Ms. Best,

During a search of our files, one document was located, which originated
with the Office of Management and Budget. That document is currently
undergoing consultation with OMB. Once we received their feedback, we will
be able to issue our response.

Sincerely,

Ms. Best,

During a search of our files, we located two records, one of which is attached and being released to you in full. The other record originated with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) , a Federal Government agency that is also subject to FOIA. For that document, which contained three pages, OMB will issue a response directly to you. You do not have to contact OMB at this time, but should you need to do so in the future, you may do so at:

Dionne Hardy
725 17th Street NW, Suite 9204
Washington, DC 20503
(202) 395-FOIA
(202) 395-3504 (fax)

FOIA Requester Service Center: (202) 395-FOIA
E-mail address: OMBFOIA@omb.eop.gov

Should you consider this response to be a denial of your request, you have the right to appeal. You may file an appeal by writing to:

Freedom of Information Act Appeals Officer
Office of the Solicitor
U.S. Department of the Interior
1849 C Street, NW
MS-6556-MIB,
Washington, D.C. 20240
foia.appeals@sol.doi.gov<mailto:foia.appeals@sol.doi.gov>

Your appeal must be received no later than 90 workdays after the date of this final response. The appeal should be marked, both on the envelope and the face of the appeal letter, with the legend "FREEDOM OF INFORMATION APPEAL." Your appeal should be accompanied by a copy of your original request and copies of all correspondence between yourself and the National Park Service related to this request, along with any information you have which leads you to believe the records are available, including where they might be found, if the location is known to you. Please note, appeals received after 5 p.m. EST will be considered to have been received as of the following day.

Also as part of the 2007 OPEN Government Act FOIA amendments, the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) was created to offer mediation services to resolve disputes between FOIA requesters and Federal agencies as a nonexclusive alternative to litigation. Using OGIS services does not affect your right to pursue litigation.

You may contact OGIS in any of the following ways:

Office of Government Information Services (OGIS)
National Archives and Records Administration
Room 2510
8601 Adelphi Road
College Park, MD 20740-6001
E-mail: ogis@nara.gov<mailto:ogis@nara.gov>
Phone: 301-837-1996
Fax: 301-837-0348
Toll-free: 1-877-684-6448

Additionally, because the National Park Service creates and maintains law enforcement records, we are required by the Department of Justice to provide the following information, even though it may or may not apply to your specific request. Congress excluded three discrete categories of law enforcement and national security records from the requirements of the FOIA. See 5 U.S.C. 552(c) (2006 & Supp. IV 2010). This response is limited to those records that are subject to the requirements of the FOIA. This is a standard notification that we are required to give all our requesters and should not be taken as an indication that excluded records do, or do not, exist.

Please do not hesitate to contact me, as the person responsible for processing your request, with any further questions or concerns. Additionally, contact information for the Department’s FOIA Public Liaison is available at https://www.doi.gov/foia/foiacenters.

Sincerely,

C.
