From: National Archives and Records Administration

Dear Mr. Carter:

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 October 29, 2019. Your request concerns
architectural drawings for the Pentagon (NAID 23869260).

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 for records that may be
*archival *records (records 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 *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 Research Services 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.

From: National Archives and Records Administration

Dear Mr. Carter,

This is in response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request of
October 29, 2019, to the National Archives and Records Administration
(NARA), which was forwarded to our unit, the Electronic Records Division
Reference Branch (RDER). Your request has been assigned the FOIA reference
number 20-05003.

You requested access to the Pentagon Heating and Refrigeration Plant
Architectural and Structural Drawings, ca. 2013 - 10/22/2014. The records
have access restrictions, in that the records may contain information
exempt from disclosure under FOIA(b)(7e), which relates to law enforcement.
You may view a description of the records in the National Archives Catalog
at: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/23869260. As the description indicates,
the series contains 136 architectural and structural blueprints in portable
document format (PDF) and one electronic index in Microsoft Excel format
(.xlsx), which serves as a finding aid for the records.

We assume that you are requesting access to all files in the series.
Because access is fully restricted, our office has handed over the 137
files to NARA's Special Access/FOIA unit so that they can determine what
information can be released. Their office will contact you with further
information regarding the processing of your request.

This concludes the processing of your FOIA request in this office (RDER).

We do not consider this a denial of your FOIA request as we have provided
NARA's Special Access/FOIA unit with the files you requested for their
review. 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 email, 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 internal case tracking
number 20-05003.

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 Acting FOIA Public Liaison, Lynn Goodsell, for
assistance at:

Acting FOIA Public Liaison: Lynn Goodsell
8601 Adelphi Road, Room 5500
College Park, MD 20740-6001
Email: DC.foia.liaison@nara.gov
Telephone: 301-837-3190

If you are unable to resolve your FOIA dispute through our FOIA Public
Liaison, the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS), the Federal
FOIA Ombudsman’s office, offers mediation services to help resolve disputes
between FOIA requesters and Federal agencies. The contact information for
OGIS is:
