To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
I am requesting all documents, emails, case files, case notes, evidence, interviews, correspondance, memorandums, filings, and indictments, that deal directly with or mention Duracap Labs, its owners or agents.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
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. As I am a professional member of the media, I am also requesting any fees be waived. I would prefer the request 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. However, I am additionally asking my request be expedited, as it deals with a contract manufacturer of dietary supplements, and the information gathered would reasonably be expected to be in the interest of public health.
Sincerely,
anthony roberts

Dear Mr. Roberts,
This is in response to your November 15, 2016 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) seeking copies of records related to:
* DURACAP LABS
Attached are documents responsive to your request. Your request is granted in part. After a thorough review of the responsive records, we have determined that portions of the documents are exempt from disclosure under FOIA exemption (b)(4) and (b)(7)(a) of the FOIA 5 U.S.C. § 552, as amended and delineated below:
> Exemption (b)(4) permits the withholding of "trade secrets" (TS) and "commercial confidential information" (CCI). Disclosure of this information would impair the government's ability to obtain necessary information in the future and cause substantial harm to the competitive position of the person from whom the information was obtained. Under the balancing test of this exemption, we are withholding all proprietary information identified as TS and CCI.
Ø Exemption (b)(7) protects from disclosure "records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes, but only to the extent that the production of such law enforcement records or information (A) could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.
Please be advised that your request may have been submitted to one or more component offices within FDA. These offices will reply to you directly. CFSAN considers your request closed.
If you have reason to believe that the information withheld should not be exempt from disclosure, you have the right to appeal this determination. By filing an appeal, you preserve your rights under FOIA and give the agency a chance to review and reconsider your request and the agency's decision.
Your appeal must be mailed within 90 days from the date of this response, to:
Ms. Catherine Teti
Deputy Agency Chief FOIA Officer
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Room 729H
200 Independence Avenue, S.W.
Washington, DC 20201
Please clearly mark both the envelope and your letter "Freedom of Information Act Appeal."
If you would like to discuss our response before filing an appeal to attempt to resolve your dispute without going through the appeals process, please contact samantha.wilde@fda.hhs.gov <mailto:samantha.wilde@fda.hhs.gov> or call 240-
402-0003. You may also contact the FDA FOIA Public Liaison for assistance at:
