records exempt from mandatory disclosure; to deny a fee category claim 
by a requester; to deny a request for expedited processing due to 
demonstrated compelling need; to deny or grant a request for waiver or 
reduction of fees when the information sought relates to matters within 
their respective geographical areas of responsibility or chain of

were located in response to a request. IDAs may also grant access to 
requests.
