Dear Mr. Spatz,

Thank you for your inquiry. At this time we are still waiting on a program
office to send us any potentially responsive records as we do
not retain records in the OS FOIA office. Once we have those records, we
can begin processing them. While we cannot provide you a timeline at this
point, please be assured we are working to complete your request as
promptly as we can.
Thanks,

Hi Emily,

Still interested in this request. Happy to work with you to reduce the amount of responsive records. Would you be able to tell me which search terms are too broad.

Please let me know.

From: Department of Interior, Office of the Secretary

Here's a breakdown of what the search terms pulled up. The unique doc count
means that that term appears in that document and no others. My suggestion
would be to take the emails only and exclude the attachments for now. If we
do that, then it is only 1411 pages. If there are some attachments that
interest you, we can process those faster because we collected them
already.
