EIV termination reports [HUD]

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

1) A copy of the Enterprise Investment Verification (EIV) system's state level "Debts Owed to PHA's & Terminations Report" for Massachusetts. A description of how to perform the EIV search to access this report is available in Section 4.1.3.4.2 of the EIV user manual (https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id=eivsystemmanual.pdf). As the manual describes, the state level "Debts Owed to PHA's & Terminations Report" should include breakdowns of statistics for each public housing authority (PHA) within the state.

2) Copies of the EIV system's PHA level "Debts Owed to PHA's & Terminations Report" for the Lowell, Dracut, Tyngsboro, Tewksbury, Billerica, Chelmsford, Westford, and Wilmington housing authorities (all in Massachusetts). A description of how to perform the EIV search to access this report is available in Section 4.1.3.4.5 of the EIV user manual (https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id=eivsystemmanual.pdf). In the event that the report contains identifying information about an individual, such as a partial social security number or name, I acknowledge that said information must be redacted. It should be noted that statutory and and case public records law in Massachusetts dictates that the presence of exempt information in a public record does not necessitate the withholding of the entire record. Agencies are required to redact exempt information and provide the rest of the releasable record.

I also ask that all fees be waived as I am a journalist employed by the Lowell Sun and I intend to use the requested records to publish articles in the public interest and not for any commercial purposes. I would be happy to discuss my request at any time, and can be reached at 978-970-4650.

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,

Todd Feathers
