RE: Account Number _____________ used to identify and maintain your system of records.
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION/PRIVACY ACT (PA) REQUEST

Dear Sir:
This is a request under the FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT at 5 U.S.C. 552, PRIVACY ACT at 5 U.S.C. 552a and INTERNAL REVENUE CODE at 26 U.S.C. 6103 and 6110. This request does not fall under exception 26 U.S.C. 6103(e)(7). These documents are not sought for any commercial purposes. This is my firm promise to pay fees and costs for locating and duplicating the records requested below, ultimately determined in accordance with 26 CFR 601.702(f).
Understanding that most exemptions are discretionary, rather than mandatory, if for some reason you make the legal determination that any portion of this request to be exempt from release, please furnish the following: (1) those portions reasonably segregable after the exempt material is deleted; (b) ) detailed, Signed justification for your discretionary exemption, since the overriding objective of the FOIA is to maximize public access to agency records. Please provide your full legal name and employee number in your signed justification report. See IRM [1.3]13.7.1 (08-31-2000) Approach to Exemptions, and; (c) provide the name of the official and correct address to whom an administrative appeal should be addressed.
I am requesting copies of records in lieu of personal inspection of the requested records.
I am attesting under the penalty of perjury under the laws of the united States of America 28 U.S.C. 1746(1) and from without the "United States", that I am a category 5 CFR 294.103(d) requester. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(6)(A)(i), you have no more than 20 days to respond to this request. No certification of records is required (see IRM 11.3.6).
Records Request In one fashion or another, I have received correspondence from or have otherwise had direct contact with each Internal Revenue Service officer or agent named below. Per FEDERAL CROP INSURANCE CORP. v. MERRILL ET AL., (1947) 332 U.S. 380; 68 S. Ct. 1; 92 L. Ed. 10, at 384, “Whatever the form in which the Government functions, anyone entering into an arrangement with the Government takes the risk of having accurately ascertained that he who purports to act for the Government stays within the bounds of his authority. The scope of this authority may be explicitly defined by Congress or be limited by delegated legislation, properly exercised through the rule-making power. And this is so even though, as here, the agent himself may have been unaware of the limitations upon his authority. See, e. g., Utah Power & Light Co. v. United States, 243 U.S. 389, 409; United States v. Stewart, 311 U.S. 60, 70, and see, generally, The Floyd Acceptances, 7 Wall. 666.” Therefore, I need to verify that IRS personnel named below are who they say they are and have authority they have exercised or are attempting are attempting to exercise. The request is for information regarding the following IRS personnel:

5. Provide the personal affidavit in which officer, agent or employee named above declared that he or she did not pay for or otherwise make or promise consideration to secure the office (5 U.S.C. § 3332), assuming the affidavit is different than the Form 61 oath.

Respectfully submitted,
