Mr. Amarel,
Good afternoon. Our program office cannot locate a search for records relating to a "complaint register". They state that they do not have a database that would contain that information and are requesting that you provide more details regarding your request. Information such as: What is the complaint register? Why would TSA have records related to the investigation under the number 1082188 and what type of investigation is this? Lastly, what is the summary digest report and what would the attachment sheet consist of?
Please provide further clarification to your request by February 19, 2020 or your request will be administratively closed. If you should have any further questions, please contact me directly at anna.pope@tsa.dsh.gov or 571-227-2091. (mailto:anna.pope@tsa.dsh.gov)
