Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Rosemary Collyer has ruled that the Department of the Treasury conducted an adequate search for records using keywords referring to a carbon tax and, except for a handful of emails, properly withheld records under Exemption 5 (privileges). The Competitive Enterprise Institute submitted two requests to Treasury for emails referring to a carbon tax, asking the agency to search the Office of Environment and Energy and the Office of Legislative Affairs. The agency searched Environment and Energy and located 4,163 pages of responsive records. Its search of Legislative Affairs returned no other non-duplicative records. The agency disclosed 2,464 pages and withheld 1,699 pages. CEI argued that it was unrealistic that Legislative Affairs had no records of its own. But Collyer noted that "CEI fails to present evidence sufficient to establish bad faith on the part of the agency. The operative question in not whether further records conceivably exist, or whether other possible search avenues were unavailable, but whether Treasury's searches were 'reasonably calculated to uncover all relevant documents.' CEI identifies no evidence that suggests that any records were intentionally withheld, that the files of likely records custodians were not searched, or that any responsive records held by Legislative Affairs were not duplicative of those found at Environment and Energy." In challenging the applicability of Exemption 5, CEI argued that since Treasury had no authority to tax carbon any discussions it had could not be covered by Exemption 5. Collyer disagreed, noting that "Treasury's authority vel non to impose a carbon tax is not nearly as clear. Agency deliberations may be necessary to determine whether it has authority to promulgate a particular tax or policy. Even if CEI correctly describes Treasury's authority, the need for staff to speak candidly and confidentially is perhaps more important when the discussion concerns unmapped and unexplored terrain at the border of agency authority." Collyer pointed out that "for the most part Treasury's Vaughn Index provided sufficient information to allow the Court to find that it properly claimed applicability of Exemption 5." She added that "the Court can determine that the records are appropriately withheld under Exemption 5 without further information about the particular policy proposals at issue." However, Collyer questioned the applicability of Exemption 5 to records referred to as "media-related withholdings." She indicated that "the lack of substantive detail in the Vaughn Index prevents the Court from assessing what 'deliberative process' was taking place. Not every discussion by agency staff that touches on agency matters is protected by Exemption 5; if that were the case, Exemption 5 could conceivably cover almost any internal agency communication."
Issues: Search - Reasonableness of search, Exemption 5 - Privileges - Deliberative process privilege - Deliberative
