In the event that there are fees, 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.

Please redact any information that is required to remain confidential, such as the name of involved parties, if not redacting that information would cause the request to be denied in whole or in part.
