To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a journalist working for the Investigative Reporting Program (henceforth “IRP”), a nonprofit news organization associated with University of California, Berkeley. I am requesting records under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act. 5 U.S.C.§ 552.
I request reports and investigatory materials (HAZREP or JAGMAN) into the hard landing that occurred on April 6, 2017 in Yuma, Arizona. Here is a link to more information: https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/articles/marine-helicopter-crashes-in-arizona
IRP is both a news organization and educational institution. Under 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(A)(iii), I am entitled to a fee waiver on the grounds that disclosure of the information sought is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is not primarily in the commercial interest of the requester.
Further, in the interests of saving taxpayer funds, I would request that all data and documents be communicated electronically.
If specific portions of any documents are exempt from disclosure, please provide the non-exempt portions and please provide a statutory reason as to why those records are exempt.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
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,
Jason Paladino
