Appeals

David R. Berg, 8/14/97 VFA–0306

David R. Berg filed an Appeal from a

determination issued to him on May 28,

1997, by the Human Resources Office

(HR) of the Department of Energy (DOE),

in response to a request for information

filed under both the Privacy Act and the

FOIA. In his Appeal, Mr. Berg

contended that HR did not adequately

explain the basis upon which the

responsive documents were withheld

under the Privacy Act and that HR

improperly relied upon FOIA

Exemptions 5, 6 and 7. The DOE found

HR’s determination insufficiently

informative and short of what is legally

required. The DOE remanded Mr. Berg’s

Appeal to HR to either release to Mr.

Berg all of the documents responsive to

his request or issue a new determination

adequately supporting the withholding

of the documents. Consequently, the

Appeal filed by Mr. Berg was granted in

part and denied in part.

W.L. McCUllough 8/12/97 VFA–0314

W.L. McCullough (Appellant) filed an

Appeal of a Determination issued to him

by the Department of Energy (DOE) in

response to a request under the Freedom

of Information Act (FOIA). In the

request, the Appellant asked for

documents concerning a grant awarded

by DOE. In its Determination, the Oak

Ridge Operations Office (DOE/ORO)

released one document but stated that

no other documents could be located in

the possession of DOE. The Appellant

challenged the adequacy of DOE/ORO’s

search. The Office of Hearings and

Appeals (OHA) found that DOE/ORO

had conducted an adequate search of
