I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived. 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, and, as they will be appropriately processed by a representative of the news media/press, this request is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage or gain at all.
