Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: District Court Judge Loretta Preska of the Southern District of New York has ordered the Federal Reserve to search for Remaining Term Reports listing outstanding loans made by the New York Federal Reserve Bank during the recent financial crisis after ruling that many of the Reports were records of the Federal Reserve even though they were physically located at the New York Federal Reserve Bank. She also found that none of the Reports were protected by either Exemption 4 (confidential business information) or Exemption 5 (privileges). Ruling in a case brought by Bloomberg, L.P, Preska has reached a nearly opposite conclusion to that reached by Judge Alvin Hellerstein of the Southern District several weeks ago when he ruled in favor of the Federal Reserve in a case brought by Fox News. In both cases, the Federal Reserve told the court that the records belonged to the New York Federal Reserve Bank and not the Federal Reserve itself and that any responsive Federal Reserve records would be protected by Exemption 4 and Exemption 5. But while Hellerstein agreed with the agency that most of the responsive records belonged to the New York Federal Reserve Bank, Preska concluded instead that the Federal Reserve controlled many responsive records located at the New York bank. Preska started by observing that the Board's FOIA regulations defined Board records as "all Board Records, including records that are in the possession or control of the Board, [or] any Federal Reserve Bank." However, a subsequent provision indicated that bank records qualified as Board records only if they were created or compiled "in the performance of functions for or on behalf of the Board that constitute part of the Boards official files" or that "are maintained for administrative reasons in the regular course of business in official files in any division or office of the Board or any Federal Reserve Bank in connection with the transaction of any official business." Preska pointed out that "the Board contends that 'for or on behalf of' actually means 'under delegated authority from the Board.' Bloomberg disagrees and contends that the Board's idiosyncratic interpretation should not be adopted." She then explained that "this disagreement need not be resolved because if a record is kept in the Board's official files at a FRB, the Secretary of the Board is its official custodian, regardless of its subject matter, and thus it qualifies as a Board 'agency record.'" She then pointed out that "the Board has not conducted an adequate search of its agency records because the Board did not search any FRNY records. In other words, the Board improperly withheld agency records in response to a FOIA request by conducting an inadequate search. The Board shall search forthwith records at the FRBNY that constitute 'Records of the Board' within the meaning [of the agency's FOIA regulation]. So long as records at the FRBNY satisfy the plain language meaning of [the regulation], they qualify as agency records of the Board and are subject to FOIA requests." Bloomberg also argued that the Board had constructive control of the records under the holding of Burka v. Dept of Health and Human Services, 87 F.3d 508 (D.C. Cir. 1996). Preska declined to go that far, pointing out that none of the Supreme Court's rulings on agency records "compel adoption of the constructive obtainment and control theory. . .This Court rejects the theory that all records in possession or control of the FRBNY qualify as agency records of the Board merely because the FRBNY may have acted on the Board's behalf. . .[T][he Board shall search only those records in the possession or control of the FRBNY that qualify as Board records pursuant to Board Regulations." Preska also rejected Bloomberg's claim that the New York Bank was an agency subject to FOIA. The Board called the issue irrelevant to the case and Preska partially agreed. She pointed out that "FOIA imposes on each federal agency an obligation to search only its own agency records. Bloomberg did not serve a FOIA request on the FRBNY. And Bloomberg does not contend that the FRBNY and the Board are actually one-and-the-same agency. As such, this Court agrees with the Board; Bloomberg's argument that the FRBNY is an agency for FOIA purposes has no bearing on the issue of the adequacy of the Board's search of its own agency records." However, she indicated that "it seems that the question of the FRBs' status as agencies is indeed relevant to the applicability of the two FOIA exemptions invoked by the Board in this action." Although Hellerstein in the Fox News decision agreed with the Board that any records pertaining to loan agreements were protected by Exemption 4 because the disclosure of such information would tend to show that the borrowers were in financial trouble, Preska concluded that the Board had neither shown that the information was obtained from a person nor that its disclosure would cause competitive harm. Preska rejected the characterization that the information in the Remaining Term Reports had been obtained from the borrowers. Instead, she noted that "the only information in the Remaining Term Reports that the FRBNY and other FRBs could possibly have obtained from the borrowers is the borrowers' names; the FRBs generated all the other information from internal data regarding their lending programs." She observed that "the information in the Remaining Term Reports relates more to the FRBNY's decisions to lend than to the information provided by the borrowers. While the Remaining Term Reports certainly include information about the FRBs interactions with the borrowers, it is a non sequitur to say that information about a person is obtained from that person." She then rejected the competitive harm argument, pointing out that the Board had not shown that "disclosure of the Remaining Term Reports will cause the borrowers to suffer imminent competitive harm from the affirmative use of the disclosed information by their competitors or to raise an issue of fact on this question. In fact, they say nothing about how borrowers' competitors will affirmatively use the information that borrowers participated in the Federal Reserve lending programs." She said allegations of a weakened condition were inadequate. She noted that "the risk of looking weak to competitors and shareholders is an inherent risk of market participation; information tending to increase that risk does not make the information privileged or confidential under Exemption 4. The Board would seemingly sweep within the scope of Exemption 4 all information about borrowers that anyone throughout the entire marketplace might consider to be negative. The Exemption cannot withstand such inflation." The Board also claimed that the Supreme Court's holding in Federal Open Market Committee v. Merrill, 443 U.S. 340 (1979), recognizing Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c)(7), which provides a temporal privilege for confidential business information generated by the government, made the reports privileged for purposes of Exemption 5. Preska rejected the claim, noting that "the Merrill Court certainly did not intend to create a sweeping new privilege for any sensitive information, the immediate release of which would significantly harm the Government's monetary functions or commercial interests." She added that "while the Remaining Term Reports were circulated to the Board and FRBNY staff, the Reports do not contain any information remotely similar to the type of information discussed in Merrill: information that provides guidance or directives. Instead, they provide historic data."

The Stay Order further provides that "[t]he Court's August 24th Order is hereby stayed pending the outcome of the emergency stay application in the Court of Appeals." The Second Circuit docketed the appeal (09 cv 4083) on October 1, 2009 when paper copies of the Notice of Appeal were received from the Clerk of the Southern District. Because the notice of appeal was filed with the Southern District on September 30, 2009, and because the Emergency Stay Motion was received by the Second Circuit and the parties on September 30th in electronic from, we believe that the Board has complied with the Stay Order and that, by its terms, the Stay Order continues in effect until the outcome of the Emergency Stay Motion in the Court of Appeals. We would ask that you confirm this understanding by endorsing this letter, which we will provide to the Clerk of the Second Circuit and the parties. ENDORSEMENT: So Confirmed. So Ordered.
