Dear Mr. Applebaum:

Thank you for submitting your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to
the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), via the
*FOIAOnline* website. We received your request on May 10, 2021. You are
requesting several FBI files concerning Gavin Hall Macfadyen.

Our office uses the *FOIAonline* portal for FOIA and Privacy Act requests
for the National Archives and Records Administration's *operational* records
(records created by this agency). Your *FOIAOnline *request is for records
that may be *archival* records (records created by or originated in a
different agency but that may have been transferred to the legal custody of
NARA), to which access is restricted. Therefore, we have forwarded it to
our *Office of Research Services, Special Access and FOIA* (RF) staff who
handle FOIA requests for such archival records.

Since *Research Services* does not process FOIA requests through
*FOIAOnline*, we removed your request from the *FOIAOnline* website. *Special
Access *staff will assign you a new tracking number, and respond directly
to you. In the future, if you need to follow up with that office directly,
please contact them at the address below, or electronically via email

Dear Jacob Appelbaum:

I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request
of May 11, 2021 for records in the custody of the National Archives and
Records Administration. Your request was received in this office on May 11,
2021 and assigned FOIA tracking number 65692, interim tracking number
RF-737.

You requested access to FBI file numbers 100-HQ-440363, 100-WF-41792,
100-HQ-344527, 62-HQ-107350, and/or 100-NY-164641 on Gavin Hall MacFayden.

-

Our initial assessment is that Gavin Hall MacFayden is the subject of
100-NY-164641, compiled as part of a domestic security
investigation, created
between November 1968 and March 1990, and consisting of an estimated 13
pages.

-

Our initial assessment is that the Socialist Youth League is the subject
of 100-HQ-344527, compiled as part of a domestic security
investigation, created
between March 1941 and September 1973, and consisting of an estimated 9,000
pages.

-

Our initial assessment is that Women Strike Force is the subject of
62-HQ-107350, compiled as part of an administrative inquiry
investigation, created between October 1961 and January 1978, and
consisting of an estimated 16,000 pages

These records require review for information protected from release under the
FOIA <https://www.archives.gov/foia/foia-guide#determine>:
https://www.archives.gov/foia/foia-guide#determine.

The estimated total page count for your request is 25,013 pages. Requests
that exceed 3,000 pages are assigned to our third-tier processing queue.
You will receive a response in partial fulfillment of your request after we
have completed the first increment. We will provide you with an update on
the status of your request and an estimated completion date at that time.
To give you an indication of our existing third-tier backlog, we are
currently processing requests received in August 2013.

Once we notify you that processing is complete, you may either visit our
College Park, MD facility to view the file at no cost, or order a
reproduction. Our current fee for reproductions is 80 cents per page, so we
estimate the total cost will be $20,010.40.

If you are willing to narrow your request for a potentially faster
processing time, please contact us to discuss narrowing options.

You requested access to FBI file numbers 100-WF-41792 and 100-HQ-440363 on
Gavin Hall MacFayden. Our initial assessment is that Gavin Hall MacFayden
is the subject of the records, compiled as part of a domestic security
investigation created between April 1963 and October 1970, and consisting
of an estimated 46 pages.

The records were previously requested and reviewed for another requester in
March 2017, and information was released to the greatest extent possible.

Dear Jacob,

We will narrow your request to a full copy of 100-NY-164641 (13 pages), and
then the first ten pages chronologically of files 100-HQ-344527 (10 pages)
and 62-HQ-107350 (10 pages).

At the moment, I can not attest to one queue being faster than the other.
We are diligently working through our current FOIA request from the public
like yourself.

You can request copies of 100-WF-41792 and 100-HQ-440363. The National
Archives and Records Administration is closed to researcher visits and has
suspended reproduction and digitization services until further notice due
to COVID-19. Once the research rooms have reopened, you or your designated
representative may view the redacted file at the National Archives in
College Park, Maryland. To monitor the status of the reopening of the
National Archives at College Park to the public and the resumption of copy
orders, visit https://www.archives.gov/coronavirus. If you cannot visit our
College Park facility, you may order a reproduction copy at the cost of 80
cents per page by contacting our office at specialaccess_foia@nara.gov or
301-837-3190 to place an order. A mailing/billing address is required to
generate a price quote, so please include that information with your
reproduction request. Please note that any orders placed will not be
serviced until such time that operations can resume safely. We apologize
for any inconvenience. Once operations resume, your reproduction request
will be serviced in the order it was received.

You asked for a waiver of the fees normally charged for providing
researchers with copies of archival records. The fee and fee waiver
provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), however, do not apply
to the archival records. The FOIA fee section states that “Nothing in this
subparagraph shall supersede fees chargeable under a statute specifically
providing for setting the level of fees for particular types of records” [5
USC 552 (a) (94 ) (vi)]. Accordingly, the NARA fee statute, 44 USC 2116
(c), and implementing regulations at 36 CFR Part 1258, apply exclusively to
your request, under which the National Archives does not waive reproduction
charges for individual requesters. Our inability to grant you the requested
fee waiver does not constitute a denial for the purpose of the FOIA.

We are legally bound to charge reproduction fees for our records (more
information can be found in our regulations: Title 36: Parks, Forests, and
Public Property, PART 1258—FEES
https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/retrieveECFR?gp=1&SID=ba12875cd02d4f84c4062c1ea87b9208&h=L&mc=true&r=PART&n=pt36.3.1258

Additionally, our fee schedule is based on the native format of the
records; as these records were originally paper, the reproduction fee is
$.80 per page.

Dear Jacob Appelbaum:

This email is in response to your request for a status update concerning
your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request under temporary tracking
number RF-737, which was received in this office on May 11, 2021. On
January 14, 2022, Archives Specialist Jermaine Scott provided you with your
permanent FOIA tracking number *RD 65692*. Please reference this FOIA
tracking number on all future correspondence concerning this request.

On February 9, 2022 you requested that we narrow your request to receiving
a full copy of FBI Files 100-NY-164641 (13 pages), the first 10 pages of
100-HQ-344527, and 62-HQ-107350 (10 pages). Combined the total page count
for your request comes to 33 pages. Your request does not exceed 700 pages,
so it is assigned to our first-tier processing queue. The estimated time of
completion for your request is 39 months from Mr. Scott's February 9, 2022
email to you.

To give you an indication of our existing backlog for cases in Tier 1,
there are approximately 992 cases ahead of yours. Unfortunately, the
COVID-19 pandemic has created many unprecedented challenges in our work.
The majority of the records that our customers request require our staff to
be on-site to search for and review microfilm, microfiche, or original
textual records. Staffing levels on-site have been severely limited with
long periods where our facility was closed. Even as we expand our
reopening, operations may be temporarily curtailed due to limited staffing
and/or deteriorating local health conditions.

Our small staff has and will continue to work diligently to process each
request as quickly as possible.

*Please note, we will not respond to status update requests more than once
every six months.*

To notify this office of a change in your contact information or to track
the status of your request, please telephone 301-837-3190 or e-mail
specialaccess_foia@nara.gov. If you have specific questions regarding the
subject of your request, please contact Jermaine Scott directly at

Requester Jacob Appelbaum:

I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request
of May 10, 2021 for records in the custody of the National Archives and
Records Administration. Your request was received in this office on May 11,
2021 and assigned FOIA interim number RD 65692. You requested access to FBI
file numbers 100-HQ-440363, 100-WF-41792, 100-HQ-344527, 62-HQ-107350, and
100-NY-164641 on Gavin Hall Macfadyen. In January 2022 you narrowed your
request to the first ten pages each of 100-HQ-344527 and 62-HQ-107350, and
the whole of 100-NY-164641.

We completed a line-by-line review of the records you requested. To
minimize reproduction costs to you and avoid reviewing only a partial
document, we processed whole serials from 100-HQ-344527 and 62-HQ-107350 up
to a sum of 10 pages; additional serials would take you over the ten-page
threshold in either instance. We have therefore reviewed serials 1, X1, and
X2 from 100-HQ-344527 for a total of 8 pages, and serials 1-2 from 62-HQ-107350
for a total of 9 pages. Please contact me directly if you require
additional pages from either case file.

We completed a line-by-line review of the records you requested. Please be
advised, we have considered the foreseeable harm standard when reviewing
records and applying FOIA exemptions for this request. Information was
released to the greatest extent possible. Below is a summary of our review:

You or your designated representative may view the file(s) at the National

Dr. Appelbaum--

To clarify, you would seek full versions of the following:

1. 100-HQ-344527 on the Socialist Youth League, consisting of an
estimated 9,000 pages, and
2. 62-HQ-107350 on the Women Strike Force, and consisting of an
estimated 16,000 pages

We conducted a search of all available indexes transferred to the National
Archives for Gavin MacFadyen and were unable to identify any serials
related to him in either of the above files. If you are indeed interested
in the above, we would open a new third-tier request on your behalf. To
give you an indication of our existing third-tier backlog, we are currently
processing requests received in August 2013.

To support the reproduction order, I will forward your request for
reproduction to specialaccess_foia@nara.gov within the next few minutes.

Hello Dr. Weimer,

If the files ( 100-HQ-344527 and 62-HQ-107350 ) do not contain records
directly related to Gavin MacFadyen by name, alias, and/or code name, I
would prefer to open a separate reproduction request for those files at
a later date.

Thank you for your time and assistance with RD 65692.

Kind regards,
Dr. Jacob Appelbaum
