Good morning
Mr. Johnston,
Please pardon the delay in responding to your request for an estimated completion date. Many of our offices are adjusting to working under different conditions and in different environments during this pandemic. We continue to process your request. It is our policy that each request receives prompt attention, and every effort is made to treat all requesters equally. As previously noted, and unfortunately, our backlog of open requests at the time your request was received was over 3,153. Once I receive a response, all releasable records, if any, cannot be provided to you until all processing is completed. As soon as that occurs, I will send you a formal response letter to your request. Please note all documents are reviewed before we respond. Further note the unusual circumstances concerning your cases 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. These 3 factors do have an impact on the processing of your case.
I have reached out to the component office currently conducting a search for records responsive to your FOIA request 20-F-0512. I have asked that they provide me an update on the status of your request and an estimated completion date (ECD). As soon as I have heard back from them I will contact you via email and provide you with the ECD. I appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter.
Thank You.

Mr. Johnson--This is to acknowledge the receipt of your request and to let
you know that I am the analyst assigned for processing. Please be advised
that due to the current situation with COVID-19, our office is still on
mandatory telework until further notice, and this is causing some major
delays. Please be assured that each of us in the FOIA office, are doing our
best during this challenging time and are working diligently to complete all
of our requests. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me
via email.
Please also be aware that, whenever a FOIA requester has not received a
determination within 20 working days from the date a request is perfected,
they are entitled to challenge the delay. For those who have an account in
FOIAonline, it can be done within the system by logging in, retrieving the
original request, clicking on the "Create New" tab in the left-hand column
and the selecting "Appeal". The basic information from the request is
duplicated automatically so all a requester has to do in type in the reason
for the appeal. For those without FOIAonline accounts or who just prefer to
use regular mail, appeals may be submitted by writing to the Judge Advocate
General (Code 14), 1322 Patterson Avenue SE, Suite 3000, Washington Navy
