That is not accurate because it states about asking records pertaining to myself and providing identification.
To quote the response:
" Because you have asked for copies of records about yourself, we must verify your identity to ensure that your personal information is not released to anyone other than you. The DHS regulations, 6 CFR Part 5 §5.21(d), require verification of your identity"
That would definitely not be a response to the general public.

Hello,
I would like to appeal this FOIA request as a member of the general public and the final response has wording pertaining to authentication of the identity of the FEMA SID holder when no identification information is required to make a FOIA request as they are request from the general public. If anything, just send a "cannot confirm nor deny" letter and be done with it.
