Dear Mr. Peck:

This is to acknowledge your email request dated August 5, 2015, seeking "count of the number of P25 capable radio units or systems in use by, or owned, or leased, or otherwise utilized by

Mobile P25 Radios; any P25 Phase 1 and Phase 2 capable radios; yearly break-down by radio model, if available." Our FOIA office received your Freedom of Information request on

For your information, Congress excluded three discrete categories of law enforcement and national security records from the requirements of the FOIA, See 5 U.S.C. ยง 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 is given to all our requesters and should not be taken as an indication that excluded records do, or do not, exist.

We regret to inform you that we cannot comply to your request. The National Security Division does have P25 capable radio units or systems in use by, or owned, or leased, or otherwise utilized
by the agency; any of the Motorola ASTRO APX P25 portables, Vertex Standard P25 portables, ICOM P25 portables, RELM Wireless P25 portables, Motorola MOTOTRBO DMR radios, and Mobile P25 Radios; any P25 Phase 1 and Phase 2 capable radios. Therefore, your file is hereby administratively closed in the National Security Division.

If you are not satisfied with my response to your request, you may administratively appeal by writing to the Director, Office of Information Policy, United States Department of Justice, Suite 11050, 1425 New York Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20530-0001, or you may submit an appeal through OIP's eFOIA portal at http://www.justice.gov/oip/efoia-portal.html. Your appeal must be postmarked or transmitted electronically within sixty days from the date of this letter. If you submit your appeal by mail, both the letter and the envelope should be clearly marked "Freedom of Information Act Appeal."
