To Whom It May Concern:
You are receiving this correspondence as a request under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. subsection 552. I am requesting the following:
All records relating to John W. DeCamp (July 6, 1941 – July 27, 2017). Mr. DeCamp served as a state senator in the Nebraska Legislature, representing the 40th District, from 1971 to 1987. He also acted as an attorney on behalf of the Militia of Montana in the 1990s. You will find as an attachment a copy of Mr. DeCamp's obituary from The Lincoln Journal-Star, out of Lincoln, Nebraska, first reported on August 1, 2017.
Please conduct a search of the Central Records System, including but not limited to the Electronic Surveillance (ELSUR) Indices, the Microphone Surveillance (MISUR) Indices, the Physical Surveillance (FISUR) Indices, and the Technical Surveillance (TESUR) Indices, for both main-file records and cross-reference records.
I am a member of the news media, and I am asking you waive any fees associated with this request. I have previously written for Philly Voice and Atlas Obscura. Please take note of the Office of Management and Budget guidelines published March 27, 1987 (52 FR 10012) that include electronic publications and other nontraditional publishers as representatives of the news media.
This request is not being made for commercial purposes. All documents will be provided to the general public without charge.
In the event that there are fees, I am willing to pay up to $250. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
I look forward to your response within 20 working days, as the statute requires. If access to the records I am requesting will take longer, please contact me with information about when I might expect copies or the ability to inspect the requested records.
If you deny any or all of this request, please cite each specific exemption you feel justifies the refusal to release the information and notify me of the appeal procedures available to me under the law.
Sincerely,
Robert Skvarla, Jr.

Good morning Mr. Skvarla,
We're contacting you about the FOIPA request above. The FBI located approximately 2007 pages potentially responsive to your request. In your request, you agreed to pay $250 for processing.
Requests are processed in the order in which they are received through our multi-track processing system:
Small track requests (0- 50 pages) current average time is approximately 5 months to complete;
Medium track requests (51-950 pages) current average time is approximately 31 months to complete;
Large track requests (951-8000 pages) current average time is approximately 66 months to complete; and
Extra-large track requests (over 8000 pages) current average time is approximately 79 months to complete.
The current average time to complete your large track request is at least 66 months. Reducing the scope of your request may accelerate the processing, allow for a timelier receipt of the information you seek, and reduce the duplication costs, if applicable. If you would like to receive material the soonest, you may wish to reduce the request to no more than 50 pages to place it in the small track. If your timeline allows, you may also wish to consider reducing to the medium track (up to 950 pages). You would be welcome to make a new request for additional information once your negotiated request has been completed, subject to applicable fees.
Please let us know if you would like to move forward with reducing the scope of your request.
Best regards,
Negotiation Team
