To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Reports of investigation for the following Office of Inspector General cases:
OI-GA-14-0021-I
OI-HQ-15-0139-R
OI-HQ-15-0659-G
OI-HQ-16-0534-R
OI-HQ-16-0535-R
OI-HQ-17-0571-G
OI-OG-15-0484-I
IO-OG-19-0688-I
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
As a freelance journalist, I expect to be placed in your news media category. As evidence of my publication record, here are links to some of my stories:

https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2018/02/wildlife-watch-sea-cucumbers-illegal-wildlife-trade-coral-reefs/
Furthermore, I request a fee waver on the grounds that these reports are likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations of the government — i.e., how the government polices fraud, abuse, and waste of publicly-owned resources.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request.
I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Maraya Cornell
From: U.S. Department of the Interior Office of Inspector General
