We are in receipt of your payment of the FEE ESTIMATE.
FOIAs are processed in a First In, First Out (FIFO) manner.
Due to a staffing shortage and the government shutdown, there is a significant delay in the processing of FOIA requests.
We are working expeditiously to get a response out to you. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
As such, we recommending that Requestors utilize the following resources which may aide in the narrowing of the scope and processing time of their FOIA request:

2. (CGMIX) - Reportable Marine Casualty Reports are posted on the following website: <https://cgmix.uscg.mil/IIR/IIRSearch.aspx> https://cgmix.uscg.mil/IIR/IIRSearch.aspx. You may search by Vessel, Organization or Facility.
3. Reportable Marine Casualty Incident Investigations are uploaded to <https://cgmix.uscg.mil/IIR/IIRSearch.aspx> https://cgmix.uscg.mil/IIR/IIRSearch.aspx when the Coast Guard has completed the investigation.
