National Park Service Water Bottle Policy

Mr. Tobias,

I believe the information you have requested is already available online
at: https://www.nps.gov/aboutus/foia/foia-frd.htm

Please let me know if the posted information does not meet your needs. If
we do not hear from you within 20 workdays we will assume you are no longer
interested in this matter and will close the file on your request.

Should you
​feel
that there was a procedural deficiency in this
​response
you have the right to appeal. You may file an appeal by writing to:

Freedom of Information Act Appeals Officer
Office of the Solicitor
U.S. Department of the Interior
1849 C Street, NW
MS-6556-MIB,
Washington, D.C. 20240
foia.appeals@sol.doi.gov

Your appeal must be received no later than
​90
workdays after the date of this response. The appeal should be marked,
both on the envelope and the face of the appeal letter, with the legend
"FREEDOM OF INFORMATION APPEAL." Your appeal should be accompanied by a
copy of your original request and copies of all correspondence between
yourself and the National Park Service related to this request, along with
any information you have which leads you to believe our response to be in
error. Note, any appeal received after 5 p.m. EST will be considered to
have been received on the next business day.

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.

​Also as part of the 2007 OPEN Government Act FOIA amendments, the Office
of Government Information Services (OGIS) was created to offer mediation
services to resolve disputes between FOIA requesters and Federal agencies
as a nonexclusive alternative to litigation. Using OGIS services does not
affect your right to pursue litigation.

You may contact OGIS in any of the following ways:

Office of Government Information Services (OGIS)
National Archives and Records Administration
Room 2510
8601 Adelphi Road
College Park, MD 20740-6001

E-mail: ogis@nara.gov
Phone: 301-837-1996
Fax: 301-837-0348
Toll-free: 1-877-684-6448

​​Please feel free to contact me, both as the FOIA Liaison and the person
who processed your request if you have any questions regarding this
response. ​

​Sincerely,

C.

Mr. Tobias,

Please note that we notified you on September 22 that we believed the
information you had requested was already available online. In fact a copy
of that response is included in this email thread. As we notified you in
that response because we did not hear anything to the contrary from you
within 20 workdays we have closed your request. If you are still
interested in this material, you will need to submit a new request. If you
do so, please specify exactly what additional information you are seeking.

Sincerely,

C.
