Office of Hearings and Appeals

[Decision List No. 51]

Week of September 15 through September 19, 1997

Appeal

William H. Payne, 9/19/97, VFA-0326

    The Department of Energy (DOE) issued a Decision and Order (D&O) 
granting in part a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Appeal that was 
filed by William H. Payne. In his Appeal, Mr. Payne contested a 
determination made by the DOE's Albuquerque Operations Office that 
portions of two legal invoices should be withheld pursuant to the 
attorney work-product privilege component of Exemption 5, and Exemption 
4. In the Decision, the OHA found that Albuquerque properly withheld 
portions of the documents under Exemption 5, but that Albuquerque had 
failed to adequately explain its reasons for withholding portions of 
the invoices under Exemptions 4. The OHA therefore remanded the matter 
to Albuquerque for the issuance of a new determination concerning the 
information withheld under Exemption 4.
