2. Brief description of why requests are not granted 

The Treasury Department may not grant full access to records because of several reasons. Some 

records are classified. Others are specifically exempt from disclosure pursuant to statute, such 

as records that contain Bank Secrecy Act information or certain tax return information. This 

information falls within the scope of Exemption 3. Still other records and information that are 

obtained from private businesses and submitted in confidence or that contain proprietary 

information fall within the scope of Exemption 4. Internal agency communications representing 

the deliberative process, attorney work product, or attorney-client records fall within the scope 

of Exemption 5. Private information obtained from individuals may fall within the scope of 

Exemptions 6 and/or 7(C). Treasury also relies on Exemption 7(E) to protect information that 

would disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions or 

would disclose guidelines for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions if such disclosure 

could be expected to risk circumvention of the law. Finally, Treasury protects information and 

records contained in or related to the examination or the supervision of financial institutions 

under the authority of Exemption 8. 

3. FOIA Regulations 

Treasury’s FOIA regulations are codified at 31 CFR Part 1, Subpart A. 

The Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) FOIA regulations are codified at 12 CFR Part 

1301.

2. Basic terms used in this Report 

a. Administrative Appeal – a request to a federal agency asking that it review at a higher 

administrative level a FOIA determination made by the agency at the initial request level. 

b. Average Number – the number obtained by dividing the sum of a group of numbers by the 

quantity of numbers in the group. For example, of 3, 7, and 14, the average number is 8. 

c. Backlog – the number of requests or administrative appeals that are pending at an agency 

at the end of the fiscal year that are beyond the statutory time period for a response. 

d. Component – for agencies that process requests on a decentralized basis, a “component” is 

an entity, also sometimes referred to as an Office, Division, Bureau, Center, or Directorate, 

within the agency that processes FOIA requests. The FOIA now requires that agencies 

include in their Annual FOIA Report data for both the agency overall and for each principal 

component of the agency. 

1 DO includes the Offices of Domestic Finance, Economic Policy, Financial Research, General Counsel, International Affairs, 

Legislative Affairs, Management, Public Affairs, Tax Policy, Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, and the Treasurer of the 

United States. DO statistics in this report also include requests made to the Financial Stability Oversight Council, an entity 

chaired by the Secretary of the Treasury, the Treasury Office of the Inspector General, and the Office of the Special 

Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program. 

6 
e. Consultation – the procedure whereby the agency responding to a FOIA request first 

forwards a record to another agency for its review because that other agency has an 

interest in the document. Once the agency in receipt of the consultation finishes its review 

of the record, it responds back to the agency that forwarded it. That agency, in turn, will 

then respond to the FOIA requester. 

f. Exemption 3 Statute – a federal statute that exempts information from disclosure and 

which the agency relies on to withhold information under subsection (b)(3) of the FOIA. 

g. FOIA Request – a FOIA request is generally a request to a federal agency for access to 

records concerning another person (i.e., a “third‐party” request), or concerning an 

organization, or a particular topic of interest. FOIA requests also include requests made by 

requesters seeking records concerning themselves (i.e., “first‐party” requests) when those 

requesters are not subject to the Privacy Act, such as non‐U.S. citizens. Moreover, because 

all first‐party requesters should be afforded the benefit of both the access provisions of the 

FOIA as well as those of the Privacy Act, FOIA requests also include any first‐party requests 

where an agency determines that it must search beyond its Privacy Act “systems of records” 

or where a Privacy Act exemption applies, and the agency looks to FOIA to afford the 

greatest possible access. All requests which require the agency to utilize the FOIA in 

responding to the requester are included in this Report. Additionally, a FOIA request 

includes records referred to the agency for processing and direct response to the requester. 

It does not however, include records for which the agency has received a consultation from 

another agency (Consultations are reported separately in Section XII of this Report). 

h. Full Grant – an agency decision to disclose all records in full in response to a FOIA request. 

i. Full Denial – an agency decision not to release any records in response to a FOIA request 

because the records are exempt in their entireties under one or more of the FOIA 

exemptions, or because of a procedural reason, such as when no records could be located. 

j. Median Number – the middle, not average, number. For example, of 3, 7, and 14, the 

median number is 7. 

i. Multi‐track processing – a system in which simple requests requiring relatively minimal 

review are placed in one processing track and more voluminous and complex requests are 

placed in one or more other tracks. Requests granted expedited processing are placed in yet 

another track. Requests in each track are processed on a first in/first out basis. 

ii. Expedited processing – an agency will process a FOIA request on an expedited basis 

when a requester satisfies the requirements for expedited processing as set forth in 

the statute and in agency regulations. 

iii. Simple request – a FOIA request that an agency using multi‐track processing places 

in its fastest (non‐expedited) track based on the low volume and/or simplicity of 

the records requested. 

7 
iv. Complex request – a FOIA request that an agency using multi‐track processing 

places in a slower track based on the high volume and/or complexity of the records 

requested. 

k. Partial Grant/Partial Denial – in response to a FOIA request, an agency decision to disclose 

portions of the records and to withhold other portions that are exempt under the FOIA, or 

to otherwise deny a portion of the request for a procedural reason. 

l. Pending Request or Pending Administrative Appeal – a request or administrative appeal 

for which an agency has not taken final action in all respects. 

m. Perfected Request – a request for records which reasonably describes such records and is 

made in accordance with published rules stating the time, place, fees (if any) and 

procedures to be followed. 

n. Processed Request or Processed Administrative Appeal – a request or administrative 

appeal for which an agency has taken final action in all respects. 

o. Range in Number of Days – the lowest and highest number of days to process requests or 

administrative appeals. 

p. Time Limits – the time period in the statute for an agency to respond to a FOIA request 

(ordinarily 20 working days from receipt of a "perfected" FOIA request). 

8

unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, (D) could reasonably be expected to disclose 

the identity of a confidential source, (E) would disclose techniques and procedures for 

law enforcement investigations or prosecutions, or would disclose guidelines for law 

enforcement investigations or prosecutions, or (F) could reasonably be expected to
