DOI case management system (Department of Interior, Office of the Secretary)

Dear FOIA Officer:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

All correspondence, including emails, spanning the period from July 9, 2017 through June 12, 2019, regarding the Bureau of Land Management's LEMIS-IMARS law enforcement case management system, in which Law Enforcement Director William Woody is the sender or recipient, or is copied.

As a freelance journalist, I expect to be placed in your news media category. In making this request, I am gathering information of potential interest to the public for dissemination to the public. As evidence of my publication record, here are some links to my stories:
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2018/11/zoos-protect-animals-fire-disaster/
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2018/11/how-california-fire-catastrophe-unfolded/
https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2018/02/wildlife-watch-sea-cucumbers-illegal-wildlife-trade-coral-reefs/

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

Furthermore, I request a fee waver on the grounds that this information is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations of the government — i.e., the status of the Interior's department-wide law enforcement database.

If you deny my fee waver, I am willing to pay up to $25 for the processing of this request. I would be grateful if you would inform me if the estimated fees will exceed this limit before processing my request.

Thank you in advance for your time.

I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Maraya Cornell

Dear FOIA Officer,

I'm writing to withdraw this request, which was originally sent to the Office of Inspector General and forwarded to your office, since it is identical to another request, originally sent to the BLM on August 31, 2019, and assigned control #2020-00030.

Regards,
Maraya
