Communications
From: Derek Mitch
To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
Copies of all contracts between the U.S. Secret Service and Flashpoint Global Partners, and any final reports generated or delivered by Flashpoint Global Partners to the U.S. Secret Service over the past 5 years. I also request copies of all contracts between the U.S. Secret Service and EJ2 Communications Inc, and any final reports generated or delivered by EJ2 Communications Inc to the U.S. Secret Service over the past 5 years.
Flashpoint Global Partners (otherwise known as, simply, "Flashpoint") is a private company that collects data from the so-called deep and dark webs, and provides reports of that activity to clients. The company's website can be found here: https://www.flashpoint-intel.com/about-us/about-us/
EJ2 Communications is a subsidiary of Flashpoint Global Partners.
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,
Derek Mitch

Dear Requester:
This letter is intended to acknowledge the receipt of your recent Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Acts (FOIA/PA) request, received by the United States Secret Service (USSS) on April 11, 2016, for information pertaining to the following:

File Number 20160796: All contracts and final reports between the USSS and EJ2 Communications, Inc. over the past 5 years.
Please be advised, provisions of the Acts allow us to recover part of the cost of complying with your request. We shall charge you for the records in accordance with Interim FOIA regulations as they apply to "all other" requesters. The first 100 pages of duplication are free of charge. As an "all other" requester, you will be charged .10 cents a page for the duplication of each additional page. As an "all other" requester, the first 2 hours of search time are free of charge, after which you will be charged the per quarter-hour rate ($4.00, $7.00, $10.25) of the searcher.
Furthermore, the submission of your request is considered a firm commitment, by you, to pay all applicable duplication and search time costs charged, under 6 C.F.R., Chapter I, Part 5 § 5.11, up to $25.00. A search for files responsive to your request is being conducted. The appropriate components of the Secret Service are being queried for responsive documents. If any responsive records are located, they will be reviewed for determination of releasability. You will be contacted before any additional fees are accrued.
Due to the increasing number of FOIA/PA requests received by this office, we may encounter some delay in processing your request. Per Section 5.5(a) of the FOIA regulations, 6 C.F.R, Chapter I, Part 5, Secret Service processes FOIA/PA requests according to their order of receipt.
Your request has been assigned FOIA File Numbers 20160795 - 20160796. We solicit your cooperation and assure you that the search will be conducted as expeditiously as possible. To check the status of your FOIA request, please contact this office at (202) 406-6370.
