Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Email or other internal correspondences among senior Treasury Department staff — including Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and his staffers Dan Kowalski, Shannon McGahn, Justin Muzinich and Craig Phillips — regarding economic data (from the Commerce Department, other institutions without funding) not being released during the partial government shutdown. The date range should be Friday, Dec. 21, 2018 - Tuesday, Jan. 8, 2019.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Sincerely,
Gina Heeb

Good morning,
Treasury Departmental Offices processes FOIA requests in a multi-track system, which identifies a request as simple or complex, and generally processes each request on a first-in, first-out basis. Your request is considered complex. During the last fiscal year, complex requests were processed on average within 347 business days. Based upon this, I estimate we should have been able to complete your request by May 15, 2020. However, the amount of time that will be required to process requests varies greatly and depends on a number of factors including how many offices or custodians will need to be searched, whether the records you have requested are easily accessible, whether the records are electronic or hard copies, the volume of records located, the classification level of the records, and whether or not consultations with other Federal agencies are required. We continue to diligently search for potentially responsive records.
I apologize for any inconvenience you may be experiencing.
