Ms. Catherine R. Warnock
Reference: F-2010-00540
Dear Ms. Warnock:
On 29 January 2010, the office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator received
your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request dated 25 January 2010 for information and
records pertaining to Fred A. Miller. We assigned your request the reference number above;
please use this number when corresponding about this request.
We need as much identifying information as possible before we can effectively
search our files for information on an individual. Please provide us your subject's full name,
specific date and place of birth, and citizenship status. If Mr. Miller is a legal permanent
resident (LPR) or a naturalized U.S. citizen, we must ask you to provide the LPR or
naturalization number and date he acquired that status. Without this data, we may be unable
to distinguish between individuals with the same or similar names. If the person is deceased,
we require some evidence of death, such as a death certificate, an obituary, or press
statement.
Agency regulations encourage requesters seeking information on living third parties
to provide a signed affidavit or declaration from the third parties waiving all or some of their
privacy rights. We can search without this authorization, but if we locate responsive records,
privacy concerns may require us to protect the information from release.
FOIA exemption (b)(6), a copy of which I have enclosed for your reference and
retention, requires us to protect information "the disclosure of which would constitute a
clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy." In reaching this determination, we use
the test our enclosed regulations outline at 32 CFR � 1900.32(b): "the Agency will balance
the privacy interests that would be compromised by disclosure against the public interest in
release of the requested information." Therefore, the waiver will assist us with this
determination.

As you know, the FOIA authorizes federal agencies to collect fees for records
services. You will note on the enclosed fee schedule that we charge search fees, including
computer time where indices are computerized, and copying costs for releasable documents.
Search fees are assessable, and you will be charged, even if our search results are negative or
if we determine that no information is releasable under the FOIA.
Based on the information provided in your letter, we determined that your request
falls into the "all other" fee category. This means that you will be required to pay charges
that recover the cost of searching for and reproducing responsive records (if any) beyond the
first 100 pages of reproduction and the first two hours of search time, which are free. Copies
are ten cents per page. We note your agreement to pay fees up to $50.00.
Before we can accept your request we must receive the biographic information,
citizenship status, privacy waiver or proof of death, and your commitment to pay fees as
described above. Meanwhile, we will hold your request in abeyance for 45 days from the
date of this letter pending receipt of your response.
Sincerely,
Enclosures
