Hello,

This request seeks data in CSV/Excel format, as I made clear in the body of the requests (including with asterisks). Please provide the data in its native format, as required by the FOIA and as the agency has indicated it can do via the Nov. 2014 memo attached to the responsive documents. I will appeal if the agency does not fulfill this request by the end of this week.

Respectfully,
Shawn

Hello,

Thank you for following up. The FDA's invoice does not appropriately enumerate what the charges are for — it only indicates that $61 are being charged for "Other." This is not a category recognized by the FOIA statute. Please advise what these charges are for so that I can determine whether to file an administrative appeal.

Best,
Shawn

From: Shawn Musgrave

Hello,

I received the attached invoice and the email notice below that it was overdue. However, as I wrote to the FOIA Officer, the invoice includes fees that are not allowed under FOIA and does not provide the required level of detail — it indicates that $61 are being charged for "Other" without indicating what "Other" means. Please advise or I will file an administrative appeal by the end of the week, as this is an adverse determination.

Respectfully,
Shawn
