Freedom of Information Act Appeal

APPEAL OF A DECISION BY THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION

ACT OFFICER OF THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF

COMMERCE - NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND

TECHNOLOGY TO DENY PETITIONER A FEE WAIVER FOR

MATERIALS REQUESTED UNDER THE FREEDOM OF

INFORMATION ACT

5 U.S.C. 552

FOIA Log #07-76

September 10, 2007

As a matter of course, the Department of Justice

encourages agencies to provide a waiver of fees when both

requirements of the statutory standard are met, just as they

must deny a waiver of fees whenever one or both of those

requirements are not met. 1 The petitioners request for a

waiver of fees clearly meets both requirements of the

statutory standard.

Background


2/23

The petitioner, upon suggestion by a New York Times

reporter, requested certain data from the National Institute

of Standards and Technology (hereinafter NIST). 2 A

representative of NIST promptly responded by suggesting that

such data should be requested under the Freedom of

Information Act. 3

On August 12, 2007, the petitioner sent a request for

information to NIST based on the template provided at their

website. 4 Petitioner requested a waiver of fees associated

with the search and duplication of the responsive documents.

A fee waiver is appropriate because disclosure of the

requested information to petitioner is in the public

interest because it is likely to contribute significantly

to public understanding of the operations or activities of

the government and is not primarily in [petitioners]

commercial interest. 5

Petitioner received a timely response from Freedom of

Information Act Officer (hereinafter FIAO), Catherine S.

Fletcher, dated August 15, 2007. 6 In the response, the FIAO

denied petitioners request for a fee waiver, and stated

that petitioner would be provided with an estimate of fees

for the search and duplication of the responsive documents. 7

Petitioner exercised his right to appeal in a timely

fashion in order that the Assistant General Counsel for


3/23

Administration (Office) receives it within 30 calendar days

of the date of [the FIOAs] response letter. 8

Legal Standard

Upon a request for records, each agency shall make the

records promptly available to any person, provided that the

requester reasonably describes such records and [the

request] is made in accordance with published rules stating

the time, place, fees (if any), and procedures to be

followed. 9

In order to carry out the provisions of this section,

each agency shall promulgate regulations, pursuant to notice

and receipt of public comment, specifying the schedule of

fees applicable to the processing of requests under this

section and establishing procedures and guidelines for

determining when such fees should be waived or reduced. 10

Moreover, documents shall be furnished without any

charge or at a charge reduced below the fees established

under the statute if disclosure of the information is in the

public interest because it is likely to contribute

significantly to public understanding of the operations or

activities of the government and is not primarily in the

commercial interest of the requester. 11


4/23

Analysis

A fee waiver is appropriate in petitioners case

because disclosure of the information is in the public

interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to

public understanding of the operations or activities of the

government and is not primarily in the commercial interest

of the petitioner. 12 The request reasonably describing the

records sought is as follows:

Photographs and applicable video (in jpeg, mpeg or another format) of the south side upper and lower lobby (inside and outside) of WTC Building 7 taken throughout the day on September 11,2001. These would be the photos and video takenin the immediate vicinity of the WTC Building 7 south side upper and lower entrances.

Photographs and applicable video of the WTC Division triage area, which was active at 9:30am on September 11, 2001.http://www.dps.state.vt.us/homeland/fdnylessonslearned9-11.pdf

Photographs of the upper and lower south sidelobby areas (interior and exterior) of Building

7 after the collapse of WTC 2, then after thecollapse of WTC 1. Note that NIST described thelobby area of WTC 7 after the collapse of WTC 1as having no heavy debris with a white dustcoating. http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/June2004WTC7StructuralF ire&CollapseAnalysisPrint.pdf


5/23

Note regarding responsiveness to this request:Photographs may be redacted as necessary and stillmay be responsive to my request. Note that

photographs alone may be responsive if video isnot also available, and video alone may beresponsive if still photos (redacted or not) arenot available.

In order to help to determine my status to assessfees, you should know that I am individual seeking information for personal use and not for acommercial use.

I request a waiver of all fees for this request.Disclosure of the requested information to me isin the public interest because it is likely tocontribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the governmentand is not primarily in my commercial interest. I asked a reporter from the New York Times for copies of the responsive photographs from theTimes archives if they were available. Thereporter stated that I should request the photosfrom NIST. The photographs hold very significanthistorical value.

Thank you for your consideration of thisrequest. 13

In order to qualify for a fee waiver under the statute,

a two-prong test has been considered in deciding whether an

agency should grant such a request. 14 The first prong

concerns the public interest. And the second prong

concerns the commercial interest. 15


6/23

The public interest prong is further divided into four

distinct categories in order to properly analyze a specific

fee waiver request. So in order to examine whether

disclosure of the information is in the public interest

because it is likely to contribute significantly to public

understanding of government operations or activities 16 an

agency should examine these four factors:

(A) The subject of the request: whether the subject of

the requested records concerns the operations or

activities of the government. 17

Here the threshold test as to whether records

possessed by the agency directly concern government

operations or activities is most often met. 18 The

petitioner requests photographic and video data which

specifically concerns identifiable operations of the

federal government. 19 WTC Building 7 was the site of an

emergency triage center, where local government, the

federal government, and private entities worked together

in rescue efforts of a sort never before experienced.

They worked in conjunction and under great pressure and

likely saved many lives in the process. Additionally, 7

World Trade Center was occupied by several offices of the


7/23

federal government, which were evacuated on September 11,

2001. Clearly, these factors meet the standard for the

threshold test . 20

(B)The informative value of the information disclosed:

whether the disclosure is likely to contribute to an

understanding of government operations or activities,

which are meaningfully informative. 21

The requested unreleased photographs and video data

have innate informative and meaningful qualities. 22

September 11, 2001 was the most tragic, yet significant

day of the 21 st century. September 11 was such a shocking

event that upon close appraisal 23 the unreleased

information has great potential to contribute to an

understanding by the general public, especially since it

is not presently in the public domain. 24 So disclosure

of the data will certainly add to the public record. 25

Furthermore, petitioner has stated in the endnotes

(incorporated in this document and by reference) that

there is scant publicly available photographs and video

pertaining to the south side upper and lower lobby

(interior and close exterior) areas of 7 World Trade

Center. Furthermore, the requested data is likely to


8/23

contribute to an understanding of government operations

in and around the specific areas mentioned in

petitioners FOIA request. 26

The next consideration under the public policy prong

considers:

(C)The contribution to an understanding by the general

public of the subject likely to result from the

disclosure. 27

Here the petitioner must have the ability and

intention to disseminate this information to the

public. 28 The petitioner is an attorney and certainly

does have the requisite specialized knowledge to

extract, synthesize, and effectively convey the

information to the public. 29 Additionally, the petitioner

requested the information from NIST upon the suggestion

of a New York Times reporter, as the data was apparently

not available in the archives of the New York Times. 30

The final issue to consider under the public policy

prong of this analysis is:


9/23

(D)The significance of the contribution to public

understanding: whether the disclosure is likely to

contribute significantly to public understanding of the

government operations or activities. 31

Upon objective evaluation by the agency,

petitioners requested information (even redacted

portions and portions released which are not subject to

an exception) will significantly enhance the general

publics understanding of the governments operations and

activities. 32 The publics knowledge and understanding of

federal emergency operations on the south side of WTC 7

(Solomon Brothers Building), evacuations of federal

employees from the south side exits and lobbies of WTC 7,

corroborative activities between local, state and federal

emergency personnel in the south side area and lobbies of

WTC 7, and other federal emergency management activities

on the south side are only a few of the very important

factors to consider upon release of the requested

information. 33 Moreover, the general publics level of

understanding will be greatly enhanced compared to the

knowledge derived from presently available photographic

and video evidence. 34


10/23

Also, it is important to note that agencies are not to

make subjective judgments regarding the newsworthiness of

any requested information for which a fee waiver is

requested under this standard. 35

Now we will briefly consider the commercial interest

prong of the statute. 36 Petitioner stated in his letter to

NIST that the request for information was not primarily

in requesters commercial interest. Petitioner will

freely disseminate the requested information, and has no

commercial interest in the requested information from

that tragic day. Petitioner cannot be clearer about this

fact. Petitioner seeks neither to further a commercial

trade nor to profit from the requested data. Therefore,

this second prong is met under the statute. 37

Conclusion

It is appropriate that petitioner be granted a fee

waiver for the requested information because it has been

shown that disclosure of the information is in the

public interest because it is likely to contribute

significantly to public understanding of the operations

or activities of the government and is not primarily in


11/23

the commercial interest of the requester. Petitioner has

met the standards as set forth in 5 U.S.C. 552

(a)(4)(a)(iii) and 28 C.F.R. 16.11 (k) (1999) as

considered by the FIAO in a letter dated August 15, 2007.

Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, it monitored all

emergency services frequencies, New York State and National alert

systems, weather systems and local, national and international

news Sheirer further stated that triage was moved from the

North Tower lobby into the lobby of 7 World Trade Center, and

that representatives from SEMO and FEMA offered the full extent

responses by the federal government from 7 World Trade Center.

In the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks report, it

states the following with regard to the Office of Emergency

Managements response and contact with federal personnel: OEM

Initial Response: By 8:48, officials in OEM headquarters on the

23rd floor of 7 WTC-just to the north of the North Tower began to

activate the Emergency Operations Center by calling such agencies

as the FDNY, NYPD, Department of Health, and the Greater Hospital

Association and instructing them to send their designated

representatives to the OEM. In addition, the Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA) was called and asked to send at least

five federal Urban Search and Rescue Teams (such teams are

located throughout the United States). At approximately 8:50, a

senior representative from the OEM arrived in the lobby of the

North Tower and began to act as the OEM field responder to the

incident. He soon was joined by several other OEM officials,

including the OEM Director. Further references state: OEM

Response After the South Tower was hit--OEM senior leadership

decided to remain in its "bunker" and continue conducting

operations, even though all civilians had been evacuated from 7

WTC. At approximately 9:30, a senior OEM official ordered the

evacuation of the facility, after a Secret Service agent in 7 WTC

advised him that additional commercial planes were not accounted

for.

22 There are a very limited number of resources actually showing

the south side of WTC 7 throughout the day on September 11, 2001.

Moreover, no known interior lobby triage photos have been

released. The most widely available stills and video depict more

of a distant view of that particular structure. Since triage was

established in WTC 7, and the evacuation of federal employees

took place from that building, it is extremely important that the

general public gain an understanding of the government activities

in that vicinitya knowledge and understanding that will be

vastly enhanced by the release of the requested information. The

existing archives display scant minutes of video. For example:

See, Internet Archive , ABC Sept. 11, 2001 11:59 am - 12:41 pm (30

minute mark)(September 11, 2001) available at

similar brief video clips show a man with a backpack running into


16/23

the dust covered lower south lobby of World Trade Center Building

7. A cameraperson captured the man as he sprinted up a dormant

escalator to the upper lobby of WTC 7 and spoke to another man

waiting there.

28 See id.

29 See Markman, supra note 1. Also, petitioner was editor-in-

chief of a law school publication, at RWU School of Law, known as

The Docket . The knowledge obtained as editor-in-chief and from

the subsequent practice of law is more than enough to satisfy the

specialized knowledge aspect of the statute. Note also, that

the ability to disseminate information to the general public is

not a difficult task at present. Of course, representatives of

the news media would readily be able to satisfy this aspect of

the statutory requirement according to the Accord FOIA Update ,


17/23

Fall 1983, at 14. However, technology has changed dramatically

since 1983. Now millions of people worldwide can instantly access

data, which was initially disseminated to limited numbers of

individuals. See a supporting article from BBC News, YouTube hits100m videos per day Internet video site YouTube has said its

users are now watching more than 100 million videos per day.

(Monday, 17 July 2006) available at

( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/5186618.stm ), which

stated: YouTube said that its videos account for 60% of all

videos watched online in the US. It has almost 20 million

visitors to the site each month, according to

Nielsen/NetRatings.

Although, the New York Times and other print media may be

considered more appropriate venues for the release of the

requested data (and in fact a New York Times reporter intimated

that I ask NIST for certain information), it is inevitable that

Internet news sources and sources such as YouTube will be used to

disseminate the data to millions of the general public in a

matter of hours and days. In fact, ABC News has direct links to

YouTube and often airs its contents. See the ABC News website for

links and stories about many YouTube broadcasts available at

( http://abcnews.go.com/search?searchtext=youtube&type =) and

generally at, http://abcnews.go.com . It is evident that the

standard of ability and intention to disseminate has changed

greatly since that standard was set forth in 10 CFR

1004.9(a)(8)(i)(C)(1997).

30See Petitioner supra note 2. See also, Cf. Glen Miller, 26 DOE

80,147 at 80, 649 (1996), where the contribution to the

general public likely to result from disclosure aspect of the

statute was satisfied, when a reporter from the New York Times

stated that the documents were newsworthy. The New York Times

reporter in the present case stated the following to petitioner


18/23

in written correspondence: I don't have photographs of the

lobbyPerhaps NIST has pictures The New York Times reporter

further stated the following after an inquiry regarding criminal

conduct: You should ask NIST if what they're investigatinginvolves arson. Although, such correspondence and interest shown

by the reporter does not guarantee that New York Times editors

will find such data newsworthy, certainly such correspondence

with petitioner goes beyond a requester who intends merely to

disseminate information to the media as stated in Markman, supra

note 1. Here the petitioner has had direct contact with a member

of the print media, among others, in order to freely and

specifically disseminate the requested information for FOIA

statutory purposes.


32 See Sheirer, supra note 19, where he states that the

evacuation of 7 World Trade Center commenced at approximately

9:30, after a Secret Service agent in 7 WTC advised him [an OEM

official] that additional commercial planes were not accounted

for.

molten steel was still running. What concrete wasnt pulverized

into dust will continue to be removed for weeks to come. The

structural steel is being removed and shipped by barge to be

recycled.

Re: Freedom of Information Act Request

Dear Ms. Catherine S. Fletcher:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. Sec. 552.

I request that a copy of the following documents be provided to me:

Photographs and applicable video (in jpeg, mpeg or another format) of the south side upper andlower lobby (inside and outside) of WTC Building 7 taken throughout the day on September 11,2001. These would be the photos and video taken in the immediate vicinity of the WTC Building 7south side upper and lower entrances.

Photographs and applicable video of the WTC Division triage area, which was active at 9:30 amon September 11, 2001. http://www.dps.state.vt.us/homeland/fdnylessonslearned9-11.pdf


21/23

Photographs of the upper and lower south side lobby areas (interior and exterior) of Building 7 after the collapse of WTC 2, then after the collapse of WTC 1. Note that NIST described the lobby areaof WTC 7 after the collapse of WTC 1 as having no heavy debris with a white dust coating.http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/June2004WTC7StructuralFire&CollapseAnalysisPrint.pdf

Note regarding responsiveness to this request: Photographs may be redacted as necessaryand still may be responsive to my request. Note that photographs alone may be responsive if videowas not also available, and video alone may be responsive if still photos (redacted or not) were notavailable.

In order to help to determine my status to assess fees, you should know that I am an individual seekinginformation for personal use and not for a commercial use.

I request a waiver of all fees for this request. Disclosure of the requested information to me is in the publicinterest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is not primarily in my commercial interest. I asked a reporter from the New York Timesfor copies of the responsive photographs from the Times archives if they were available. The reporter statedthat I should request the photos from NIST. The photographs hold very significant historical value.

Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Sincerely,

/s/
