A letter stating the requester must agree to or prepay assessed or estimated fees in order for the agency to continue processing the request.
From: Taylor S. Amarel
Thank you very much, payment will be sent shortly.
From: Taylor S. Amarel
Thank you for the email and follow up.
I wanted to clarify, according to what I have found, the statute for FOIA requests requires a response within 3 business days. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case here.
Given such, I respectfully request that the fees be waived. I understand that searching for documents takes times but the statute makes it clear that I should at least get a response acknowledging the request and the estimated time within 3 days of filing. This practice is standard for both state and federal requests and there is much case law saying agencies are unable to recover fees if a response is not given in time.
If a waiver is not eligible, is there a fee appeal process.
Thank you,
Taylor Amarel
