We would prefer the documents to be made available to us on a CD or DVD if
you have them in that format, or by way of an electronic transfer through
Dropbox or another online file sharing mechanism. If any information is
excluded or redacted from your response or from any responsive documents,
we would appreciate being told on what basis it has been redacted or
excluded.
And finally, we request the waiver for any fees related to the search, review
or copying of the requested documents. Disclosure of the requested
documents to the Trust is in the public interest because it is likely to
contribute significantly to the public understanding of the Department’s
activities and procedures used in enforcing important pipeline safety
regulations. The Pipeline Safety Trust is a non-profit organization, the
mission of which is to “promote pipeline safety through education and
advocacy, by increasing access to information, and by building partnerships

safer communities and a healthier environment .” The request for this
information is for non-commercial purposes. If this fee waiver is denied,
please inform us as to the reasons for the denial.
We appreciate your prompt response. Please call me if you have any
questions about our request.
