    Default FOIA Appeal

    Illinois

    I'm not sure where this goes or if it's appropriate for this forum. I submitted a FOIA requesting information from BATF. My appeal request was received October 6, 2006. As of yet I have not received a response. I feel as though my logic will hold its ground and I am eager for a response that will state explicit reasons for continued denial or approval (unlikely). So at this stage I would rather have BATF respond to my request than sue. However, they have exceeded the 20 working days to send a response. Is there anything I can do to put them on notice?

    Also, in a FOIA appeal does the agency have to give me a reason beyond the statute they've already provided for denying the appeal. I've specifically asked them to examine my arguments and case history.
