If you believe that you meet these criteria and would like to request a fee waiver or reduction, please provide your justification below. If you are a media or scientific/educational nonprofit requester, you are not subject to search or review fees, and get 100 pages of free duplication. Therefore, a fee waiver is likely unnecessary.
