From: Runa A. Sandvik
To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
Copies of contracts with the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), invoices and drawdown requests from the Institute to the agency, and any reports generated and delivered by the Institute to the agency over the past 5 years.
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. I am a published independent reporter and a current contributor to Forbes (http://www.forbes.com/sites/runasandvik/). I have also had my journalism published on domestic and international blogs.
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,
Runa A. Sandvik

Dear Mr. Sandvick:
DARPA, the searching component for this FOIA request, has advised us of the following: 1) DARPA cannot search for contract information on a specific research branch/section/laboratory of a university and 2) Most DARPA contracts are administered by contracting agents that have cognizance over the release of their information. For this request, they are able to search for contracts with Carnegie Mellon University but cannot isolate contracts with the National Robotics Center (NREC).
After conducting intensive manual reviews, responsive records were identified. One of those records is already cleared for public release. However the remaining documents will require more time due to submitter notice and a DARPA technical review. DARPA provided an estimated date of completion of April 2017.
For this reason, we wanted to provide you the opportunity to get the public release document more quickly and forego the remaining documents requiring submitter and technical reviews prior to its release. Please let us know if you wish to receive only the current publicly releasable document.
