FTC-Rockefeller communications re: FOIA reform bill

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

All communications — including emails, memos and reports — regarding the FOIA Improvement Act (S.2520) or related bill FOIA Oversight and Implementation Act of 2014 (FOIA Act, H.R. 1211)that were exchanged with or sent to Senator Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia and his staff.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Shawn Musgrave

Ms. Bartek —

I am not requesting correspondence to a particular individual, but rather I have described the circumstances which led to the creation of the requested documents.

That is, your FOIA staff is to use its expertise and familiarity with FCC structure to determine which staff within the FCC were most likely to correspond with the Senator regarding the bill in question.

Furthermore, depending on how FCC emails are organized, it may be unnecessary to search based on recipient at all. Again, my request is not limited to emails, but for this portion of my request, a recipient may not need to be indicated.

Please let me know if I can clarify further.

Best,
Shawn Musgrave
