Mr. John Greenewald, Jr. MAR 2 8 2016
Dear Mr. Greenewald:
This further responds to your February 12, 2016 request seeking information pertaining to unidentified flying objects or unidentified aerial phenomena or any similar term describing the topic. Reference is also made to our February 29, 2016letter.
As advised in our letter, three investigative reports responsive to your request were located. The processing of those reports has been completed. Our review of these documents reveals that they contain personal identifiers (such as names and social security numbers) of third parties, the release ofwhich would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. Accordingly, we must partially deny your request and withhold this information pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provisions 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6) and (b)(7)(C). All releasable information is provided to you at enclosure (1). We have also provided an enclosure explaining the various exemptions of the FOIA.
As the official responsible for the partial denial of your request, I am advising you of your right to appeal this determination. Your appeal must be postmarked within 60 calendar days from the date of this letter and should be addressed to the Secretary of the Navy's designee: Office of the Judge Advocate General, (Code 14), 1322 Patterson Avenue, S.E., Suite 3000, Washington Navy Yard, D.C. 20374-5066. The envelope and letter must bear the annotation "FOIA Appeal". A copy of your initial request and a copy of this partial denial letter must accompany the appeal.
There are no assessable fees associated with the processing of your request.
Sincerely, /L ~0 KAREN RICHMAN CDR(S), JAGC, USN End: ( 1) Documents CIS
