Dear Mr. Musgrave,
My name is Dana Whitman and I am the new FOIA specialist who has been assigned your cases 2014-001308 and 2015-000889. I want to first apologize for the extremely long delay in the FOIA offcice processing your request. There were a very large number of requests and also a turnover of employees working these backlog cases.
I have been going through both your cases and there is a discrepancy on our end that I would like to clear up. I see that two responsive letters and records have been drafted for FOIA 2014-001308, by two different individuals at different times. Unfortunately, I do not feel that I can use either because the requested time frames they mention in the response letters refer to November 1, 2012 thru June 19, 2014 and July 1, 2012 thru Oct 31, 2014. Neither of these correlate to you original request of "all active" COAs.
Since it has been such a long time since your request 2014-001308, I can provide a list of all Civil and Public COAs to date. I will provide a list of public COAs back to November 1, 2012 as they would have still been active at the time of your initial request and a list of Civil COAs back to 2015. The list for Public COAs would include the COA #, Sponsor, Sponsor city/state, Status, and date entered. The list for Civil COAs would include the COA #, Status, Phase, Date submitted, and Proponent. Neither of these lists capture the COA expiration dates. To include such information, each COA would need to be physically examined and the expiration date extracted and added to the list. This would be considered the creation of a record and the agency is not required by the Freedom of Information Act to create a record for the purposes of answering a FOIA request.
Since so much time has elapsed since your initial request, many of the originally "active" COAs have expired. Are you interested in the expired ones or just "active" public and civil COAs to date?
There will be some redactions since one of the public entities will not allow us to disclose their COA number, location, or submission date.
FOIA case 2015-00889 will have responsive records from June 1, 2014 to the present as per you request.
Both of these responsive records will be sent electronically as requested
