I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by the recommendations of the Massachusetts Supervisor of Public Records. 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.

I expect the request to be filled in an accessible format, including for screen readers, which provide text-to-speech for persons unable to read print. Files that are not accessible to screen readers include, for example, .pdf image files as well as physical documents.

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 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Hello,

I realize that I have made a typo in my request. The first part of the request reads:

"Number of individuals who are not employed by the BRIC or a contractor who are authorized by the PM-ISE to access the Commonwealth Fusion Center's (CFC) Criminal Intelligence system and all other intelligence systems, such as those that house information not based on "reasonable suspicion"."

The word 'BRIC' should say 'CFC' as in Commonwealth Fusion Center. I hope this is an easy fix and doesn't lead to any more confusion.

Sincerely,

Evan Anderson
