Subject: public records

Dear FOIA Officer:

Pursuant to Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. § 552), I request access to and copies of the following public records:

Public records: public records (keywords: public)

Request electronic records in their native format when available.

20 working days under 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(A)(i).

I request a fee waiver under 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(A)(iii) as disclosure of the requested records is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of government and is not primarily in my commercial interest.

This is a Freedom of Information Act request pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552.

If any portion is withheld, please identify the specific statutory basis for withholding and release all reasonably segregable non-exempt portions. If records can be produced on a rolling basis, please do so.

Thank you.

Guidance: Track deadlines carefully and ask for a fee waiver when disclosure is in the public interest.
