Subject of Request: Processing Notes for request #DOJ-2016-003759

Dear Mr. Peck:
Your recent request for records from the Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA) has been received.  Before the Executive Office can begin processing your request, it is necessary for you to correct one or more deficiencies.  Please comply with the paragraph(s) checked below:
1.     [  ]        A requester must provide a notarized example of his/her signature.  This insures that information pertaining to an individual is released only to that person.  A form is enclosed for your use.
2.      [  ]  The files and records of United States Attorneys are maintained in over one hundred separate offices throughout the United States.  Please identify the specific United States Attorney’s office(s), where you believe records may be located.  This would be primarily the district(s) in which a prosecution or litigation occurred.
3.      [   ] The signature of the requester or subject of the request should be notarized by someone other than the requester or his/her representative.
4.      [ X ] A request must describe the records sought in sufficient detail to allow location of the records with a reasonable amount of effort (i.e., processing the request should not require an unduly burdensome effort or be disruptive of Department operations). Please provide more specific information about the records you seek, such as appropriate dates, locations, names, nature of the records, etc. The request number you cite is not under your name.. We are processing a second request from you, 2017-000434, for a previous request which is under your name and perhaps is the one you meant for this request.
5.       [   ] Please note that your original letter was split into sepatate files ("requests"), for processing purposes, based on the nature  of what you sought. Each file was given a separate Request Number (listed below), for which you will receive a separate response:
Once you have corrected the above deficiencies, please submit a new request for the documents.  This is a final determination and your request for information has been closed.  When we have received your new, corrected request, we will open a new file for you. Please send your new, corrected request to the address above.            By making a FOIA/PA request, you agree to pay fees up to $25, as stated in 28 C.F.R. § 16.3(c), unless you request a waiver of fees (according to requirements in 28 C.F.R. § 16.11(k)).  Indigency does not constitute a basis for a fee waiver.  Please note that pursuant to 28 C.F.R. § 16.11, we are required to charge fees for time used to search for the documents you have requested and for duplication of all pages released to you.  Normally, search time is charged at a rate of $40 per hour after the first two hours which are free, and duplication fees are $0.05 per page after the first 100 pages which are free.  Please do not send any payment at this time!  If we anticipate that fees will exceed $25 or the amount you state in your letter (if greater than $25), we will normally notify you of our estimate of fees.  After we have received your agreement to pay for the expected fees (or you have narrowed your request to reduce fees) and we have processed your request, we will require payment for the accumulated charges before we release any documents to you (in excess of 100 free pages).  Without such payment, your request file will be closed without further action.
Once you have corrected the above deficiencies, please submit a new request for the documents.  This is a final determination and your request for information has been closed.  When we have received your new, corrected request, we will open a new file for you. Please send your new, corrected request to the address above. This is the final action on this above-numbered request. If you are not satisfied with my response to your request, you may administratively appeal by writing to the Director, Office of Information Policy (OIP), 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 FOIAonline portal by creating an account on the following website: https://foiaonline.regulations.gov/foia/action/public/home. Your appeal must be postmarked or electronically transmitted within ninety (90) days of the date of my response to your request. If you submit your appeal by mail, both the letter and the envelope should be clearly marked "Freedom of Information Act Appeal. (https://foiaonline.regulations.gov/foia/action/public/home)
