Decision List No. 109, Week of October 26 through October 30, 1998
Appeals
Tod N. Rockefeller, 10/28/98, VFA-0447
Tod N. Rockefeller (Rockefeller), through his attorney, requested
documents from DOE's Albuquerque Operations Office (AL) under the FOIA,
and also asked that AL waive all fees. AL denied the request for a fee
waiver, stating that the disclosure of the information was not in the
public interest and that the request, since it was made by an attorney,
was made for the attorney's commercial interest. Because Rockefeller
had not shown an ability to disseminate the information to the public,
the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) concluded that the request was
not in the public interest. However, OHA also noted that there was no
evidence that the request was made for the attorney's commercial
interest. Accordingly, the Appeal was denied.
Personnel Security Hearing
Personel Security Hearing, 10/29/98, VSO-0209
An Office of Hearings and Appeals Hearing Officer issued an opinion
against restoration of the security clearance of an individual whose
clearance had been suspended because the Department had obtained
derogatory information that fell within 10 C.F.R. 710.8(k) & (1). In
reaching his conclusion, the Hearing Officer found that the individual
had failed to make a showing of mitigating facts and circumstances
sufficient to overcome DOE's security concerns.
