To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
any and all records pertaining to the audit report OIG-17-035 (STATE SMALL BUSINESS CREDIT INITIATIVE - New York’s Use of Federal Funds for Other Credit Support Programs - 1/24/17), including but not limited to the documents listed in Appendix 1; transcripts, recordings, and/or notes pertaining to the interviews also mentioned in Appendix 1; and any other correspondence, memoranda, notes, and the like.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Luke Stoddard Nathan

Mr. Nathan - Treasury OIG has received your request for our SSBCI audit OIG-17-035. It will be processed in the Treasury Department's central FOIA office, and our files will be reviewed to identify records responsive to your request. Those records will be analyzed to determine which are releasable under the FOIA.

Mr. Delmar,
I appreciate your acknowledgment of my request.
You write, "Treasury OIG has received your request for our SSBCI audit OIG-17-035." While perhaps I am over-scrutinizing your language, I wanted to make ensure, out of an abundance of caution, that my request is interpreted not merely as a request for the SSBCI audit OIG-17-035 itself, which is already publicly available (https://www.treasury.gov/about/organizational-structure/ig/Audit%20Reports%20and%20Testimonies/OIG-17-035.pdf), but for, as originally stated, "any and all records pertaining to the audit report OIG-17-035 [...] including but not limited to the documents listed in Appendix 1; transcripts, recordings, and/or notes pertaining to the interviews also mentioned in Appendix 1; and any other correspondence, memoranda, notes, and the like."
Thank you for your ongoing assistance in this matter.
From: Delmar, Richard K.
Understood - that's the records analysis process I referred to. This will take some time as many of those records will have been obtained from other entities, and their interests will have to be solicited and analyzed.
