Freedom of Information Act Requests 

for Photographs and Videos Collected 

by the National Institute of Standards 

and Technology for Its Investigation 

Into the Failures of the World Trade 

Center Buildings 

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards 

and Technology, Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Photographers whose 

photographs and videos were provided 

to NIST for use in its investigation into 

the failures of World Trade Center 

(WTC) Buildings 1, 2 and 7 must 

provide NIST with a written response 

explaining how disclosure of their 

images would likely cause substantial 

competitive harm to their competitive 

position and/or impair the 

Government’s ability to obtain similar 

information in the future if you believe 

that some or all of the images you 

submitted to NIST should be withheld 

in response to requests received by 

NIST under the Freedom of Information 

Act. 

DATES: All written responses must be 

received by NIST by c.o.b., August 24, 

2009. 

ADDRESSES: All written responses must 

be sent to NIST Freedom of Information 

Act Officer, 100 Bureau Drive, Mail Stop 

1710, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899– 

1710 or by e-mail to 

Catherine.fletcher@nist.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

NIST FOIA Officer by telephone at (301) 

975–4074, or by e-mail at 

Catherine.fletcher@nist.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology (NIST) has received 

requests made under the Federal 

Freedom of Information Act (Title 5 

U.S.C. 552) (FOIA) for the photographs 

and videos NIST collected as part of its 

investigation of the collapse of the 

World Trade Center Towers (Buildings 

1 and 2) and World Trade Center 

Building 7. The FOIA requests are 

located at: http://wtc.nist.gov/FOIA/ 

FOIArequests09_15_42_63_88.pdf. 

During the course of its investigation 

NIST received thousands of 

photographic and video images from 

hundreds of photographers. 

Under the FOIA, the Government is 

required to release to a requester copies 

of documents it maintains that are not 

otherwise protected by an exemption to 

the FOIA. One particular exemption, 

exemption (b)(4), protects from 

disclosure any records, or portions 

thereof, which contain ‘‘trade secrets 

and commercial or financial information 

obtained from a person and privileged 

or confidential.’’ 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4). 

If you submitted photographic or 

video images to NIST for its World 

Trade Center investigation and if you 

believe that some or all of the images 

should be withheld, you must notify 

NIST in writing within ten (10) working 

days (i.e., excluding Saturday, Sunday, 

and legal public holidays) from the date 

of publication of this Federal Register 

notice. Your written response must 

specifically identify which images you 

submitted to NIST for which you are 

asserting privilege under exemption 

(b)(4). You should include copies of 

your images with your written response 

to help identify your images. If you do 

not positively identify your image(s), 

your written response will not be 

considered. Your written response must 

indicate that you are responding to this 

Federal Register notice. Your written 

response must explain why the images 

are commercial or financial information 

that is privileged or confidential. In 

order to protect information under 

exemption (b)(4), your written response 

must explain, in detail, how disclosure 

of your images would likely cause 

substantial harm to your competitive 

position and/or how disclosure of your 

images will impair the Government’s 

ability to obtain similar information in 

the future. A conclusory statement, to 

the effect that the information is 

confidential because releasing it could 

cause substantial competitive harm, will 

not suffice. Your written response must 

include your full name and complete 

address. You may notify the NIST FOIA 

Officer of your position by sending an 

e-mail to Catherine.fletcher@nist.gov or 

by mailing a letter to: NIST Freedom of 

Information Act Officer, 100 Bureau 

Drive, Mail Stop 1710, Gaithersburg, 

Maryland 20899–1710. 

NIST does not have current contact 

information for all of the photographers 

whose images were submitted for the 

NIST WTC Investigation. If you know a 

photographer whose images were 

submitted to NIST, please notify them of 

this notice. 

FOIA lawsuits were filed for these 

records on May 28, 2009 and June 15, 

2009. Therefore, time is of the essence 

in processing this request. If we do not 

receive a response from you within 10 

working days from the date of 

publication of this Federal Register 

notice, your images might be released to 

the FOIA requester.
