overview of certain general categories of the agency's records to which the FOIA

exemptions apply:

• Under the Freedom of Information Act, interested parties may request access 

to records held by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. An important 

part of the EAC response process is ensuring that certain protected 

information is not improperly disclosed when records are provided. Such 

information is withheld if disclosure would harm an interest protected by one 

of the nine exemptions provided by FOIA. EAC records that are withheld 

from disclosure are typically protected by Exemptions 3, 4, 5, and 6, which 

encompass privacy concerns, pre-decisional and deliberative processes, and 

trade secrets. From a policy perspective, these exemptions are important to the 

mission of the EAC to encourage open discussions on matters of policy 

between subordinates and superiors, to protect against premature disclosure of 

proposed policies before formal adoption, and to protect against public 

confusion that might result from disclosure of reasons and rationales that were 

not ultimately grounds for an agency’s action. 

3. Below please find a link to agency FOIA regulations, including the agency's fee 

schedule. (NOTE: Agency FOIA Regulations were formerly listed at Section XI of 

the human-readable version of the Report).

Agency Component Abbreviations

Component 

Abbreviation Component Name

EAC U.S. Election Assistance Commission

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.

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

forwards a record to another agency or component within the same 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 or component 

within the same agency that forwarded it. That agency, in turn, will then respond to the FOIA 

requester.
3

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 "thirdparty" 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.

k. 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.

i. 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.

ii. ii. Simple Request – a FOIA request that an agency using multi-track processing places 

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

records requested.

iii. iii. 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. 

l. 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.

m. Pending Request or Pending Administrative Appeal – a request or administrative appeal for 

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

n. 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.

o. Processed Request or Processed Administrative Appeal – a request or administrative appeal 

for which an agency has taken final action in all respects.
4

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

administrative appeals.

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

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

Descriptions of the nine FOIA exemptions:

a. Exemption 1: classified national defense and foreign relations information

b. Exemption 2: information that is related solely to the internal personnel rules and practices 

of an agency

c. Exemption 3: information that is prohibited from disclosure by another federal law

d. Exemption 4: trade secrets and other confidential business information

e. Exemption 5: inter-agency or intra-agency communications that are protected by legal 

privileges

f. Exemption 6: information involving matters of personal privacy

g. Exemption 7: records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes, to the extent 

that the production of those records (A) could reasonably be expected to interfere with 

enforcement proceedings, (B) would deprive a person of a right to a fair trial or an impartial 

adjudication, (C) could reasonably be expected to constitute an 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 endanger the life or physical safety of 

any individual

h. Exemption 8: information relating to the supervision of financial institutions
