It is estimated that it would take approximately 120 hours to search for all responsive records. Billable search and review costs at $23 per quarter hour would be $10,856.00. Based on this information, it is estimated that the overall fee to process your request will equal approximately $10,856.00.
Please confirm, in writing, your willingness to pay the total estimated processing fee of $10,856.00. Please send your written confirmation directly to this office within 30 days from the date of this letter.
