To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
All minutes, agendas, PowerPoint presentations, spreadsheets, word documents, or other agency records created in preparation for (i.e., before) or as a result of (i.e., after) the meeting CBP’s FOIA Office scheduled on June 28, 2022, from 2pm-3pm East, regarding the agency’s FOIA backlog.
A previous FOIA response from the agency establishes that this June 28 meeting took place. It also offers an acceptable starting point for search parameters because the attendees and invitees who received the Outlook calendar notification are custodians likely to have responsive records.
For the previous request and records released, see here:
Please assign this request to the Simple Track and process it within the time period allowed by law.

CBP-2022-125467
Dear Andrew Free:
This notice acknowledges receipt of your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) received on 09/02/2022 in which you are seeking all minutes, agendas, PowerPoint presentations, spreadsheets, word documents, or other agency records created in preparation for (i.e., before) or as a result of (i.e., after) the meeting CBP’s FOIA Office scheduled on June 28, 2022, from 2pm-3pm East, regarding the agency’s FOIA backlog.
Please use the following unique FOIA tracking number CBP-2022-125467 to track the status of your request. If you have not already done so, you must create a FOIAonline account at https://foiaonline.gov. This is the only method available to check the status of your pending FOIA request. (https://foiaonline.regulations.gov/)
Provisions of the Act allow us to recover part of the cost of complying with your request. We shall charge you for records in accordance with the DHS FOIA regulations outlined on the DHS website, https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/11/22/2016-28095/freedom-of-information-act-regulations. By submitting your request, you have agreed to pay up to $25.00 in applicable processing fees, if any fees associated with your request exceed this amount, CBP shall contact you. (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/11/22/2016-28095/freedom-of-information-act-regulations)
Due to the increasing number of FOIA requests received by this office, we may encounter some delay in processing your request. Consistent with 6 C.F.R. Part 5 § 5.5(a) of the DHS FOIA regulations, CBP processes FOIA requests according to their order of receipt. Although CBP’s goal is to respond within 20 business days of receipt of your request, FOIA does permit a 10-day extension of this time period in certain circumstances pursuant to 6 C.F.R. Part 5 § 5.5(c).
CBP’s FOIA Division is working hard to reduce the amount of time necessary to respond to FOIA requests. We truly appreciate your continued patience.
