It's the end-of-quarter and end-of-year SEC rush to get their bonuses pumped by hitting their "exceeds" on their annual "goals and objectives" performance reviews.

Happens in almost all Federal and state agencies.

If you want something done to dispose of a case or open a new case (each of which typically generate 'points' for many bureaucrats that are used to measure their productivity), you call and email them in the 2-3 weeks before end-of-quarter and end-of-year (fiscal or calendar) when they are desperate to hit their points goals before the deadline - as that is used in many agencies to determine raises and/or bonuses.
