Freedom of Information Act request, re: Cramer Fire
April 4, 2006
Kent Maxwell
Colorado Firecamp, Inc.
9008 County Road 240
Salida, CO 81201
USDA, Office of Inspector General
Room 441-E Jamie Whitten Bldg - Legal Staff
1400 Independence Avenue SW.
Washington, DC 20250-2308
On behalf of Colorado Firecamp under the Freedom of Information Act,
I am requesting access to the Report of Investigation File No. SF-899-92
which is identified in USDA OIG Audit Report 08601-42-SF as pertaining
to the 2003 Cramer Fire near North Fork, Idaho on the Salmon-Challis National
Forest.
The audit report states:
"An OIG investigative report on the 2003 Cramer Fire observed
that one of the national contract crews had 17 members, including the
crew boss, who did not speak English."
This appears to be a different and perhaps more complete investigative
report than was delivered to Congress on February 5, 2005 as required
by Public Law 107-203.
Colorado Firecamp is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, wildland firefighter school.
For the purposes of fee determination, I request classification as an
educational institution conducting scholarly research. If there are any
fees charged for copying the records, please supply the records without
informing me of the cost if the fees do not exceed $50, which I agree
to pay.
If you deny any part of this request, please cite each specific reason
that you think justifies your refusal to release the information.
Please notify me of appeal procedures available under the law. If you
have any questions processing this request, you may contact me at the
following telephone number: (719) 539-9329.
Sincerely,
Kent Maxwell
