Dear Mr. Pealock:
This is a final response to your 21 June 2009 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
request received in the office of Information and Privacy Coordinator on I July 2009, for
records on:
1. Five Star Trust
2. U.S. Mortgage and Trust Co.
Your FOIA request cannot be accepted in its current form, because it would require
the Agency to perform an unreasonably burdensome search. The FOIA requires requesters
to "reasonably describe" the information they seek so that professional employees familiar
with the subject matter can locate responsive information with a reasonable amount of
effort. Because of the breadth and lack of specificity of your request, and the way in which
our records systems are configured. the Agency cannot conduct a reasonable search for
information responsive to your request. We encourage you to refine the scope of your
request (such as including a time frame for, and narrower, more specific descriptions of,
the it fonnation you seek) to enable us to conduct a reasonable search for responsive
information.
Delores M. Nelson
Information and Privacy Coordinator
