Mr. Tobias,
Please note the tracking number assigned to this request is NPS-2020-00551, not 601018. Please reference the 20-551 number on all correspondence related to this request. At this time there are 3 expedited, 1 simple, and 80 normal requests ahead of you in the processing queue.

Sincerely,
C.

Mr. Tobias,
I received the responsive records back from the subject matter expert (SME) review last week. I need to make their proposed changes and then send the response package to the Solicitor's office for final legal review. So I am currently hoping to get our final response out to you within the next week or so.
Sincerely,
C.
