under any of the Act's exemptions.
I trust that upon re-consideration, the Department of the Interior will reverse the decision denying me
access to this material and grant my original request within twenty days of receipt of this letter. However,
if within twenty days I have not received a full response to my request (not merely an acknowledgement),
I will deem the appeal denied and explore initiating a lawsuit to compel disclosure on one or more of
these requests.
As I have made this request in the capacity of a journalist and this information is of timely value, I would
appreciate the Department of the Interior expediting the consideration of my appeal in every way
possible. In any case, I will expect to receive the department's decision within 20 business days, as
required by the statute.
Thank you again for your assistance and for the work that you do. I truly appreciate
it.
Sincerely,
Jimmy Tobias
