July 02, 2020 Re: USAID FOIA Request No. F-00299-20 (FOIA Specialist Assignment Email) Dear Mr. Petti: This acknowledges receipt of your July 01, 2020, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Specifically, you requested the following: 1) a copy of all written messages from U.S. diplomats or other officials in Iraq or Turkey related to the Makhmour (also spelled Makhmur, Mahmur, or Mexmûr) refugee camp and 2) a copy of all written directives to U.S. diplomats or other officials in Iraq or Turkey related to the Makhmour refugee camp. (Date Range for Record Search: From 2/23/2010 To 6/29/2020). FOIA Specialist our request has been assigned to Adam Abdi, Program Manager/Senior FOIA Specialist. You may contact Adam Abdi by email at aabdi@usaid.gov or by phone on 202-916-4664. Please reference the tracking number cited above in any future correspondence. Extending the FOIA’s Time Limits due to Unusual Circumstances The FOIA provides that an agency may extend its time limits when “unusual circumstances” occur in the processing of a request. See 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(B)(i) (2016). Those “unusual circumstances” are set forth in the statute, 5 U.S.C § 552(a)(6)(B)(iii), and are described as: 1) The need to search for records from field facilities or other locations separate from the office processing the request; 2) The need to search, collect and examine voluminous records; and 3) The need for consultation with another agency. Based upon the records you have requested, we have determined that one or more unusual circumstances will occur during the processing of your request. Accordingly, your response time-limit has been extended beyond the 20 days required by statute; therefore, 10 additional processing days have been added to your request. To mitigate this action, you may limit the scope of the request so that it can be processed more quickly or to arrange an alternative time to respond. If you have any questions or wish to discuss reformulation or an alternative time frame for the processing of your request, you may contact the assigned FOIA Specialist noted above. You may also contact USAID’s FOIA Public Liaison, Christopher Colbow, at foia@usaid.gov.
Additionally, you may contact the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) at the National Archives and Records Administration to inquire about the FOIA mediation services offered: Office of Government Information Services National Archives and Records Administration 8601 Adelphi Road-OGIS, College Park, Maryland 20740-6001 E-mail: ogis@nara.gov Telephone: 202-741-5770; Toll Free: 1-877-684-6448 Fax: 202-741-5769 Thank you for your interest in USAID.

Good afternoon Mr. Petti - Thank you for your patience. We are still
awaiting release recommendations from USAID personnel. As these
recommendations are received, I will process the documents and send you
interim releases. Please note that USAID is experiencing a backlog of FOIA
requests and appeals, which has recently been exacerbated by both COVID-19
and an unprecedented increase in FOIA requests to USAID. Please know that
USAID management is very committed to providing responses to FOIA requests
and appeals, and to remedying the FOIA backlog. If you have any
questions, please let me know.
