I acknowledge receipt of the FCCs response on October 20, 2024, which advised that the FCC does not maintain jurisdiction over the requested records. Given the complex nature of federal oversight and interagency communications, I am requesting clarification and any available assistance in accessing potentially relevant records(Request_Received_Acknow).\n\nBasis for Appeal\nThe purpose of this appeal is to ensure that any records related to interagency communications, funding discussions, or public health policy that may intersect with the Medicaid program are thoroughly reviewed. Specifically:\n\nPotential Communications or Oversight Records:\nWhile the FCC primarily regulates communications, there may be instances where public health communications, federal funding oversight, or discussions on policies impacting state Medicaid programs intersect with FCC records. If the FCC holds any such records or has participated in related interagency communications, I request that they be included in a comprehensive search.\n\nInteragency Coordination or Referral:\nIf the FCC confirms that no relevant records exist, I request guidance on further referrals to appropriate federal agencies, such as HHS or CMS, to assist in locating the necessary records on federal oversight, Medicaid funding, or communications policy related to the Medicaid ABI Waiver Program.\n\nExpedited Processing and Fee Waiver:\nGiven the critical nature of this request for public oversight, I renew my request for expedited processing, as permitted under FOIA, and for a fee waiver under 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(4)(A)(iii), as this request is made solely in the public interest.\n\nRelief Requested\nI respectfully request that the FCC review any records or interagency communications it may hold that pertain to Medicaid program discussions, including any relevant to Connecticuts ABI Waiver Program. If no records exist, I would greatly appreciate any assistance the FCC can provide in directing me to other agencies that may hold the requested records.\n\nBasic Accommodation Requests\nTo ensure my full participation in the FOIA process, I request the following accommodations:\n\nEmail-Only Communication: Please correspond exclusively via email at AabiWR@live.com.\nResponse in Email Body: Include the full substantive response directly in the email body, as attachments may be difficult to access.\nClear Identification of FOIA Representatives: Kindly include the names, titles, and contact information of representatives handling my request.\nNo Portals or External Links: Avoid portals or links that may limit direct access to information within the email.\nThank you for your attention to this matter.

Michele Ellison\n45 L Street NE\nWashington, DC 20554\nEmail: FOIA-Appeal@fcc.gov\n\nSubject: Appeal of FOIA Determination Request #FCC-FOIA-2025-000150\n\nCC:\nStephanie Kost, FOIA Public Liaison\nFOIA Public Liaison Office\nFederal Communications Commission Jessica Rosenworcel \n\nIntroduction\nThis appeal addresses the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) determination on October 20, 2024, regarding FOIA Request #FCC-FOIA-2025-000150. The FCC claimed it does not hold jurisdiction over records relevant to the Connecticut Medicaid Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Waiver Program. I am appealing this determination on the grounds that the FCC may still possess records or interagency communications relevant to the request or may have knowledge of their location.\n\nThis appeal is filed in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(a)(6)(A)(i)) and related federal statutes to ensure compliance with FOIAs purpose of transparency, as well as accessibility under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 794).\n\nBasis for Appeal\n1. Incomplete Record Search by FCC\nWhile the FCC's primary jurisdiction pertains to communications regulation, it is not unreasonable to anticipate that public health-related communications, federal funding oversight, or interagency discussions on Medicaid may intersect with FCC records. Specifically:\n\nInteragency Communications: FCC may have been included in discussions involving broadband access, telehealth policies, or communications infrastructure relevant to Medicaid programs, including Connecticuts ABI Waiver Program.\nOversight of Communications Policies Impacting Public Health Programs: FCC records may include guidance, internal communications, or reports relevant to infrastructure supporting Medicaid programs.\n2. Inadequate Assistance with Referrals\nThe FCCs response did not include adequate guidance or referrals to other agencies that may hold relevant records. Under FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(a)(6)(C)(i)), agencies must notify requesters if they do not possess the requested records and assist by directing them to agencies that might. As an independent agency, the FCC often collaborates with federal and state agencies. I am requesting clarification of potential interagency referrals to:\n\nHHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR): Ensuring Medicaid providers comply with accessibility and anti-discrimination policies.\nCenters for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS): Overseeing Medicaid funding, regulatory compliance, and provider participation.\nDepartment of Justice (DOJ), Civil Division: Investigating fraud or mismanagement involving Medicaid funds.\nRelief Requested\nTo resolve this matter, I request the following:\n\nConduct a Comprehensive Search:\n\nInteragency Records: Search for records involving interagency communications or oversight impacting Medicaid programs.\nInfrastructure Records: Identify any FCC involvement in telecommunication or broadband policies linked to the ABI Waiver Program or Medicaid programs generally.\nIssue Referrals if Necessary:\n\nReferrals: Identify and notify agencies that are likely to possess the requested records.\nConfirmation of Referrals: Provide written confirmation of all referrals made.\nProvide an Estimated Completion Date (EDC):\n\nUnder 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(7)(B)(ii), provide a specific EDC for processing this appeal.\nAdhere to ADA Accommodations:\n\nCommunication via Email Only: All correspondence must be sent to AabiWR@live.com.\nInclude Text in Email Body: Embed all responses directly within the email body, with properly formatted attachments.\nIdentify FOIA Representatives: Include the full name, title, and contact information of the FOIA representatives processing this appeal.\nAvoid Portals or External Links: Refrain from requiring portal-based communication or linking to external websites that create accessibility barriers.\nApprove Expedited Processing and Fee Waiver:\n\nExpedited Processing: Approve expedited processing as provided under 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(6)(E), as the request involves matters of urgent public interest, including Medicaid program oversight and public health accountability.\nFee Waiver: Confirm the fee waiver request under 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(4)(A)(iii), as the request is not for commercial use and serves a significant public interest.\nLegal and Policy Support\n1. FOIA Statutory Obligations (5 U.S.C. 552)\nAgency Assistance Obligation ( 552(a)(6)(C)(i)): FOIA requires that agencies without relevant records assist requesters by referring them to agencies likely to possess such records.\nEstimated Completion Date ( 552(a)(7)(B)(ii)): Agencies must provide requesters with an EDC upon request to ensure transparency and accountability.\n2. ADA and Rehabilitation Act Compliance\nUnder the ADA (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 794), federal agencies must provide reasonable accommodations to ensure accessibility for individuals with disabilities. This includes adherence to my communication and document format requests.\n3. Executive Order 13392\nThis Executive Order mandates federal agencies to prioritize improvements in FOIA processing to ensure timely and equitable disclosure of records.\nConsequences of Continued Non-Compliance\nFailure to address this appeal promptly and adequately may result in escalation to the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) for mediation or formal legal action to enforce compliance with FOIA and ADA requirements.\n\nConclusion\nI trust the FCC will recognize the importance of this appeal and take immediate action to fulfill its obligations under FOIA and ADA laws. Please provide a substantive response no later than 20 business days from the date of this letter.\n\nThank you for your attention to this matter.\n\nSincerely,\nDavid Medeiros\nFounder & Owner, ABI Resources\n39 Kings HWY STE C\nGales Ferry, Connecticut, 06335\nEmail: AabiWR@live.com\n\nAttachments:\n\nOriginal FOIA Request (10/17/2024)\nFCC Response (10/20/2024)\nInitial Appeal Submission (11/01/2024)" }, { "when": "2024-12-09 11:33:15", "file": "2024-12-09T11_33_15.645752 Communication.txt", "text": "Attached Document \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n You have received document(s) for Request: \n FCC-FOIA-2025-000358-A \n \n \"National FOIA Portal Request (Appeal of FCC-FOIA-2025-000150)\" \n \n Documents are attached to this email. \n \n \n \n \n \n Request Details \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Title \nFCC-FOIA-2025-000358-A - To Whom It May Concern:\n\nPursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:\n\nFreedom of Information Officers\nSubject: Comprehensive FOIA Request for Connecticut Medicaid Acquired Brain Injury Waiver Program Records\n\nDear Freedom of Information Officers,\n\nI am writing to formally request access to all records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552) and relevant Connecticut state laws, specifically related to the Connecticut Medicaid Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Waiver Program.

Your handling of this matter raises critical concerns under FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA, 42 U.S.C. 12132), and constitutional principles of government accountability.\n\nAs recognized in National Archives and Records Administration v. Favish, 541 U.S. 157 (2004), transparency is fundamental to democracy and public trust. Your agencys obligations are not discretionary, and failure to meet them constitutes a violation of statutory and constitutional law. This letter establishes your duties, addresses deficiencies, and anticipates and counters all potential deflection strategies.\n\n1. FOIA Obligations: Statutory Mandates and Required Actions\nFOIA establishes an enforceable right of access to federal agency records. Your response must meet the following requirements:\n\nA. Timeliness\nUnder 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(6)(A), you are required to provide a determination within 20 business days. Delays beyond this timeframe, absent legitimate extension requests, constitute a violation of FOIA.\n\nCountermeasure: Delays are actionable under Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington v. DOJ, 711 F.3d 180 (D.C. Cir. 2013).\nRequired Action: Provide the requested records or a lawful determination.\n\nB. Adequacy of Search\nFOIA requires a thorough and reasonable search for records, as established in Campbell v. DOJ, 164 F.3d 20 (D.C. Cir. 1998). This includes:\n\nIdentifying the databases, locations, and terms used.\nProviding a sworn affidavit detailing the search scope.\nCountermeasure: A vague claim of \"no responsive records\" is insufficient without a detailed affidavit.\nRequired Action: Submit a sworn affidavit documenting the search or confirm the existence of responsive records.\n\nC. Proper Use of Exemptions\nExemptions under 5 U.S.C. 552(b) must be narrowly applied and justified with specific explanations. Blanket or vague exemptions are impermissible.\n\nCountermeasure: A Vaughn index (Vaughn v. Rosen, 484 F.2d 820 (D.C. Cir. 1973)) is required to justify each withholding.\nRequired Action: Submit a Vaughn index detailing each exemption and its justification within 10 business days.\n\nD. Decentralization and Referrals\nReferrals or decentralization excuses do not absolve your agency of its responsibility to provide a consolidated response. As held in McGehee v. CIA, 697 F.2d 1095 (D.C. Cir. 1983), agencies must coordinate internally to ensure compliance.\n\nCountermeasure: Require assurance of continuity and coordination across divisions.\nRequired Action: Consolidate records from all relevant offices and provide a unified response.\n\n2. ADA and Rehabilitation Act Compliance: Equal Access as a Legal Right\nAs a person with a documented disability, I am entitled to reasonable accommodations under the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Your failure to provide accessible formats for requested records constitutes discrimination and violates federal law.\n\nCase Law:\nTennessee v. Lane, 541 U.S. 509 (2004): Agencies must ensure meaningful access to government services.\nAlexander v. Choate, 469 U.S. 287 (1985): Denial of reasonable accommodations creates barriers that violate civil rights.\nRequired Action:\n\nProvide all requested records in accessible formats, including plain-language summaries or electronic files compatible with assistive technologies.\nConfirm compliance with ADA requirements by [specific date].\n3. Mandated Reporting and Whistleblower Protections\nYour handling of this request implicates broader concerns, including potential fraud, misuse of federal funds, or retaliation against whistleblowers. Under the Whistleblower Protection Act (5 U.S.C. 2302), you are required to report and address systemic violations.\n\nCountermeasure: Reference Misprision of Felony (18 U.S.C. 4), which requires the reporting of observed violations of law.\nRequired Action: Document and escalate evidence of misconduct to oversight bodies, including the Office of Inspector General (OIG).\n\n4. Consequences of Non-Compliance\nFailure to comply with your statutory obligations knowingly constitutes violations of:\n\nObstruction of Justice (18 U.S.C. 1505): Delaying lawful access to records obstructs public accountability.\nCivil Rights Violations (42 U.S.C. 1983): Denying ADA accommodations constitutes a deprivation of federally protected rights.\nMisprision of Felony (18 U.S.C. 4): Concealing or failing to report observed violations is a criminal act.\nCountermeasure: Prepare for judicial review, oversight complaints, and public advocacy if compliance fails.\n5. Escalation Pathways\nIf your office does not comply within the specified timeframe, I will escalate this matter through:\n\nJudicial Review: Filing a lawsuit under 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(4)(B) to compel disclosure.\nOversight Complaints: Submitting formal complaints to OGIS, OIG, and the DOJ Civil Rights Division.\nPublic Advocacy: Engaging investigative journalists, transparency advocates, and public interest organizations to ensure accountability.\n\n6. Final Statement: Upholding Transparency and Accountability\nThis matter reflects the publics right to transparency and the preservation of trust in government institutions. Your actions will either affirm your agencys commitment to accountability or further evidence systemic disregard for these principles.\n\nI look forward to your prompt and substantive response.\n\nDavid Medeiros\nABI Resources\n\nState of Connecticut Officials:\n\nGovernor Ned Lamont\nTitle: Governor of Connecticut\nOffice Address: State Capitol, 210 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, CT 06106\nPhone: (860) 566-4840\nToll-Free: (800) 406-1527\nTDD: (860) 524-7397\nEmail: Contact Form\nWebsite: https://portal.ct.gov/governor\n\nAttorney General William Tong\nTitle: Attorney General of Connecticut\nOffice Address: 165 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, CT 06106\nPhone: (860) 808-5318\nEmail: attorney.general@ct.gov\nWebsite: https://portal.ct.gov/ag\n\nCommissioner Andrea Barton Reeves\nTitle: Commissioner, Connecticut Department of Social Services (DSS)\nOffice Address: 55 Farmington Avenue, Hartford, CT 06105\nPhone: (860) 424-5053\nEmail: andrea.bartonreeves@ct.gov\nWebsite: https://portal.ct.gov/dss\n\nConnecticut Freedom of Information Commission (FOIC)\nOffice Address: 165 Capitol Avenue, Suite 1100, Hartford, CT 06106\nPhone: (860) 566-5682\nToll-Free: 1-866-374-3617\nEmail: foi@ct.gov\nWebsite: https://portal.ct.gov/foi\n\nFederal Officials and Agencies:\n\nSenator Richard Blumenthal\nTitle: U.S. Senator from Connecticut\nWashington D.C.
