Decision List No.65--Week of December 22 through December 26, 1997
Appeals
Homesteaders Association of the Pajarito Plateau, 12/22/97 VFA-0357
The Homesteaders Association of the Pajarito Plateau (HAPP)
Appealed a determination issued to it by the Albuquerque Operations
Office (AO). In its Appeal, HAPP asserted that AO failed to conduct an
adequate search for documents concerning the transfer of DOE land and
had improperly withheld information in six documents pursuant to
Exemption 5 of the FOIA. The DOE determined that responsive documents
may exist at the DOE's Los Alamos facility and it remanded the matter
to AO for a search of that facility. The DOE also found that the six
documents withheld in part contain segregable factual material which
can not be withheld under Exemption 5 and remanded the matter to AO to
release the material or to provide another determination explaining why
the material should be withheld. Additionally, one of the documents
contained a draft plan created by a local state governmental entity.
The DOE remanded this matter to AO so that it could issue a new
determination explaining how Exemption 5 could apply to that portion of
the document. Consequently, HAPP's Appeal was granted in part.
Rural Alliance for Military Accountability, 12/22/97 VFA-0357
The Rural Alliance for Military Accountability (RAMA) Appealed a
determination issued to it by the Rocky Flats Field Office (RF). The
DOE determined that there was no merit to RAMA's assertion that RF
failed to conduct an adequate search for documents concerning the
transportation of hazardous materials. Consequently, RAMA's Appeal was
denied.
