RE: FOIA Case No. 2012-GRO-00025
Dear Mr. Heeger:
This responds to your request dated November 28, 2011 for information regarding a signature on a return receipt card. Your request was referred to our office from the US Postal Service Office of Inspector General.
Your request was sent to the Records Office. This office has the responsibility for responding to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Under the FOIA, 5 USC §552, agencies are mandated to produce records responsive to a request. The core purpose of the FOIA is to provide the public with information about the conduct of government agencies and does not require the Postal Service to answer questions or provide explanations or other information that is not contained in its records. It does not require agencies to create records in response to a request.
It appears you may want to file a complaint; therefore I am referring your letter to our Customer Response Group for direct response to you. You should hear from them shortly.
Sincerely,
Pamela Isreal
Consumer Research Analyst
