On behalf of Quartz, you sought “copies of the Office of Travel & Tourism Industries’ ‘Air Arrivals I-94 Database Annual Datafile’ from 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011 and its associated technical documentation.” You also requested “copies of the Office of Travel & Tourism Industries’ ‘U.S. International Air Travel Statistics Report (APIS/I-92) Data files’ from 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011 and its associated technical documentation.” After consulting with our subject matter experts within ITA, it has been determined that ITA does not maintain the records responsive to your request. Under 15 C.F.R. § 4.3(b), ITA is not required to create or compile a record to satisfy a FOIA request.

Enclosed with this letter is a form that will allow you to obtain these records through NTTO.

Justin, while this will work for the I-94, the I-92 data is not processed by CIC Research. They use it,but the data is actually processed by a NTTO staff member Richard Champley. When I shared the letter with Richard, he stated we should

DHS sends us raw I-92 data each month and we have worked with OCIO, the Commerce webmastersto create a program to take the raw data and develop the reports we sell. I also thought

For both, we rely upon sales to keep them running. If we gave the data away forfree to one, we would have to do it for all. But, since ITA requires that we charge a fee and work tomake the program funded by sales and appropriated funds, there would be no data to provide andit would also terminate several other programs we have that rely upon this data as well. Want more information, give Richard a call at . Ron ErdmannDeputy Director, ResearchU.S. Department of Commerce International Trade Administration National Travel & Tourism Office

FOIA EXEMPTIONS (1) - exempts from disclosure classified national security information. (2) - exempts from disclosure records if disclosure would risk the circumvention of a statute, agency regulation, or other legal requirement. (3) - exempts from disclosure information prohibited from disclosure by another statute. An example of such a statute is section 12(c) of the Export Administration Act which protects information concerning export license applications. (4) - exempts from disclosure (1) trade secrets and (2) information which is (a) commercial or financial, (b) obtained from a person and (c) privileged or confidential. This exemption applies only to information submitted from outside the government. Information which has been voluntarily submitted is confidential if it constitutes information which the submitter would not customarily make available to the public. Information which has been compelled to be submitted is confidential if disclosure is likely to: 1) impair the government's ability to obtain necessary information in the future or 2) cause substantial harm to the competitive position of the person from whom the information was obtained. (5) - exempts from disclosure internal Federal government documents which are both pre-decisional and deliberative.
