Dear Sir or Madam:
I am in receipt of your e-mail communication of August 10, 2020. It was apparently related to a different FOIA request than mine. I, Phil Mocek, placed my request with your agency on October 20, 2017. The PDF attached to your message, however, is addressed to a Joseph Cox, and pertains to a request he reportedly placed on July 5, 2019.
Please advise.
Cordially,
Phil Mocek

Mr. Phil Mocek
411A Highland Avenue
Somerville, Massachusetts 02144-2516
Dear Mr. Mocek:
This responds to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request dated 4/8/2017, and received by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) on the same date, in which you requested records concerning Surveillance Agreement between ATF and Seattle City Light. Your request was assigned ATF tracking number 2017-0586/218326. Please refer to this number in any future correspondence.
Please be advised that a search was conducted and, based on the information you provided to us, we were not able to locate any responsive records subject to FOIA.
For your information, 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). This response is limited to those records that are subject to the requirements of the FOIA. This is a standard notification that is given to all our requesters and should not be taken as an indication that excluded records do, or do not, exist.
You may contact our FOIA Public Liaisons, Lynette Carter and Jasmine Bryant, at 202-648-7390, for any further assistance and to discuss any aspect of your request. 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 they offer. The contact information for OGIS is as follows: Office of Government Information Services, National Archives and Records Administration, Room 2510, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, Maryland 20740-6001, e-mail at ogis@nara.gov; telephone at 202-741-5770; toll free at 1-877-684-6448; or facsimile at 202-741-5769.
If you are not satisfied with my response to this request, you may administratively appeal by writing to the Director, Office of Information Policy (OIP), United States Department of Justice, 441 G Street, NW, 6th Floor, Washington, D.C. 20530, or you may submit an appeal through OIP's FOIA STAR portal by creating an account following the instructions on OIP’s website: https://doj-foia.entellitrak.com/etk-doj-foia-prod/login.request.do. Your appeal must be postmarked or electronically transmitted within 90 days of the date of my response to your request. If you submit your appeal by mail, both the letter and the envelope should be clearly marked "Freedom of Information Act Appeal."
Sincerely,
Hirsh D. Kravitz
Acting Chief
