Dear Mrs. Maida:

Under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552(e), enclosed is the Department of the Interior's annual report of activities for fiscal year 2002. The report also may be found at the following Internet address: http://www.doi.gov/foia/02anrep.htm.

We regret the delay in submitting the FY 2002 report. As you are aware, in October 2002, the Department implemented a new centralized electronic FOIA tracking system. One of our offices had difficulty preparing its annual report this year due to the problems we had with the porting of the legacy data.

If you have any questions regarding the enclosed report, please contact me at (202) 208-5342.

Sincerely, /s/ Alexandra Mallus Departmental Freedom of Information Act Officer
