Appeals

Diane C. Larson, 2/17/98, VFA–0367

Diane C. Larson perfected an Appeal

under the Privacy Act. The Appellant

requested that OHA review a

determination issued by the Office of

Energy Intelligence to ascertain whether

an adequate search had been conducted

for documents responsive to the

Appellant’s Privacy Act request. The

Appellant also asked that OHA order

the Office of the Inspector General (OIG)

to expedite the issuance of a

determination. OHA denied this Appeal

because it found that the search

conducted by the staff of the Office of

Energy Intelligence was adequate, and

that OHA lacked jurisdiction to review

the processing of Appellant’s Privacy

Act request by the OIG.

FOIA Group, Inc., 2/18/98, VFA–0369

FOIA Group, Inc. filed a Freedom of

Information Act (FOIA) Appeal

requesting that the Office of Hearings

and Appeals of the Department of

Energy (DOE) order the release of

information withheld pursuant to 5

U.S.C. § 552(b)(4). Specifically, a DOE

facility released a copy of a contract, but

deleted certain information. In

considering the Appeal, the DOE

determined that most of the withheld

information, specifically, annual prices,

pricing and delivery terms, annual

demand amounts of power Bonneville

Power Administration would supply,

and total revenue amounts, was

commercial information within the

meaning of Exemption 4. Thus, the DOE

facility properly withheld this

information. However, the DOE found

that the DOE facility should release

some withheld information, specifically,

topic headings. Accordingly, the DOE

remanded FOIA Group, Inc.’s Appeal to

the Bonneville Power Administration.

Ruth Towle Murphy, 2/20/98, VFA–

an Appeal from a determination issued
