2022-APHIS-00531-F Ward, Rebekah TIMES UNION 11/1/2021 12/2/2021 I am drafting a FOIA request related to some reporting I’ve been doing for the Albany Times 

Union on cross-border issues, and am currently looking at horse trade/transport trends, 

operators, etc. I was hoping to request all the VS10-13 forms for horses brought into Canada 

since January 2020. I’m currently working on my request and wanted to reach out 

beforehand, because from what I’ve found online it seems many people FOIA your department 

for VS10-13 forms for individual transporters/operators instead. I would want to access a 

more generalized set so that I can look at the trade overall, rather than at one particular 

operator; but I was hoping you might have a moment to touch base so I can figure out how to 

make my request as feasible as possible, and any other limitations to the request that you 

think would make the FOIA office’s job over-complicated.

2022-APHIS-00323-F Moraz, Gina ASPCA 10/19/2021 11/17/2021 On behalf of the ASPCA, I request the following: All documents from Animal Welfare Act 

enforcement actions (7060s, Complaints, decisions and orders, pre-settlement agreements, 

stipulations, etc.) for September 2021. The ASPCA requests that APHIS waive any fee, 

including search and duplication costs. A fee waiver is appropriate where “[d]isclosure of the 

requested information is in the public interest ... because it is likely to contribute significantly 

to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government [and] is not 

primarily in the commercial interest of the requester.....” 7 C.F.R. § 1.12(p). Here, a fee 

waiver should be granted as disclosure is in the public interest, as furnishing the information 

is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of 

APHIS and disclosure is not in the ASPCA’s commercial interest. We would be happy to receive 

these records in electronic format if it would be convenient for you. All documents can be sent 

to gina.moraz@aspca.org. If you must send the records via regular mail, please make it to the 

attention of Jennie Lintz, ASPCA, 520 8th Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10018. 

Please confirm receipt of this request. If further information is necessary, please contact me 

at this email address. You should institute a preservation hold on information responsive to 

this request. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) intends 

to pursue all legal avenues to enforce its right of access under FOIA, including litigation if 

necessary. Accordingly, you are on notice that litigation is reasonably foreseeable. (Date
