Re: FEMA 10-218

Dear Mr. Heimlich:

This letter pertains to your January 20, 2010, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency. You
requested information regarding all correspondence exchanged between representatives of the
Save-A-Life Foundation (Schiller Park, IL) from January 1, 2007 to the present.

By a letter dated March 19, 2010, we advised you of the estimated fee of $410.00 for processing
your FOIA request. Because the estimated fee exceeded $250.00, we required an advance
payment of the estimated fee for us to continue processing your request. See 6 C.F.R. § 5.1 l(i).
We also advised you in that letter that if payment was not received within 14 business days, we
would consider your request withdrawn. To date, we have not received your payment. As a
result, we are administratively closing this case.

Additionally, please be advised that because we have not received a payment of $410.00, we will
not process any future requests you submit to this office. See 6 C.F.R. § 5.11(1). Moreover, in
accordance with 6 C.F.R. § 5.11(g), we may charge interest on any unpaid bill starting on the 31 st
day following the date of this letter. Interest charges will be assessed at the rate provided in 31
U.S.C. § 3717 and will accrue from the date of the billing, in this case March 19, 2010, until
payment is received by FEMA. FEMA shall follow the provisions of the Debt Collection Act of
1982 (Pub. L. 97-365, 96 Stat. 1749), as amended, and its administrative procedures, including
the use of consumer reporting agencies, collection agencies, and offset.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss this matter, please feel free to contact this
office at (202) 646-3323 or electronically at FEMA-FOIA@dhs.gov, and refer to FEMA 10-218.

Sincerely,

Dr. Anthony M. Bennett
