The FOIA appended below is address to USDA-FNCS. However, an identical FOIA addressed to USDA/Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) was received in our office on January 5, 2018. The FOIA submitted to APHIS has been logged and assigned tracking number 2018-APHIS-01758-F. Our agency will provide a direct reply to the requester.

Apparently this FOIA was submitted to both APHIS and FNCS.
