If you are no longer interested, then no further action is required.
You may also contact us to withdraw your case. This will help ensure that other requests are not delayed unnecessarily by expending limited time and resources on a request that is no longer of interest.
If you are still interested in pursuing your FOIA request, please send an email to CBP's FOIA Public Liaison, at cbpfoiapublicliaison@cbp.dhs.gov or mail a letter to 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW MS 1181, Washington DC, 20229 or call 202-325-0150. (If you need telecommunication relay service (TRS) assistance to communicate with the CBP FOIA Office and you are in the United States, please dial 711 to obtain TRS assistance and notify the Communications Assistant that you want to contact the CBP FOIA Office at the telephone number (202) 325-0150.)
In the subject line, please notate file number CBP-2019-049958 and “Still Interested” on any future correspondence to CBP related to this request.
This is not a denial of your request. If we do not hear from you within 30 days from the date of this letter, we will assume you are no longer interested in this FOIA request, and the case will be administratively closed as withdrawn.
Sincerely,
FOIA Division
