Ms. Farkus,
I apologize, I had not seen your earlier request as it ended up in my spam
folder. In accordance with 43 CFR 2.5(a), a requester must describe the
records in sufficient detail to enable an employee familiar with the
subject area of the request to locate responsive records with a reasonable
amount of effort. Your request does not meet this requirement. Because of
the nature of your request, we are unable to determine exactly what records
you are requesting. The NHL Program's files only contain materials related
to the designation process, which includes the following: the NHL
nomination form and any updated documentation, photographs, a USGS map, and
documentation related to the NHL designation process, and in some cases,
Historic Structures Reports. The NHL Program is not the official repository
for all materials related to a National Historic Landmark; our files only
contain materials related to the NHL designation process. We do not own or
manage NHLs, with the exception of the few located within National Park
Service units.
Please be as specific as possible concerning the type of documents you are
requesting. If you know, please include the date, title or name, author,
recipient, and subject matter of the records you are seeking. Additionally,
please identify the geographical location and timeframe for which you are
seeking records. It is unclear whether your request covers only records in
the bureau’s headquarters or in its field offices as well.
We will be unable to proceed further with your request until we receive
additional clarification from you. In accordance with our regulations (43
CFR 2.51), if we do not hear from you within 20 workdays of the date of
this letter, we will assume you are no longer interested in this matter and
will close the file on your request
Sincerely,
C.
