| Narrowing down a request refers to working with the requester to reduce the scope of the request or the number of records involved. |
| If at any time additional information is required from the requestee, the Secretary is authorized to acquire it or authorize its acquisition from the requester. |
| The ATIP Office will insert the number of pages released in the response letter going to the requester. |
| In our view, this constitutes good client service in providing an accurate estimate of when the requester will receive the response. |
| By so doing, delays and unnecessary disclosures of requester identities are likely to be avoided. |
| Be cautious of issuing unusual documents, particularly when the text is provided by the requester. |
