January 23-25, 2009 -- Mounting a FOIA "Surge"
On January 21, 2009, President Obama issued new rules for federal departments and agencies to comply with the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA). Obama's memo stated: "All agencies should adopt a presumption in favor of disclosure, in order to renew their commitment to the principles embodied in
FOIA, and to usher in a new era of open Government. The presumption of disclosure should be applied to all decisions involving
FOIA."
The decision by Obama reverses Bush FOIA policies, which advocated withholding information over disclosure. WMR has had one FOIA request (below) pending at the Department of State since 2006 without even a letter on the status of our request.
WMR is providing the following template letter and list of FOIA officials, their addresses, and, where available and most importantly, their fax numbers. Due to the irradiation procedures used by many federal agencies in response to the anthrax attacks, many federal agencies route their mail through irradiation centers bfore delivery, slowing down the FOIA process. Faxed FOIA letters are acceptable to FOIA officers.
WMR readers are encouraged to take full advantage of President Obama's new FOIA policy. FOIA requests will help unclog the Bush FOIA impediments put in place by Attorney General John Ashcroft subsequent to the 9/11 attacks.
The following explains fees charged by departments and agencies:
Fees
There is no initial fee to make a FOIA request, and in many cases no fees are charged. However, agencies are authorized by law to recover the direct costs of providing information to a FOIA requester. For purposes of fees only, the FOIA divides requesters into three categories:
commercial use requesters;
news media, educational, or scientific requesters; and
all other requesters.
Commercial use requesters are charged for search time, document review, and duplication. News media, educational, and scientific requesters are charged for duplication only, after the first 100 pages. All other requesters are charged for search time (after two hours) and duplication (after 100 pages). In your request letter you may make a specific statement limiting the amount of fees you are willing to pay. Ordinarily, you will not be required to actually pay the fees until the records have been processed and are ready to be sent to you.
Fee Waivers
If you expect or are advised that a fee will be charged, you may request a fee waiver of those fees. However, fee waivers are limited to situations in which a requester can show that disclosure of the requested information is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations and activities of the government and is not primarily in the commercial interest of the requester.
