Dear Mr. Snow:
Your Freedom of Information Act request has been received by the Office of Human Resources Management. You have requested a copy of the most recent database maintained by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) detailing employee compensation across the agency. I apologize for the delay.
Specifically you have requested this release to include, for each employee, the following: name of employee, age, gender, ethnicity, job title, location and earnings. This office is not required by 5 CFR 293.311 to provide the age, gender or ethnicity of VA employees or any other information felt to constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
However, the name, position, location and salary can be released. Please contact me as soon as possible after receiving this letter to advise on how you wish to proceed. If I do not hear back from you within 30 days, per VA policy I will assume that you are no longer interested and will close this request.
If you do not agree with this response you may appeal in writing to the General Counsel. If you chose to do so, please state why you disagree. The address is General Counsel (024), Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20420.

Good Morning Mr. Snow,
Please know that the FOIA Service has received your inquiry.
Pursuant to your inquiry, I reviewed 15-04317-F in FOIAXpress, the database utilized by the VA to track FOIA requests. Unfortunately, a review of FOIAXpress failed to produce any additional information at this time. We are requesting that Ms. Hayes contact you regarding the status of your request.
Please know that if you are dissatisfied with the handling of your FOIA request you may appeal. You may appeal in writing to:
Department of Veterans Affairs
General Counsel (024)
810 Vermont Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20420
You may also submit your appeal via facsimile to (202) 273‐6388 or via email to ogcfoiaappeals@va.gov<mailto:ogcfoiaappeals@va.gov>. Please include a copy of your request and my acknowledgment letter with your appeal, and clearly state why you disagree with this determination (in this case you would be appealing based on the timeliness of the processing of your request). If you mail your appeal, both the front of the envelope and the letter should be clearly marked “Freedom of Information Act Appeal.”
As an alternative to submitting an appeal an alternative option is to contact the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) which was created to offer mediation services to resolve disputes between FOIA requesters and federal agencies. Using OGIS does not affect your right to appeal. You may contact OGIS in any of the following ways:
