Mr. Matsuda,

The information you have requested relating to visitation statistics data is already available online at: https://irma.nps.gov/STATS/.

Please let us know if the posted information does not meet your needs. In accordance with 43 CFR 2.5 if we do not hear from you within 20 workdays we will assume you are no longer interested in this information and will close our file on that portion of your request. The remaining portion of your request, for website usage data, has been routed to Ms. Yamato, the regional FOIA Officer, for further processing.

Additionally, because the National Park Service creates and maintains law enforcement records, we are required by the Department of Justice to provide the following information, even though it may or may not apply to your specific request. Congress excluded three discrete categories of law enforcement and national security records from the requirements of the FOIA. See 5 U.S.C. 552(c) (2006 & Supp. IV 2010). This response is limited to those records that are subject to the requirements of the FOIA. This is a standard notification that we are required to give all our requesters and should not be taken as an indication that excluded records do, or do not, exist.

Sincerely,

C.
