To Whom It May Concern:

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

A copy of any objections to agency data gathering practices received by
this agency from telecommunications and web service providers. Please limit
this request to objection received between 2008 and the date that this
request is processed.

Please include objections to both classified and unclassified data
gathering programs, redacting or omitting portions of complaints that
include properly classified information while including the substance of
the objections touching on non-operational details.

Please include informal and informal complaints, as well as contacts by
corporate legal advisors seeking the cessation, restriction, adjustment, or
other modifications of such programs.

Please include, but do not limit this request, to the following companies:

Yahoo!
Google
Microsoft
Research in Motion
Skype/eBay
Time Warner
Verizon
AT&T

For complaints or protests that are classified, please perform a mandatory
declassification review (MDR) of these complaints.

Please note that these types of complaints, redacted of operational
details, were recently ruled releasable:

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this
request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made
available to the general public free of charge as part of the public
information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the
news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for
commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would
inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would
prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available
or CD-ROM if not.

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.
