Good morning,
Your FOIA request has been received in the office for processing and assigned case number 2014-TSFO-00244. Our office has received a high volume of requests which has resulted in a backlog. It is TSA’s practice to assign requests into one of two tracks based on the complexity of the request and to process cases within the two tracks on a first-in, first-out basis. Your request has been assigned to the simple track. At this time we anticipate an additional six months if simple track to complete the processing of your request. If you are interested in narrowing the scope of your request to reduce the processing time, we are available to discuss this with you, either by email to this address or by telephone at 1-866-364-2872. Thank you for your patience in this matter.

Good Morning,
This FOIA request was administratively closed on 7/31/14 due to no response to correspondence sent on 3/24/14. The FOIA office indicated that the initial request was too broad. I have included another copy of that letter here.
In addition, I would like to note that the case number you have provided is not correct. The only request from MuckRock we have tagged to that number is 2014-TSPA-00244 _not_ TSFO.
Thank you,
FOIA
