Re: 2017-NPFO-00221

Dear Ms. Mirza:

This acknowledges receipt of your February 6, 2017, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), for "all e-mails between Haroon Azar, the Strategic Engagement Regional Director, and Salam Al-Marayati and Edina Lecovich of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC)". Your request was received in this office on February 10, 2017.

Due to the increasing number of FOIA requests received by this office, we may encounter some delay in processing your request. Per Section 5.5(a) of the DHS FOIA regulations, 6 C.F.R. Part 5, the Department processes FOIA requests according to their order of receipt. Although DHS' goal is to respond within 20 business days of receipt of your request, the FOIA does permit a 10-day extension of this time period. As the subject matter of your request is of substantial interest to two or more components of this Department or of substantial interest to another agency, we will need to consult with those entities before we issue a final response. Due to these unusual circumstances, DHS will invoke a 10-day extension for your request, as allowed by Title 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(B). If you care to narrow the scope of your request, please contact our office. We will make every effort to comply with your request in a timely manner.

Provisions of the Act allow us to recover part of the cost of complying with your request. We shall charge you for records in accordance with the DHS Interim FOIA regulations as they apply to media requestors. As a media requestor you will be charged 10-cents a page for duplication, although the first 100 pages are free. You stated in your request that you are willing to pay assessable fees. You will be contacted before any additional fees are accrued.

We have queried the appropriate component of DHS for responsive records. If any responsive records are located, they will be reviewed for determination of releasability. Please be assured that one of the processors in our office will respond to your request as expeditiously as possible. We appreciate your patience as we proceed with your request.

Your request has been assigned reference number 2017-NPFO-00221. Please refer to this identifier in any future correspondence.
