Dear Ms. Hayes:

Thank you for submitting your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to
the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), via the
*FOIAOnline* website. We received your request on May 16, 2019. Your
request asks for a finding aid (that may be a spreadsheet) for FBI files in
Accession # LTI-065-2015-0035. Our records show that these are what are
known as Class 45 Headquarters records accessioned on June 30, 2015, and
comprise 9 boxes, not 8 boxes as stated in your request.

This office handles FOIA and Privacy Act requests for the National Archives
and Records Administration's *operational *records (records created by this
agency). Because your *FOIAOnline *request is fora record that may be an
*archival *record (records that were created by or originated in a
different agency but that may have been transferred to the legal custody of
NARA), we have forwarded it to our *Office of Research Services, Special
Access and FOIA* staff who handle FOIA requests for archival records.

Since the *Office of Research Services, Special Access and FOIA* does not
process FOIA requests through *FOIAOnline*, your request has been removed
from the *FOIAOnline* website and you will be assigned a new tracking
number by that office within the next 20 business days. In the future, if
you need to follow up with that office directly, please contact them at the
address below, or electronically via email.

Re: Freedom of Information Act Request NGC19-323

Dear Ms. Hayes:

This is in response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) consult dated May 17, 2019 and received in our office via, foia@nara.gov. Your request was assigned FOIAonline tracking number NARA-NGC-2019-000486, and the above noted internal tracking number NGC19-323. In your request you requested a spreadsheet detailing the titles, date of creation, page number, and classification of any and all documents contained within 8 boxes that were transferred from the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s archives to the National Archives and Records Administration on or around the 6th of May, 2015 with accession designation LT1-065-2015-0035.

We conducted a search of our records and located a finding aid for accession LT1-065-2015-2235 (Headquarters, Class 45, boxes 1-9) that lists the box number, title, volume/section number, and enclosures. We are releasing the document in full with no redactions. This document is the only document we have listing the contents in accession LT1-065-2015-0035.

This completes the processing of your FOIA request to us.

If you are not satisfied with our action on this request, you have the right to file an administrative appeal within ninety (90) calendar days from the date of this letter via regular U.S. mail or email. By filing an appeal, you preserve your rights under FOIA and give the agency a chance to review and reconsider your request and the agency’s decision. If you submit your appeal in writing, please address it to the Deputy Archivist of the United States (ND), National Archives and Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, Maryland 20740. Both the letter and the envelope should be clearly marked “Freedom of Information Act Appeal.” If you submit your appeal by e-mail please send it to FOIA@nara.gov, also addressed to the Deputy Archivist of the United States. Please be sure to explain why you believe this response does not meet the requirements of the FOIA. All correspondence should reference your case tracking number NGC19-323, and your FOIAonline tracking number.

If you would like to discuss our response before filing an appeal to attempt to resolve your dispute without going through the appeals process, you may contact our FOIA Public Liaison Gary M. Stern for assistance at:
