PlaintiffASSASSINATION ARCHIVES AND RESEARCH CENTER
Case DescriptionThe Assassination Archives and Research Center submitted a FOIA request to the FBI for seven boxes of indices of pre-1960 electronic surveillance records that the agency had publicly acknowledged in a 2009 court affidavit. AARC requested inclusion in the news media fee category and a fee waiver. The agency acknowledged receipt of the request and denied AARC's request for new media fee status and a fee waiver. The agency told AARC that it had identified 18,000 pages of potentially responsive records, but that 5,000 pages were dated after 1960. The FBI told AARC that it would need to commit to $540 in fees or reduce the scope of the request. AARC did not file an administrative appeal of the FBI's denial of their fee waiver or fee status requests. AARC later submitted three follow-up requests pertaining to the records. The agency did not resolve those requests and AARC filed suit.
