PlaintiffAmerican Small Business League
Case DescriptionThe American Small Business League submitted two FOIA requests to the Department of Defense for the master comprehensive subcontracting plan submitted by BAE System. The agency responded by providing a heavily redacted copy of the plan. ASBL filed an administrative appeal, but heard nothing further from the agency. ASBL's second FOIA request was for the master comprehensive subcontracting plan submitted by GE Aviation. The agency indicated that some information would be withheld under Exemption 4 (confidential business information). ASBL filed an administrative appeal of that decision, but after hearing nothing further from the agency as its appeals of both requests, ASBL filed suit.

Opinion/Order [58]
FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in California has ruled that there remains a factual dispute on whether or not information contained in a small-business subcontracting plan submitted to the Department of Defense by GE in protected by Exemption 4 (confidential business information) which may require the court to hold a trial on the issue. Ruling in the latest of a series of suits brought by the American Small Business League seeking small-business subcontracting plans submitted by large defense contractors, the court also found that the plans were not protected by the Procurement Integrity Act, which the agency argued qualified under Exemption 3 (other statutes). The court also found that records submitted by Sikorsky during the first round of litigation over the disclosure of small-business subcontracting plans were protected by Exemption 5 (privileges), specifically the common interest doctrine. In 2013, ASBL filed suit to obtain Sikorsky's 2013 small-business subcontracting plan. That case went to the Ninth Circuit and was remanded, resulting in Sikorsky's plan being disclosed in 2018 over the company's objection. The current litigation involved a request by ASBL for GE's 2014 plan. The agency withheld records under Exemption 3, Exemption 4, Exemption 5, and Exemption 6 (invasion of privacy). ASBL challenged the agency's exemption claims as well as the adequacy of the search. ASBL argued that the search was inadequate because the agency found some records months after its initial disclosure. Approving the search, District Court Judge William Alsup noted that "here, the government readily acknowledged certain missing documents once notified by plaintiff and promptly took steps to address the errors, including voluntarily redoing its search for documents from custodians located within the United States Attorney's Office. . ." The agency redacted records pertaining to Sikorsky's actual subcontracting performance and compliance as "source selection information" under the PIA, which protects source selection information before a contract is awarded. Alsup rejected that claim, pointing out that "the details of [Sikorsky's] actual subcontracting performance and compliance relate to contracts already awarded to [Sikorsky]." He observed that "the government's broad assertion that it can withhold redacted information effectively ad infinitum however, eviscerates any distinction between pre- and post-award of a contract �" a distinction the PIA clearly contemplates �" thereby rendering the statutory language 'before the award' meaningless." Turning to Exemption 4, Alsup, pointing to the conflict between the agency and ASBL on the issue of whether disclosure would cause competitive harm, noted that "issues of material fact exist as to Exemption 4. . . [T]he parties have submitted competing declarations as to whether disclosure of requested information would cause competitive harm" and added that "additionally, the parties have submitted competing declarations as to whether disclosure would impede the government's information-gathering ability." Alsup did nothing more than deny the parties' summary judgment motions but without any likelihood of an informal settlement he will probably need to hold a trial on the issue. Citing the Fourth Circuit's decision in Hunton & Williams v. Dept of Justice, 590 F. 3 272 (4th Cir. 2010), in which the Fourth Circuit found that once DOJ intervened on the side of RIM, which manufactured the BlackBerry, to defend against a patent infringement claim any discussions between DOJ and RIM were privileged by the common interest doctrine, Alsup found the common interest doctrine applied here as well to protect discussions between DOD and Sikorsky on the issue of whether its information was protected by Exemption 4. In finding Hunton persuasive, Alsup rejected a more recent holding in Lucaj v. FBI, 852 F.3d 541 (6th Cir. 2017), in which the Sixth Circuit rejected DOJ's claim that an international agreement to honor requests for assistance in law enforcement matters was protected by the common interest doctrine. But Alsup pointed out that the agency had to show the existence of a joint defense agreement before it could claim the privilege in this case.

Opinion/Order [96]
FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in California has ruled that Lockheed-Martin may intervene in litigation brought by the American Small Business League against the Department of Defense and the Department of Justice for records related to its earlier FOIA litigation pertaining to its request for Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation's 2013 Comprehensive Small Business Contracting Plan. DOD withheld the records under Exemption 4 (confidential business information), but after a trip to the Ninth Circuit, the government disclosed the plan with redactions made under Exemption 6 (invasion of privacy). ASBL then requested all documents transmitted between the agencies and Lockheed-Martin, Sikorsky's parent company regarding the 2013 FOIA request. In 2018, the court denied the parties' motions for summary judgment pertaining to Exemption 4. The court then approved a stipulated schedule regarding pretrial and trial dates, including a list of anticipated expert witnesses on the applicability of Exemption 4. Lockheed-Martin then asked to intervene. The court granted Lockheed-Martin's motion to intervene. The court emphasized that "Lockheed-Martin will be held to the promise made in its motion to intervene and affirmed at oral argument that it will not re-litigate previously decided issues. Furthermore, any attempts by Lockheed-Martin to impede the flow of discovery between ASBL and defendants Department of Defense and Department of Justice will not be tolerated."

Opinion/Order [129]
FOIA Project Annotation: Although acknowledging that the burden of proof had been reduced as a result of the Supreme Court's recent decision in Food Marketing Institute v. Argus Media Leader, 139 S. Ct. 2356 (2019), a federal court in California allowed the American Business League to take discovery on the issue of whether Lockheed Martin customarily kept information about their subcontractors confidential. In a case involving Lockheed Martin's subcontracting plan to hire small businesses, ASBL argued that the identities of many subcontractors were routinely publicized by the company, suggesting that such relationships were not customarily confidential. Agreeing with ASBL, Judge William Alsup noted that "according to [the company's affidavit], Lockheed Martin simultaneously keeps private its supplier names to protect against poaching and freely discloses its 'exemplary' suppliers to attract more suppliers. These explanations do not square. Vague statements and discrepancies such as these sufficiently demonstrate that certain limited discovery is warranted under Rule 56(d)."
Issues: Exemption 4 - Competitive harm, Litigation - Discovery
Opinion/Order [153]
FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in California that had shown considerable sympathy towards attempts by the American Small Business League to force disclosure of more information about defense contractors' relationships with small business subcontractors has admitted how the impact of the Supreme Court's recent decision in Food Marketing Institute v. Argus Leader Media, 139 S. Ct. 2356 (2019), in which the Court rejected the substantial competitive harm test in Exemption 4 (confidential business information) as the basis for assessing whether records were protected by the exemption, has made it nearly impossible for the ASBL to overcome the defense contractors' claims that the information was customarily considered confidential. ASBL has litigated several times over the issue of whether defense contractors' small business subcontracting plans were protected under Exemption 4. Much of the focus of the litigation has been on whether the defense contractors had shown that disclosure of information about subcontractors would likely cause substantial competitive harm. The district court judge had previously ruled that neither the Defense Contract Management Agency nor the individual contractors had shown that all the information pertaining to relationships with small business subcontractors met the substantial harm test. ASBL has continued to litigate and the current litigation involves Lockheed Martin, Sikorsky Aircraft, and GE Aviation Systems. Even after the Argus Media Leader decision was announced in June 2019, District Court Judge William Allsup awarded ASBL discovery on the issue of whether the companies actually treated information about subcontractor relationships as confidential. But now that discovery has been completed, Allsup has admitted that the contractors' confidentiality claims are appropriate under the new standard. Allsup explained that in abandoning the substantial competitive test because it did not appear in the actual language of Exemption 4 the Supreme Court instead recognized a customarily confidential standard �" that a submitter treated the information as confidential and did not publicly disclose it, and that the agency had provided an assurance that the information would be kept confidential. The Supreme Court noted that an agency's failure to provide an explicit or implicit assurance of confidentiality would likely be fatal to a submitter's confidentiality claim, but pointed out that in the circumstances present in Food Marketing the government had assured the submitters that it would honor confidentiality claims, that issue had been addressed. Allsup pointed out that "ultimately, the Supreme Court held that 'at least where commercial or financial information is both customarily and actually treated as private by its owner and provided to the government under an assurance of privacy, the information is "confidential" within the meaning of Exemption 4.'" Allsup noted that "the 'bulk' of documents defendants seek to withhold are the companies' comprehensive subcontracting plans, program reports, and related correspondence. Defendants assert that these documents included 'granular details' about the companies' 'targeted small-business focused initiatives, goals broke out by program level, and the names of [their] suppliers and partners on strategic initiatives.'" However, Allsup observed that "as an initial matter, only information originating from the companies themselves can be considered information that they customarily and actually treat as private during their ordinary course of business. In the instant action, that means that government assessments and evaluations cannot be considered 'confidential' information for purposes of Exemption 4. This includes, for example, the government's evaluation of a contractor's compliance with regulatory requirements, ratings, assessments of a contractor report's accuracy, and recommendations. . .Such information stemmed from the government, not the companies. No one can reasonably argue that those evaluations by the government constituted information that belongs to the companies rather than the government. The information generated by the government must be disclosed." Having indicated that government-generated information could not be considered confidential for purposes of Exemption 4, Allsup observed that "information originating from the companies may qualify as 'confidential' information under Food Marketing. Relevant here, the comprehensive subcontracting plans Lockheed and Sikorsky annually submitted to the government contained the companies' small-business subcontracting goals, in terms of percentage categories and actual dollars spent for that particular year. . . Because the Test Program required participants to monitor and report on their subcontract awards, Lockheed and Sikorsky also submitted reports �" including summary subcontract reports, quarterly reports, and mentor-protégé semiannual reports �" to the government." Allsup then explained that "both Lockheed and Sikorsky swear that they customarily and actually kept all of the commercial information within the withheld documents confidential in the ordinary course of business . . . They used various methods to protect the information. . . When submitting the comprehensive subcontracting plans or reports, for example, the companies marked them with 'restrictive legends identifying the information contained therein as proprietary and confidential'. . ." By contrast, Allsup pointed out that "at bottom, plaintiff simply has not pointed to particular facts demonstrating that the specific information within over 2,000 pages it seeks, in all of its granularity �" including information related to how the companies intend to meet their subcontracting goals, which industries they plan to target and their strategy for such targeting, and their planned initiatives for promoting use of small businesses �" was not customarily and actually kept private by the companies." Allsup expressed sympathy for ASBL's plight. He pointed out that "under Food Marketing, it appears that defendants need merely invoke the magic words �" 'customarily and actually kept confidential' �" to prevail. And, unless plaintiff can show that the information is in fact publicly available or possibly point to other competitors who release the information, defendants can readily ward off disclosure." Offering a personal testimonial, Allsup noted that "the undersigned judge has learned in twenty-five year of practice and twenty years as a judge how prolifically companies claim confidentiality, including over documents that, once scrutinized, contain standard fare blather and even publicly available information." He lamented that "nevertheless, we are not writing on a clean slate. Food Marketing mandates this result." Allsup rejected ASBL's argument that an assurance of confidentiality must be explicit. But Allsup observed that "this order, however, does not find that Exemption 4 requires such written document or express assurances by the government. An implied assurance suffices." In discussing the level of assurance of confidentiality required, the Supreme Court in Food Marketing had referred approvingly to the discussion of confidentiality under Exemption 7(D) (confidential sources) in Dept of Justice v. Landano, 508 U.S. 165 (1993), in which the Court found that confidentiality could stem from either an explicit or implicit assurance of confidentiality. Allsup noted that "so too here. Such inference of assurance is reasonable where the context involved Lookheed and Sikorsky's voluntary participation in the Test Program and the DOD's increasing requests for more detailed commercial information." Allsup also rejected ASBL's contention that the foreseeable harm standard that was applied to all exemptions under the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016 essentially restored the substantial harm standard. Allsup disagreed, noting that "ultimately, under Food Marketing, the plain and ordinary meaning of Exemption 4 indicates that the relevant interest is that of the information's confidentiality �" that is, its private nature. Disclosure would necessarily destroy the private nature of the information, no matter the circumstance. This order may not use the FOIA amendment to circumvent the Supreme Court's rejection of National Parks's reliance on the legislative history in determining the scope of the term 'confidential.'"
Issues: Exemption 4 - Confidential business information
Opinion/Order [174]
FOIA Project Annotation: When the Supreme Court agreed to hear Food Marketing Institute v. Argus Leader Media, specifically challenging whether the substantial competitive harm test first developed in 1974 by the D.C. Circuit in National Parks & Conservation Association v. Morton, 498 F.2d 765 (D.C. Cir. 1974) was supported by the plain language of Exemption 4 (confidential business information), many FOIA observers assumed that if the Supreme Court threw out the substantial harm test it would be considerably easier for business submitters to persuade agencies to withhold such information because it was customarily treated as confidential. However, while the Supreme Court's decision last year in Food Marketing Institute v. Argus Media Leader, 139 S. Ct. 2356 (2019), concluded that the substantial competitive harm test was not supported by the plain language of Exemption 4, the decision failed to resolve a host of other unanswered issues about what constituted commercial information and what elements were required to establish confidentiality. Two recent decisions from the Northern District of California illustrate some of the hurdles that agencies still face in convincing courts that records are both commercial and confidential for purposes of Exemption 4. While both cases focus on the confidentiality of records, they also deal with aspects of what constitutes commercial information. The first case involved FOIA requests from Jennifer Gollan, a reporter for the Center for Investigative Reporting, to the Occupational Health and Safety Administration for records contained on OSHA Forms 300, 300A, and 301 pertaining to the reporting of workplace injuries and illnesses. OSHA's search yielded 237,000 potentially responsive records. OSHA initially decided to withhold all the records on the basis of Exemption 7(E) (investigative methods or techniques), but after Gollan filed an administrative appeal of that denial claim, the agency invoked Exemption 4 instead. The agency claimed that the information was confidential because in the 2014 rulemaking process, employers and trade groups contended that they considered such information to constitute confidential commercial information. But Magistrate Judge Donna Ryu pointed out that "as Food Marketing makes clear, the court must examine whether the information actually is kept and treated as confidential, not whether the submitter considers it to be so. Food Marketing involved store-level Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) data. The court concluded that the information was confidential within the meaning of Exemption 4 because the owners of the SNAP data customarily kept and treated the information as confidential." Ryu noted that "in contrast, here, the rulemaking comments relied upon by [the Department of Labor] reflect the owners' subjective view of the nature of the information, which is not the test for confidentiality under Food Marketing. The comments do not speak to how the owners keep and treat the Form 300A information; instead, they focus on the reasons why the owners oppose the release of the information. Therefore, the comments are minimally probative." Further, the Form 300As were required to be posted where employees could see them. This, Ryu observed, meant that "there are no restrictions on further dissemination of Form 300A information. . .Therefore, the Form 300A information is both readily observable by and shared with employees, who have the right to make the information public." While OSHA argued that it had changed its policy on posting, meaning the data was not readily available, Ryu pointed out that guidance on how to apply the Food Marketing standards posted by the Office of Information Policy in October 2019 indicated that "information loses its character of confidentiality where there is an express agency notification that submitted information will be publicly disclosed." Ryu explained that "even if DOL had established that the Form 300A information is 'customarily treated as private by its owners,' the information ceased to be confidential upon submission to the government pursuant to Department of Justice guidelines." The other case involved continuing litigation by the American Small Business League for records pertaining to plans submitted by defense contractors to hire small business subcontractors as part of Defense Department contracts. ASBL had asked District Court Judge William Alsup to review three compliance reviews submitted by Sikorsky in camera to determine if Exemption 4 claims made by Sikorsky and the agency were appropriate. Alsup indicated that "plenty of information within the compliance reports does appear to be bare company information. . .The government appropriately redacted this information." He observed that "Sikorsky's fiscal year 2013 review appropriately redacts several pages plainly reciting Sikorsky's internal procedures for accomplishing its small business subcontracting goals, though disclosing the resulting government evaluations. It also appropriately redacts tables listing specific subcontracts and subcontracting in various categories year-over-year." However, throughout the ASBL litigation, Alsup had distinguished between the confidentiality of information submitted by defense contractors pertaining to their small business subcontracting plans and the government's subsequent analysis of that information. In this instance, Alsup pointed out that "recall that evaluations â€" e.g., a finding 'that an SB goal was not met because the company failed to meet the SB goal by a certain percentage' â€" remains the government's." Alsup provided an example of a paragraph which Sikorsky had heavily redacted. Explaining why the redactions were inappropriate, Alsup pointed out that "though the conclusions of the government's own evaluations have been disclosed, it appears that the government's analysis remains redacted. This cannot be." He added that "the quantitative values, the amount of money flowing through Sikorsky to small businesses (whether given in absolute dollars or percentages of total revenue) remains company information. But the qualitative assessments of hard data remain the government's evaluation of Sikorsky. So, the current redactions unnecessarily shield valuable qualitative government assessments. The November order's recognition that the government need not painstakingly redact word by word did not invite lackadaisical over-redaction. . .The company's numbers and the government's analysis remain segregable with reasonable effort." Alsup also rejected DOD's claim that because a joint-defense agreement existed with Sikorsky as of 2015, discussions of the joint defense were protected under Exemption 5 (privileges). Instead, he indicated that the joint-defense agreement did not exist until 2017. He noted that "the two must have reached an agreement to jointly appeal. And, once again, the government points to no offer to jointly appeal and no acceptance of the offer. Without both, no agreement can exist."
