The list of nationalities eligible for placement in the FERM program as of the date the agency performs the search for responsive documents. [...] I have considered the following factors in my evaluation of your request for a fee waiver: (1) Whether the subject of the requested records concerns “the operations or activities of the government”; (2) Whether the disclosure is “likely to contribute” to an understanding of government operations or activities; (3) Whether disclosure of the requested information will contribute to the understanding. [...] The restraints on migrants’ liberty and the rapid expansion of the FERM program contribute to the urgent need for details about the program’s implementation and efficiency. [...] Records responsive to the request will contribute to the public’s understanding of the role CBP plays in the operation of the FERM program. [...] Disclosure of the requested records also will significantly contribute to the public’s understanding of CBP’s role in the implementation of the FERM program.
