Dear MuckRock Requester;

This email responds to the automated status checks submitted for Cases 76984 and 76727. These cases are still in our initial processing queue. Once the search for documents is initiated and/or complete, the responsive material is compiled in our backlog for review. Please be advised that, since the records you request are related to Intellipedia, it is likely that we will have to consult with other Agencies prior to release which could cause additional delays. If documents are located for any of the referenced cases and they contain other Agency equities, it's possible the review could take at least a year.

We appreciate your patience thus far.

Dear Mr. Feathers,

This email responds to the automated status checks submitted for Case 76984. The case is still in our initial processing queues, pending assignment to a Case Office for further evaluation and/or document search if applicable. This means we still need to search for documents, after it's assigned to a Case Officer. Due to the significant increase in FOIA requests, it is often difficult estimate the processing timeline. Estimating an actual completion date for your case is also difficult, as it is entirely dependent on whether or not document are located, how many documents are found, and the complexity of any document located. Please be advised that, since the records you request are related to Intellipedia, it is likely that we will have to consult with other Agencies prior to release which could cause additional delays. The average completion date for those cases is 4 years. Please be advised that this estimate is subject to change.

We appreciate your patience thus far.

A copy of documents responsive to the request.

From: Todd Feathers

Hello,

I am writing to appeal the NSA's partial denial of my FOIA request (#76984A), which I originally submitted March 1, 2014. On Jan. 6, 2016, I received a partial response to my request.

I had asked for "Any and all Intellipedia pages about Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter and Verizon." In its response, NSA provided three documents (one apparently a cover letter regarding my request) consisting of 12 pages. The documents contained Intellipedia entries for Google and Yahoo, but none for the other three companies I requested.

The NSA wrote that "Certain information, however, has been deleted from enclosure." Specifically, the agency wrote, it withheld "internal URLs" and "personal information regarding individuals." I do not dispute the agency's decision to withhold that information. I do however, request that NSA fuflfill the entirety of my request by providing me the Intellipedia pages on Facebook, Twitter, and Verizon.

Sincerely,
Todd Feathers
