DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY OFFICE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT TO THE SECRETARY 9301 CHAPEK ROAD FORT BELVOIR 22060-5527 REPLY TO ATTENTION OF 23 January 2014 CHIEF ATTORNEY & LEGAL SERVICES Emailed This letter is in response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request dated 28 December 2013 in which you requested a listing of the U.S. Army components FOIA contacts. Your request was assigned our FOIA number FA-14-0120. We are releasing the requested list with partial redactions. The redactions of these documents have been made for the following reason: Exemption 6 of the FOIA 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6) Exemption (b)(6) of the FOIA protects from mandatory disclosure "personnel and medical files the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of privacy." 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6) (2011). To qualify for protection under Exemption (b)(6), records must meet two criteria: (1) they must be "personnel and medical files and similar files," (2) the disclosure of which "would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy." Id.; United States Dep't of State v. Washington Post Co., 456 U.S. 595, 599-603 (1982). The first prong is met if the information "appl[ies] to a particular individual" and is "personal" in nature. New York Times Co. v. NASA, 852 F.2d 602, 606 (D.C. Cir. 1988). The second prong requires courts to strike a "balance between the protection of an individual's right to privacy and the preservation of the public's right to government information." United States Dep't of State v. Washington Post Co., 456 U.S. 595, 599 (1982). The "public interest" in the analysis is limited to the "core purpose" for which Congress enacted the FOIA: to "shed ... light on an agency's performance of its statutory duties." United States Dep't of Justice v. Reporters Comm. for Freedom of the Press, 489 U.S. 749, 773 (1989). We are withholding the names and email addresses of government employees under Exemption (b)(6) to protect personal privacy. See Judicial Watch, Inc. v. United States, No. 03- 1160, 2004 WL 26736, at *4 (4th Cir. Jan. 6, 2004). Under the Exemption (b)(6) balancing test, the Supreme Court held in a similar case that disclosure of employee addresses "would not appreciably further the citizens' right to be informed about what their Government is up to and, Printed on $ Recycled Paper - 2 - indeed, would reveal little or nothing about the employing agencies or their activities." United States Dep't of Defense v. Fed. Labor Relations Auth., 510 U.S. 487 (1994). The same is true here. Disclosure of the names and email addresses of government employees would contribute little to the public's understanding of government activities. By contrast, such disclosure would constitute a "non-trivial" and "not insubstantial" invasion of government employees' privacy interests. Id. at 500, 501. Furthermore, Department of Defense policy following September 11, 2001, allows the withholding of the names and room numbers of government employees "because of a heightened interest in the personal privacy of DoD personnel that is concurrent with the increased security awareness demanded in times of national emergency." Memorandum from D.O. Cooke, Director of Administration & Management, Office of the Secretary of Defense, Re: Withholding of Personally Identifying Information Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (Nov. 9, 2001), available at http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/pdi/pc/docs/Withholding_Info_that_IDs_DoD _ Personnel_-_Sept_2005.pdf. As such, the names of government employees and their e-mail addresses are withheld under Exemption (b )(6). This partial denial is carried out as the representative of the FOIA Initial Denial Authority (IDA). The Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Army delegated IDA under the FOIA to the Chief Attorney, to act for the Secretary of the Army on requests for records maintained by the Office of the Secretary of the Army and its serviced activities. If you desire a formal determination by the IDA, write to me and I will present the matter to him for his consideration. Please submit your request addressed to the Chief Attorney & Legal Services, Office of the Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Army, 9301 Chapek Road, Fort Belvoir, VA 22060-5527, within sixty (60) days of the date of this letter. In any such request, you should also provide a justification. If you have any questions regarding this letter or the information furnished, please contact me at (703) 545-9139 or email at [email protected] and refer to FOIA identification number FA-14-0120.
