Receipt is acknowledged. Are you a commercial requester or an
educational institute?

Commercial Requester – Any person making a FOIA request that requests
information for a use or a purpose that furthers a commercial, trade, or
profit interest, which can include furthering those interests through
litigation.
Educational Requester – Any person making a FOIA request authorized by,
and is made under the auspices of, a qualifying institution, and that
the records are not sought for a commercial use, but rather are sought
to further scholarly research. Please note, records requested for the
intention of fulfilling credit requirements are not considered to be
sought for a scholarly purpose.
Fee Waiver - Please show that the disclosure of the requested
information is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute
significantly to public understanding of the operations and activities
of the government and is not primarily in the commercial interest of the
requester.

Thanks and please respond.

Thanks for your help.

The first link includes the annual reports for 1998 through 2008, but nothing since. The second link does not appear to have the annual reports for 2009 on, either.

I'm looking for those non-posted reports.

Thanks!
