Good Morning Mr. Tobias,
Was this request submitted through the proper channels? If not, this will need to be submitted through the proper channels. I have an automatic reply that should have provided this information to you.

Per our regulations, your request cannot be processed until you resubmit it utilizing one of the written forms of submission notes above. See 43 C.R.F. §2.3(b).

I'm following up on the following Freedom of Information Act request, copied below, and originally submitted on March 1, 2020. You previously indicated that it would be completed on July 23, 2020. I wanted to let you know that I am still interested in the following documents, and to see if that date was still accurate. You had assigned it reference number #FWS-2020-00633.
Thanks for your help, and let me know if further clarification is needed.

Jimmy-
A partial response was sent on Friday, July 17, 2020 for this FOIA request (see attached). It is being processed concurrently with FOIA tracking numbers FWS-2020-00506 and FWS-2020-00516 due to the overlap in responsive records. There are still ~1500 emails potentially responsive to all 3 of your requests (for Phillips, Miranda and Oetker) to be processed.
I will send another interim response August 7, 2020 and will do so on a monthly basis until our review is complete.
Thank you,

Hello, Jimmy-
Per our conversation, I plan to send an interim by the end of this week (October 2). Any documents that will be withheld in full or part require Solicitor review, and I cannot guarantee the time it will take for their review. Hopefully it is fairly quick so these requests can be finalized.
Thank you!
