Staffing and budget papers (narrower refile)

This is a narrower second version of an earlier staffing and budget request, filed to ask for Track 1, USCIS's simple processing track. It asks for the FOIA-program budget justifications, staffing reports and workforce analyses for the National Records Center for fiscal years 2025 and 2026, including any report on processor attrition (staff leaving) or productivity requirements.
