From: Shawn Musgrave
To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
-All Privacy Impact Assessments (PIA), Privacy Threshold Analysis (PTA) and Initial Privacy Assessments completed by any Justice Department entity regarding devices known as International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) catchers and/or cell site simulators, including but not limited to Harris Corporation StingRay product line, as well as the Digital Receiver Technology DRTbox/"dirtbox" product line.
-All supporting documentation submitted along with the above documentation, particularly the separate application(s) for proposed redactions required to be submitted under the 2012 OPCL PIA guidance.
-All materials from the OPCL determination regarding the need for a PIA for the above technologies.
Given that this FOIA is submitted in my capacity as a journalist who has covered federal law enforcement extensively, I request that I be categorized as a media requester for the purpose of fees. Here is a selection of my published articles on MuckRock:
I have also been published in a number of other national media outlets on topics regarding federal law enforcement:

As 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 pertains to a matter of considerable public interest, I further request a full waiver of all fees.
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
