To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
The final report from the Booz Allen & Hamilton (BAH)'s independent cost benefit analysis of FIPS.
This BAH analysis is mentioned in a IMC case study document:
"Booz Allen & Hamilton (BAH) conducted an independent cost benefit analysis of FIPS and cited both a positive NPV and a positive ROI, as well as showing a 42.9% efficiency savings when DHS usedFIPS to convert from manual processes."
A copy of that IMC case study is available here: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.kevric.com/DL/cs-foia.pdf
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

At the end of the case study, readers are directed to contact: Casestudysolutions@imc.com<mailto:Casestudysolutions@imc.com> Perhaps they can assist you in locating a copy of the requested report.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.
