Mr. Joshua E. Ostergaard
Reference: F-2010-01319
Dear Mr. Ostergaard:
On 10 June 2010, the office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator received
your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request dated 3 June 2010 for information or
records on Harry A Bruno (1893-1978). We assigned your request the above reference
number; please cite this number when corresponding about this request.
To conduct an effective search of our files for information on an individual, we need
as much information as possible. You have provided most of the required information, but
we also need your subject's citizenship status. If Mr. Bruno was a naturalized U.S. citizen or
a legal permanent resident (LPR), we ask you to provide the naturalization or LPR number
and the date the status was acquired. Without these we may be unable to distinguish between
individuals with the same or similar names.
As you know, the FOIA authorizes federal agencies to collect fees for records
services. We have enclosed a copy of our fee schedule for your retention. Based on the
information provided in your letter, we determined that your request falls into the
"educational" fee category, which means that the only charge you will be required to pay is
the cost of reproducing responsive records (if any) beyond 100 pages of reproduction.
Copies are ten cents per page.
I must consider your request for a waiver of all fees under the standards the Agency
FOIA regulations outline, which you will find at Part 1900 of Title 32 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR). I have reviewed your request under those standards and determined that
your petition does not meet them because disclosing the information you seek is not likely to
contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations and activities of the United
States Government. I therefore deny your request for a fee waiver.

Approved for Release: 2021/11/10 C05547631
You may appeal this decision, in my care, within 45 days from the date of this letter.
Should you choose to appeal the denial of your request for a fee waiver, you are encouraged
to provide an explanation supporting your appeal. Agency regulations also specify that if the
Agency has started to process a request, the Agency may only accept an appeal of a fee
waiver denial if the requester agrees to be responsible for the costs in the event of an adverse
administrative or judicial decision.
We note that you are willing pay fees up to $50.00. We do not anticipate fees will
exceed that amount. However, before we can accept your request we will need your
commitment to pay copying costs as described above, as well as your subject's citizenship
status. Meanwhile, we will hold your request in suspense for 45 days from the date of this
letter pending receipt of your response.
Sincerely,
Delores M. Nelson
Information and Privacy Coordinator
