Appeals
BURLIN MCKINNEY, 6/18/96, VFA-0168
Burlin McKinney sought under the Freedom of Information Act
information concerning safety measures at the DOE's Y-12 plant. DOE
found that the determination issued by the Oak Ridge Operations Office
was inadequate. Accordingly, DOE remanded the matter to Oak Ridge with
instructions to correct the determination's deficiencies.
GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY PROJECT, 6/17/96, VFA-0167
The Government Accountability Project (GAP) filed an Appeal from a
FOIA determination issued to it by the Albuquerque Operations Office
denying it a waiver of fees. The DOE determined that GAP was eligible
for a fee waiver and granted GAP's Appeal.
LARSON ASSOCIATED, INC., 6/18/96, VFA-0103
Larson Associated, Inc., filed an Appeal from a denial by the
Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Operations Office (DOE/OR) of a
request for information which it had submitted under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA). Larson sought a copy of a Community Involvement
Proposal submitted to DOE/OR by Martin Marietta Corporation. DOE/OR
withheld this document in its entirety pursuant to FOIA Exemption 4. In
considering the Appeal, the DOE found that: (i) it is proper under the
standards set forth by the federal courts to process FOIA requests on a
``first-in, first-out'' basis; (ii) the Manager of DOE/OR was the
proper signatory of the determination; (iii) DOE/OR's determination
that material should be withheld under Exemption 4 because its
disclosure was likely to cause competitive harm to the submitter did
not sufficiently state the reasons for believing such harm would
result; and (iv) some portions of the documents can be released.
Accordingly, the Appeal was granted in part. The matter was
remanded to DOE/OR for a new determination that would release
information that was not protected from disclosure, and would
adequately explain the reasons for withholding exempt information.
