To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
1) All public comments, and supporting documents, submitted to NIST as of the date this request is processed in response to NIST's "Proposal for Identifying and Managing Bias in Artificial Intelligence" (can be found here: https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.1270-draft.pdf).
I ask that all fees be waived as I am a journalist (evidence of my work for multiple outlets can be found at toddfeathers.com) and intend to use the requested records to publish articles in the public interest about the workings of government. In the event you choose to impose fees, I request a detailed breakdown of the fees, including the hourly wage of each employ involved and an explanation justifying the employee hours required to fulfill the request.
Should you choose to reject this request or redact portions of it, I ask that you provide a detailed breakdown of the statutory exemptions and associated case law underlying your decision to withhold each/any portions from public review.
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 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.
Sincerely,
Todd Feathers
