U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration 8/17/2017 Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) Log Searched for: Fiscal year request opened on 2016 CONTROL DATE REQUESTER REQUESTING STATUS SUBJECT NUMBER RECEIVED LAST NAME FIRM 2016-0001 CLOSE 10/1/2015 Anderson WRDW News Fee benefit requested Fee waiver 12 requested Expedited processing requested Dear FOIA Officer I request access to and copies of documents pertaining to weight violations for commercial vehicles in Georgia and South Carolina from 2010 to October of 2015. I would like to receive the information in electronic format. As a representative of the news media I am only required to pay for the direct cost of duplication after the first 100 pages. Through this request, I am gathering information on the number of cited andor documented overweight vehicles on Georgia and South Carolina roads that is of current interest to the public because overweight vehicles aren't just a safety concern; they also cost taxpayers a lot of money in the form of road repairs. This information is being sought on behalf of WRDW News 12 for dissemination to the general public. Please waive any applicable fees. Release of the information is in the public interest because it will contribute significantly to public understanding of government operations and activities. If my request is denied in whole or part, I ask that you justify all deletions by reference to specific exemptions of the act. I will also expect you to release all segregable portions of otherwise exempt material. I, of course, reserve the right to appeal your decision to withhold any information or to deny a waiver of fees. As I am making this request as a journalist and this information is of timely value, I would appreciate your communicating with me by telephone, rather than by mail, if you have questions regarding this request. Please provide expedited processing of this request which concerns a matter of urgency. As a journalist, I am primarily engaged in disseminating information. After a number of deadly accidents involving tractor trailers this year, I want to see if there has been a documented increase in Page 1 U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration 8/17/2017 Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) Log Searched for: Fiscal year request opened on 2016 CONTROL DATE REQUESTER REQUESTING STATUS SUBJECT NUMBER RECEIVED LAST NAME FIRM overweight vehicles. I certify that my statements concerning the need for expedited processing are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief. I look forward to your reply within 20 business days, as the statute requires. 2016-0002 CLOSE 10/1/2015 Tate McClatchy I am writing on behalf of Newspapers McClatchy Newspapers to request a copy of the cooperative agreement between FHWA and the Southeast Kentucky Economic Development Corp. for the establishment of a regional intermodal park in Somerset, Ky., signed between 2002 and 2006. I request that the records be provided electronically and as they become available. I also request expedited processing. In the event that this request results in research or copying, McClatchy requests a public interest fee waiver because the material being sought is likely to be used in a newspaper story. We would argue strongly that there is a significant public interest in our reviewing the material being sought because disclosure of the information is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of government and is not primarily in McClatchys commercial interest. McClatchy is one of the nations largest newspaper groups with 29 publications in 14 states, reaching millions of print and online readers, and qualifies as an entity that acts primarily in the publics interest. Your office may require FOIA requesters to commit to paying fees. However, we feel strongly that a public interest fee waiver should prevail in this instance. Should this letter prompt Page 2 U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration 8/17/2017 Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) Log Searched for: Fiscal year request opened on 2016 CONTROL DATE REQUESTER REQUESTING STATUS SUBJECT NUMBER RECEIVED LAST NAME FIRM questions, please feel free to call me at the numbers below. 2016-0003 CLOSE 10/2/2015 Wuest Coats Rose Copies of correspondence and any other written information permissible for dissemination to the public regarding the history of S.
