Hello - I will provide additional information to narrow my request, but in the interim, could you clarify my fee status?
Best,

From: McClay, Brian D

Mr. Lavigne,

You have asked for clarification on your fee status. As stated in our Acknowledgment letter that was mailed on April 2, 2015, you are placed in a commercial use fee category based on the fact that your organization charges a monetary fee to file a FOIA request. Therefore, you do not meet the necessary requirements for a fee waiver.

Sincerely,

Brian McClay
