I received another email update regarding my freedom of information request about obtaining copies of Bob Lazar's paystubs. Here is email update I received today:
"Dear Mr. Done,
We received your 01 January 2025, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request 2025-02029-F on 15 January 2025. On 15 January and 23 January 2025, you were asked for clarification. We received your clarification, which seeks the following:
“I am amending my request to the following:
I am requesting copies of pay stubs that Robert Scott Lazar would have received as a contractor at the Nevada Test and Training Range during 1988 and 1989. Robert Scott Lazar was born January 26, 1959. (Date Range for Record Search: From 01/01/1988 To 12/31/1989)”
Our organization has a significant number of pending FOIA requests. Therefore, we implemented a multi-track processing for requests. Based on the information you have requested; we placed your request in the Simple track. We estimate a response to your request will be provided within 20 days. Our policy is to process requests within their respective tracks in the order in which we receive them.
FOIA requests are processed as quickly as possible. We will advise you if we cannot provide a response within the FOIA statutory timeline.
The FOIA Fee Restriction prevents DoD Components from charging commercial or “other” requesters search fees, or representatives of the news media or educational requesters duplication fees if respond do not occur within 20 or 30 working days for unusual circumstances (documents not located with the office processing the FOIA request, the responsive records are voluminous or required consultation with another agency). Fee restrictions do not apply if responsive records total more than 5,000 pages, and this office has made three or more good faith attempts to discuss with you, how to effectively limit the scope of your request.
We have placed you in the “Educational or Noncommercial Scientific Institution or News Media” fee category for processing. Under this category, you may be charged for all duplication (paper) costs. The first 100 pages of duplication are furnished without charge.
Direct questions to s533c5@us.af.mil or call (661) 277-2268 and reference FOIA case number 2025-02029-F.
Sincerely,
//SIGNED//
ROSE LLANES, Civ, DAF
Freedom of Information Act Manager"
