I made the exact same request in 2020 asking for the 2019 budget, using the same wording. Please refer to DOC-NIST-2021-000269. The response from NIST was essentially one line saying "RESPONSE: $6,066,924.85". The estimate at that time was that the search was behold threshold and no fees were estimated. Ultimately that was correct and no fees were required. Can you please explain why, four years later, the same search is now estimated at $560?

Thank you,

Brian Martin

Good afternoon,

You are classified as an “all other” requester since your original request included the statement “PLEASE NOTE: This request is not filed by a MuckRock staff member”. As such, chargeable services are allowed.

You were incorrectly categorized as “media” in your 2020 request.
