Decision List No. 89
Appeals
Jones, Walker, Waechter, Poitevent Carrere and Denegre, 6/8/98, VFA-
0419
Jones, Walker, Waechter, Poitevent Carrre & Dengre, L.L.P.,
appealed a determination issued to it by the Federal Energy Technology
Center (FETC) in response to a Request for Information submitted under
the Freedom of Information Act. The law firm sought records of a never-
issued contract for the Mound Site Plume Treatment System at the Rocky
Flat Environmental Technology Site. FETC withheld all responsive
documents in full under the competitive harm standard of Exemption 4
because the Rocky Flats Field Office (RFFO) was in the process of
finalizing a contract for similar work. During the course of the
Appeal, the DOE determined that RFFO had issued the Mound Site Plume
Treatment System contract. Because the factual predicate for the FETC
determination no longer existed, the DOE remanded the matter for FETC
to issue a new determination.
The National Security Archive, 6/11/98, VFA-0327, VFA-0365
The National Security Archive filed Appeals from denials by the
Department of the Air Force of a request for information that it filed
under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Because the withheld
information was classified under the Atomic Energy Act, the Air Force
withheld it as the direction of the DOE under Exemption 3. The DOE
determined on appeal that the information must continue to be withheld
under Exemption 3. Accordingly, the Appeals were denied.
