From:
USAID has implemented maximum telework to promote social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Priorities in many of our operating units have shifted, thus impacting processing response times. Please note that USAID is unable to conduct a search for physical records while teleworking. As a result, all search requests will be limited to electronic records, unless you notify us that you want your request to remain open until USAID employees have physical access to their workspaces. We appreciate your understanding during this time. If you have any questions, please email us at foia@usaid.gov . Thank you.

A perfected request for records reasonably describes such records and is made in accordance with published rules stating the time, place, fees (if any) and procedures to be followed.

October 21, 2021 RE: USAID FOIA No. F-00026-22 (FOIA Specialist Assignment Email) Dear Mr. Freudenthal: This acknowledges receipt of your October 21, 2021, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Specifically, you requested records concerning: All the drafts or final reports of audits and/or investigations and/or desk reviews undertaken by the Office of the Inspector General on the response to the 10th, 11th and/or 12th Ebola epidemics in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The timeframe is 14 April 2020 to today. This includes any updates regarding complaint 19-0852 and 20-0502 inter alia.- All reports of the visit by a delegation of U.S. officials to the Democratic Republic of Congo to assess the response to the outbreak. The timeframe is 14 April 2020 until today-(Date Range for Record Search: From 4/14/2020 To 10/21/2021).
Fee
The FOIA provides that fees should be waived or reduced if disclosure of the information is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations and activities of the government and is not primarily in the commercial interest of the requester. As a member of the media, the only applicable fee is duplication. Duplication is $0.10 per page, but the first 100 pages are free. Since the only applicable fee is duplication, and USAID routinely furnishes responsive records to FOIA requesters in electronic format, it's most likely there will be no duplication fees to assess.
FOIA Specialist
Your request has been assigned to Theresa Morris, Senior FOIA Specialist. You may contact Theresa Morris by email at thmorris@usaid.gov or by phone on 202-921-5003. Please reference the tracking number cited above in any future correspondence.
Extending the FOIA’s Time Limits due to Unusual Circumstances The FOIA provides that an agency may extend its time limits when “unusual circumstances” occur in the processing of a request. See 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(B)(i) (2016). Those “unusual circumstances” are set forth in the statute, 5 U.S.C § 552(a)(6)(B)(iii), and are described as: 1) The need to search for records from field facilities or other locations separate from the office processing the request; 2) The need to search, collect and examine voluminous records; and 3) The need for consultation with another agency. Based upon the records you have requested, we have determined that one or more unusual circumstances will occur during the processing of your request. Accordingly, your response time-limit has been extended beyond the 20 days required by statute; therefore, 10 additional processing days have been added to your request. To mitigate this action, you may limit the scope of the request so that it can be processed more quickly or to arrange an alternative time to respond. If you have any questions or wish to discuss reformulation or an alternative time frame for the processing of your request, you may contact the assigned FOIA Specialist noted above. You may also contact USAID’s FOIA Public Liaison, Christopher Colbow, at foia@usaid.gov. (mailto:foia@usaid.gov)
Additionally, you may contact the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) at the National Archives and Records Administration to inquire about the FOIA mediation services offered: Office of Government Information Services National Archives and Records Administration 8601 Adelphi Road-OGIS, College Park, Maryland 20740-6001 E-mail: ogis@nara.gov Telephone: 202-741-5770; Toll Free: 1-877-684-6448 Fax: 202-741-5769 Thank you for your interest in USAID.

Requesting acquisition (contracts, etc.) and assistance (grants, cooperative agreements, etc.) awards:
We receive many requests for procurement documents: solicitations, proposals, and contracts. Sometimes our requesters only provide us with the solicitation number. If possible, when you are requesting winning proposals, please provide the following additional information: the office that issued the solicitation, the title of the solicitation, the name of the successful bidder, and the number of the resulting award. For procurement documents, please provide the award number, office that issued the award, program name, and geographic location.
Thank you,
