SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Intelligence Reform and Terrorism 

Prevention Act of 2004, Public Law 

108–458, § 1061 (2004) (IRTPA), created 

the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight 

Board (Board). IRTPA instructs the 

Board to ‘‘ensure that concerns with 

respect to privacy and civil liberties are 

appropriately considered in the 

implementation of laws, regulations, 

and executive branch policies related to 

efforts to protect the Nation against 

terrorism.’’ Id. § 1061(c)(1)(C). In 

carrying out this mandate, the Board 

exercises both an advisory and oversight 

responsibility. First, it ‘‘advise[s] the 

President and the head of any 

department or agency of the executive 

branch to ensure that privacy and civil 

liberties are appropriately considered’’ 

in the development and implementation 

of ‘‘laws, regulations, and Executive 

Branch policies related to efforts to 

protect the Nation from terrorism’’ Id. 

Second, it ‘‘continually review[s] 

regulations, executive branch policies, 

and procedures * * * and other actions 

by the executive branch related to 

efforts to protect the Nation from 

terrorism to ensure that privacy and 

civil liberties are protected.’’ Id. 

§ (c)(2)(A). IRTPA places the Board 

within the Executive Office of the 

President. 

The Board’s membership consists of a 

Chairman, Vice Chairman, and three 

regular Members. The President 

appoints all Members, with the 

Chairman and Vice Chairman requiring 

Senate confirmation. Id. § 1061(e). 

IRTPA subjects the Board to the 

Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 

552 (FOIA). IRTPA § 106(i)(2). These 

interim-final regulations provide 

procedures for individuals to request 

records from the Board and inform the

Freedom of Information Act 

§ 1000.1 Definitions. 

Agency means Agency as defined in 5 

U.S.C. 552(f)(1). The Privacy and Civil 

Liberties Oversight Board shall not be 

considered as an agency for any other 

purpose, except as referred to in this 

Regulation, and for Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA) purposes. 

Board or PCLOB means the Privacy 

and Civil Liberties Oversight Board. 

Calendar Days means all days, 

including Saturday, Sunday, or Federal 

holidays. 

Commercial Use Request refers to a 

request from or on behalf of one who 

seeks information for a use or purpose 

that furthers the commercial, trade, or 

profit interests of the requestor or the 

person on whose behalf the request is 

made. 

Compelling need means that a failure 

to obtain requested Records on an 

expedited basis under this paragraph 

could reasonably be expected to pose an 

imminent threat to the life or physical 

safety of an individual; or with respect 

to a request made by a person primarily 

engaged in disseminating information, 

an urgency to inform the public 

concerning actual or alleged Federal 

Government activity. 

Computer search means the actual 

direct cost of providing the service. This 

will include the cost of operating the 

central processing unit for that portion 

of operating time that is directly 

attributable to Searching for potentially 

responsive records to a FOIA request 

and the portion of the salary of the 

operators/programmers attributable to 

the search. 

Days means ‘‘work days’’ not 

including Saturday, Sunday, Federal 

holidays, or other days the Board is 

closed. 

Direct costs means those expenditures 

that the Board actually incurs in 

searching for and duplicating (and in 

the case of commercial requestors, 

reviewing) documents to respond to a 

FOIA request. Direct costs include, for 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with RULES
17790 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 68 / Tuesday, April 10, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

example, the salary of the employee 

performing work (the basic rate of pay 

for the employee plus 16 percent of that 

rate to cover benefits) and the cost of 

operating duplicating machinery. Not 

included in direct costs are overhead 

expenses such as costs of space and 

heating or lighting the facility in which 

the Records are stored. 

Duplication means the making of a 

copy of a document, or of the 

information contained in it, necessary to 

respond to a FOIA request. Such copies 

can take the form of paper, microform, 

audiovisual materials, or electronic 

Records (e.g., magnetic tape or disk), 

among others. 

Educational institution refers to a 

preschool, a public or private 

elementary or secondary school, an 

institution of graduate higher education, 

an institution of undergraduate higher 

education, an institution of professional 

education, or an institution of 

vocational education that operates a 

program or programs of scholarly 

research. 

FOIA means the Freedom of 

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). 

Head of the agency means the 

Chairman of the Privacy and Civil 

Liberties Oversight Board or the 

Chairman’s designee. 

Non-commercial scientific institution 

refers to an institution that is not 

operated on a commercial basis, and 

that is operated solely for the purpose 

of conducting scientific research the 

results of which are not intended to 

promote any particular product or 

industry. 

Record means a record as defined in 

5 U.S.C. 552(f)(2). A Record must exist 

and be in the Board’s custody and 

control at the time of the request to be 

considered subject to this part and 

FOIA. 

Representative of the news media 

refers to any person actively gathering 

news for an entity that is organized and 

operated to publish or broadcast news to 

the public. The term ‘‘news’’ means 

information that is about current events 

or that would be of current interest to 

the public. As traditional methods of 

news delivery evolve (e.g., electronic 

dissemination of newspapers through 

telecommunications services and Web 

sites), such media would be included in 

this category. In the case of freelance 

journalists, they may be regarded as 

working for a news organization if they 

can demonstrate a solid basis for 

expecting publication through that 

organization, even though they are not 

actually employed by it. 

Review means the process of 

examining documents located in 

response to a request that is for a 

commercial use to determine whether 

any portion of any document located is 

exempt from release or otherwise 

permitted to be withheld. It also 

includes processing any documents for 

disclosure (doing all that is necessary to 

excise them and otherwise prepare them 

for release). Review does not include 

time spent resolving general legal or 

policy issues regarding the application 

of exemptions. 

Search means the process of looking 

for and retrieving records or information 

responsive to a request. It includes pageby-page or line-by-line identification of 

information within records and also 

includes reasonable efforts to locate and 

retrieve information from Records 

maintained in electronic form or format. 

§ 1000.2 Purpose. 

These regulations describe how the 

Board implements the requirements of 

the Freedom of Information Act, 5 

U.S.C. 552 et seq., and the procedures 

by which records may be obtained from 

the Board. Official records of the Board 

made available pursuant to FOIA shall 

be furnished to members of the public 

only pursuant to statute and as 

prescribed in these regulations. 

§ 1000.3 Authority and functions of Board. 

The Board advises the President and 

other senior Executive Branch officials 

to ensure that concerns with respect to 

privacy and civil liberties are 

appropriately considered in the 

implementation of all laws, regulations, 

and Executive Branch policies related to 

efforts to protect the Nation against 

terrorism. This includes advising on 

whether adequate guidelines, 

supervision, and oversight exist to 

protect these important legal rights of all 

Americans. The Board was established 

by the Intelligence Reform and 

Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (Pub. 

L. No. 108–458). 

§ 1000.4 Other information. 

Additional information regarding the 

Board, including its members, 

organization, public statements, and 

relevant legislation, may be located on 

its Web site: http:// 

www.privacyboard.gov. 

§ 1000.5 Public reference. 

(a) The Board will make available for 

public inspection a copy of all material 

required to be made public by 5 U.S.C. 

552(a)(2), including all documents 

published by the Board in the Federal 

Register and currently in effect. This 

material will also be available on the 

Board’s Web site, http:// 

www.privacyboard.gov. 

(b) In order to view documents 

maintained pursuant to § 1000.5(a), 

members of the public should contact 

the Board at (202) 456–1240 or by e-mail 

at privacyboard@who.eop.gov. 

(c) The FOIA Officer shall also 

maintain a file open to the public, 

which shall contain copies of all grants 

or denials of appeals by the Board. 

(d) The public may contact the 

Board’s Chief FOIA Officer and the 

Public Liaison by writing to the address 

listed in § 1000.6(a) or by calling (202) 

456–1240. 

§ 1000.6 How to request records. 

(a) A request for records pursuant to 

FOIA must be submitted in writing. An 

individual may submit a request via 

mail: FOIA Officer, Privacy and Civil 

Liberties Oversight Board, The White 

House, Washington, DC 20502; or via 

fax: (202) 456–1066. To ensure prompt 

receipt, the Board recommends sending 

a request via fax, as security procedures 

may delay requests sent through the 

mail. The words ‘‘FOIA REQUEST’’

should be clearly marked on the 

envelope or cover page, as well as on 

the actual request. The request must 

contain a means of contacting the 

requestor via mail and via telephone. 

The Board does not accept FOIA 

requests by e-mail. 

(b) Each request must reasonably 

describe the record(s) sought, including 

when known: The organization or 

individual originating the Record; 

subject matter; type of record; location; 

and any other pertinent information 

which would assist in promptly locating 

the Record. Requests shall also contain 

a description of their purpose so that a 

determination may be made regarding 

the appropriate fee structure that should 

be applied to the request. See 

§ 1000.10(i). Requests that do not meet 

these requirements will not be 

considered a proper request. 

(c) When a request is not considered 

reasonably descriptive, or requires the 

production of voluminous records, or 

places an extraordinary burden on the 

FOIA Officer or other members of the 

Board staff that would seriously 

interfere with its normal functioning, 

the Board shall provide the person an 

opportunity to limit the scope of the 

request so that it may be processed 

within that time limit or an opportunity 

to arrange with the Board an alternative 

time frame for processing the request or 

a modified request. Refusal by the 

person reasonably to modify the request 

or arrange such an alternative time 

frame shall be considered as a factor in 

determining whether exceptional 

circumstances exist for purposes of 5 

U.S.C. 552(a)(6)(C).

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 68 / Tuesday, April 10, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 17791 

§ 1000.7 Initial determination. 

References to the FOIA Officer shall, 

unless otherwise stated, include the 

FOIA Officer’s designee. The FOIA 

Officer shall have the authority to 

approve or deny requests received 

pursuant to these regulations. The 

decision of the FOIA Officer shall be 

final, subject only to administrative 

appeal as provided in § 1000.9. 

§ 1000.8 Response to FOIA request. 

(a) When a requested record has been 

identified and is available, the FOIA 

Officer shall notify the person making 

the request as to where and when the 

record is available for inspection or the 

copies will be available. The 

notification shall also advise the person 

making the request of any fees pursuant 

to § 1000.10. 

(b) The FOIA Officer shall approve or 

deny, in whole or in part, a request for 

Records as soon as reasonably possible. 

Such a response will be given in writing 

and will occur within 20 days after the 

Officer receives the request. The FOIA 

Officer may grant or deny a portion of 

a request if it appears that other, 

separate elements of the request will 

require additional time to complete. 

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(6)(B), the 

FOIA Officer may extend these time 

limits by written notice to the person 

making such request. Such written 

notice shall set forth the unusual 

circumstances for such extension and 

the date on which a determination is 

expected to be dispatched. Such a 

notice shall not specify a date that 

would result in an extension for more 

than 10 days, except as provided in 

§ 1000.6(c). Additional time may be 

required because: 

(1) It is necessary to search for, collect, and 

appropriately examine a voluminous amount 

of separate and distinct records which are 

demanded in a single request; 

(2) It is necessary to consult with another 

organization having a substantial interest in 

the determination of the request or among 

two or more components of the organization 

having substantial subject matter interest 

therein; or 

(3) For other reasons discussed in 5 U.S.C. 

552(a)(6)(B). 

(c) If the request is denied, the written 

notification to the person making the 

request shall include the names of the 

individuals who participated in the 

determination, the reasons for the 

denial, and a notice that an appeal may 

be lodged with the head of the agency 

within 30 calendar days of receipt of the 

denial or partial denial. 

(d) The FOIA officer may grant 

expedited consideration of a FOIA 

request or appeal if the requestor shows 

a compelling need for such expedited 

consideration. The requestor must 

submit such a request in writing. A 

demonstration of a compelling need by 

a person making a request for expedited 

processing shall be made by a statement 

certified by such person to be true and 

correct to the best of such person’s 

knowledge and belief. The FOIA officer 

will respond to such a request within 10 

days of receipt of the request. 

§ 1000.9 Administrative appeal. 

Appeals shall be set forth in writing 

within 30 calendar days of receipt of a 

denial and addressed to the head of the 

agency via mail or fax pursuant to the 

contact information listed in § 1000.6(a). 

The words ‘‘FOIA APPEAL’’ must be 

clearly marked on the envelope or cover 

page, as well as the actual appeal. The 

appeal shall include a statement 

explaining the basis for the appeal. 

Determinations of appeals will be set 

forth in writing and signed by the head 

of the agency, or his designee, within 20 

days of receipt of the appeal. If, on 

appeal, the denial is in whole or in part 

upheld, the written determination will 

also contain a notification of the 

provisions for judicial review, where a 

challenge may be filed, and the names 

of the persons who participated in the 

determination. 

§ 1000.10 Charges for search, review, and 

reproduction. 

(a) The Board will charge fees that 

recoup the full allowable direct costs it 

incurs. This may also include costs 

incurred by another organization to 

search for, review, and produce 

potentially responsive records. 

Moreover, it shall use the most efficient 

and least costly methods to comply with 

requests for records made under FOIA. 

(b) With regard to manual searches for 

records, the Board will charge at the 

salary rate(s) (i.e., basic pay plus 16 

percent) of the employee(s) making the 

search. 

(c) In calculating charges for computer 

searches for records, the Board will 

charge at the actual direct cost of 

providing the service. This will include 

the cost of operating the central 

processing unit for that portion of 

operating time that is directly 

attributable to searching for records 

potentially responsive to a FOIA request 

and the portion of the salary of the 

operators/programmers attributable to 

the search. 

(d) Only requestors who are seeking 

documents for commercial use may be 

charged for time spent reviewing 

records to determine whether they are 

exempt from mandatory disclosure. 

Charges may be assessed only for the 

initial review—that is, the review 

undertaken the first time the Board 

analyzes the applicability of a specific 

exemption to a particular record or 

portion of a record. Records or portions 

of records withheld in full under an 

exemption that is subsequently 

determined not to apply may be 

reviewed again to determine the 

applicability of other exemptions not 

previously considered. The Board may 

assess the costs for such a subsequent 

review. 

(e) Records will be duplicated at a rate 

of $.15 per page, except that the Board 

may adjust that rate from time to time 

by notice published in the Federal 

Register. For copies prepared by 

computer, such as tapes or printouts, 

the Board shall charge the actual cost, 

including operator time, of production 

of the tape or printout. For other 

methods of reproduction or duplication, 

the Board will charge the actual direct 

costs of producing the document(s). If 

the Board estimates that duplication 

charges are likely to exceed $25, it shall 

notify the requestor of the estimated 

amount of fees, unless the requestor has 

indicated in advance his willingness to 

pay fees as high as those anticipated. 

Such a notice shall offer a requestor the 

opportunity to confer with PCLOB 

personnel with the object of 

reformulating the request to meet his or 

her needs at a lower cost. 

(f) Remittances shall be in the form 

either of a personal check or bank draft 

drawn on a bank in the United States, 

or a postal money order. Remittances 

shall be made payable to the order of the 

Treasury of the United States and 

mailed to the FOIA Officer, Privacy and 

Civil Liberties Oversight Board, The 

White House, Washington, DC 20502. 

(g) A receipt for fees paid will be 

given upon request. Refund of fees paid 

for services actually rendered will not 

be made. 

(h) With the exception of requestors 

seeking documents for a Commercial 

Use, the Board will provide the first 100 

pages of duplication and the first two 

hours of search time without charge. 

(1) For purposes of these restrictions 

on assessment of fees, the word ‘‘pages’’

refers to 81⁄2′′ x 11′′ or 11′′ x 14′′ paper 

copies. Thus, requestors are not entitled 

to 100 microfiche or 100 computer 

disks, for example. By contrast, a 

microfiche containing the equivalent of 

100 pages or 100 pages of computer 

printout does meet the terms of the 

restriction. 

(2) Similarly, the term ‘‘Search time’’ 

in this context applies to a manual 

search. To apply this term to searches 

made by computer, the Board will 

determine the hourly cost of operating 

the central processing unit and the 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with RULES
17792 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 68 / Tuesday, April 10, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

operator’s hourly salary plus 16 percent. 

When the cost of search (including the 

operator time and the cost of operating 

the computer to process a request) 

equals the equivalent dollar amount of 

two hours of the salary of the person 

performing the search, the Board will 

begin assessing charges for computer 

searches. 

(i) The Board divides FOIA requestors 

into four categories: Commercial use 

requestors; educational and noncommercial scientific institutions; 

representatives of the news media; and 

all other requestors. The specific levels 

of fees for each of these categories are: 

(1) Commercial use requestors. When 

the Board receives a request for 

documents for commercial use, it will 

assess charges that recover the full 

direct costs of searching for, reviewing 

for release, and duplicating the record 

sought. Requestors must reasonably 

describe the records sought. Commercial 

use requestors are entitled neither to 

two hours of free search time nor to 100 

free pages of reproduction of 

documents. The Board may recover the 

cost of searching for and Reviewing 

Records even if there is ultimately no 

disclosure of Records. 

(2) Educational and non-commercial 

scientific institution requestors. The 

Board shall provide documents to 

requestors in this category for the cost 

of reproduction alone, excluding 

charges for the first 100 pages. To be 

eligible for inclusion in this category, 

requestors must show that the request is 

being made as authorized by and under 

the auspices of a qualifying institution 

and that the records are not sought for 

a commercial use, but are sought in 

furtherance of scholarly (if the request is 

from an Educational Institution) or 

scientific (if the request is from a noncommercial scientific institution) 

research. Requestors must reasonably 

describe the records sought. 

(3) Requestors who are representatives 

of the news media. The Board will 

provide documents to requestors in this 

category for the cost of reproduction 

alone, excluding charges for the first 100 

pages. To be eligible for inclusion in 

this category, a requestor must satisfy 

the definition of representatives of the 

news media in § 1000.1, and his or her 

request must not be made for a 

commercial use. In reference to this 

class of requestor, a request for Records 

supporting the news dissemination 

function of the requestor shall not be 

considered to be a request that is for a 

commercial use. Requestors must 

reasonably describe the Records sought. 

(4) All other requestors. The Board 

shall charge requestors who do not fit 

into any of the categories above fees that 

recover the full reasonable Direct Cost of 

Searching for and reproducing Records 

that are responsive to the request, 

except that the first 100 pages of 

reproduction and the first two hours of 

Search time shall be furnished without 

charge. Requestors must reasonably 

describe the Records sought. 

(j) The Board may assess interest 

charges on an unpaid bill starting on the 

31st Calendar Day following the day on 

which the billing was sent. The fact that 

the fee has been received within the 

thirty Calendar Day grace period, even 

if the fee has not been processed, will 

suffice to stay the accrual of interest. 

Interest will be at the rate prescribed in 

section 3717 of title 31 of the United 

States Code and will accrue from the 

date of the billing. 

(k) The Board may assess charges for 

time spent searching, even if it fails to 

locate the Records or if Records located 

are determined to be exempt from 

disclosure. If the Board estimates that 

Search charges are likely to exceed $25, 

it shall notify the requestor of the 

estimated amount of fees, unless the 

requestor has indicated in advance his 

willingness to pay fees as high as those 

anticipated. 

(l) A requestor may not file multiple 

requests, each seeking portions of a 

document or documents, solely in order 

to avoid payment of fees. When the 

Board reasonably believes that a 

requestor, or a group of requestors 

acting in concert, has submitted 

requests that constitute a single request, 

involving clearly related matters, it may 

aggregate those requests and charge 

accordingly. 

(m)(1) The Board may not require a 

requestor to make payment before work 

is commenced or continued on a 

request, unless: 

(i) The Board estimates or determines 

that allowable charges that a requestor 

may be required to pay are likely to 

exceed $250; or 

(ii) A requestor has previously failed 

to pay a fee charged in a timely fashion 

(i.e., within 30 Days of the date of the 

billing). 

(2) When the Board acts under 

paragraph (m)(1)(i) or (ii) of this section, 

the administrative time limits 

prescribed in FOIA, 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6) 

will begin only after the Board has 

received fee payments described in 

paragraphs (m)(1)(i) and (ii) of this 

section. 

(n) Fees otherwise chargeable in 

connection with a request for disclosure 

of a record shall be waived or reduced 

where it is determined that disclosure is 

in the public interest because it is likely 

to contribute significantly to public 

understanding of the operations or 

activities of the Government and is not 

primarily in the commercial interest of 

the requestor. 

§ 1000.11 Annual report. 

The FOIA Officer or the FOIA 

Officer’s designee shall annually, on or 

before February 1, submit a FOIA report 

addressing the preceding fiscal year to 

the Attorney General. The report shall 

include those matters required by 5 

U.S.C. 552(e)(1). The Board will make 

the annual report available to the public 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(e)(2).

Irish Potatoes Grown in Washington; 

Modification of Administrative Rules 

Governing Committee Representation 

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule modifies the 

administrative rules governing 

committee representation under the 

Washington potato marketing order. The 

marketing order regulates the handling 

of Irish potatoes grown in Washington, 

and is administered locally by the State 

of Washington Potato Committee 

(Committee). This rule reestablishes
