Good afternoon Ms. North-Best,

We're contacting you in reference to the FOIPA request number included in the subject line of this email.  The FBI located approximately 3800 pages potentially responsive to your request. 

Requests are processed in the order in which they are received through our multi-track processing system:
Small track requests (0-50 pages) current average time is approximately 4 months to complete;
Medium track requests (51-500 pages) current average time is approximately 41 months to complete;
Large track requests (501-4,999 pages) current average time is approximately 67 months to complete; and
Extra-large track requests (over 5,000 pages) current average time is approximately 79 months to complete.

The current average time to complete your large track request is at least 67 months. Reducing the scope of your request may accelerate the processing, allow for a timelier receipt of the information you seek, and reduce the duplication costs, if applicable. Would you be willing to consider reducing the scope of your request to place it in a smaller, potentially faster processing track?

Please let us know if this is something you would be interested in further discussing. If you chose to narrow the scope of your request, you will be able to request remaining material via a new FOIPA request submission at the completion of this request, subject to applicable fees.
