FARR WEST -- No new information is being released about the suspicious substance found Monday at the Internal Revenue Service Building at 1973 Rulon White Blvd.
Debbie Dujanovic Bertram, public affairs specialist for the FBI's Utah office, said Tuesday the investigation is ongoing.
She said the FBI will have more information soon.
The IRS and U.S. Postal Inspection Service referred questions to the FBI.
An official from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service said Monday the substance found at the building was non-hazardous.
Two IRS workers were taken to an Ogden hospital, but officials said their medical emergencies are unrelated to the material.
Bertram said she was not aware of any connection between the Utah case and one announced Monday by the FBI's Denver office.
That office said it had arrested a Denver resident on charges of mailing threatening letters with white powder to Colorado officials, several congressional representatives and Argentine consulates in Los Angeles and New York.
The Farr West facility where the suspicious substance was found processes paper tax returns filed by businesses.
At its busiest times, the building has approximately 830 employees, including seasonal and part-time workers.
The IRS has between 6,500 and 7,000 employees in Weber County working in up to a dozen buildings.
