| Case Description | Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility submitted two FOIA requests to the U.S. Forest Service. The first request was for records concerning incidences of violence against agency employees in 2013. The second request was for records concerning the non-law enforcement use of U.S. Forest Service Law Enforcement & Investigations personnel. PEER asked for a fee waiver for both requests. The agency acknowledged receipt of both requests. It asked for further information justifying the fee waiver request for PEER's first request, but did not contact PEER concerning the second request. After hearing nothing further from the agency on either request, PEER filed suit.
