Dear Ms. Moran:
This letter is to acknowledge receipt of your January 13, 2022, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, which was forwarded to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for processing. Your request has been assigned to the Directorate of Enforcement Programs (DEP) for response. Your request has been assigned FOIA tracking number: 2022-F-04785. Please refer to this number in any future correspondence.
You request all complaints related to health and safety submitted to the Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration filed by or on behalf of tobacco farmworkers, between January 2019 and December 2021.
We are processing your request. While we are mindful of the 20 days allotted in the FOIA Statute, please be aware that all FOIA's are cleared through the Office of the Solicitor (SOL), which usually protracts processing time. Additionally, we are experiencing a backlog of requests, as processing weekly COVID-19 data for public consumption is given priority, followed by time allotment to processing FOIA requests received in queue. Please be aware of these considerations while you await your response.
Best regards
