Opinion/Order [42]
FOIA Project Annotation: After considering a serious challenge by a former CIA employee to the agency's claim that it cannot provide records in electronic formats without huge costs, Judge Beryl Howell has indicated that further briefing on the issue is probably pointless and that the parties will either have to agree to discovery or to hold a hearing. Howell recognized "the substantial costs in time and resources that may be incurred by both parties in the pursuit of standard discovery, such as document demands, interrogatories, and depositions. The parties may prefer to short-circuit an extensive discovery process and instead proceed directly to an evidentiary hearing to resolve the outstanding material factual disputes." She added that "although it is possible that deposition transcripts might provide the requisite material needed to resolve the factual disputes at issue, the voluminous briefing and multiple declarations filed by the defendant in at least two cases before this Court on this very issue tends to belie that conclusion." The case involved several FOIA requests filed by former CIA employee Jeffrey Scudder for electronic copies of a number of Studies in Intelligence articles that Scudder contended, based on his personal experience, the agency had already prepared in electronic format. The agency responded by indicating that the records requested by Scudder were not readily reproducible in that format and even if it were able to produce the information electronically the costs involved would be more than printing all the articles out on paper. Howell explained that she first needed to determine whether there were material facts remaining in dispute that would preclude summary judgment based on the existing court record. Pointing to several cases in which the D.C. Circuit had ruled that a hearing would be required to resolve disputes over the confidentiality of records under Exemption 4 (confidential business information), Howell observed that "the process of determining the applicability of Exemption 4 to withhold a responsive document shares one important similarity with determining whether an agency must disclose documents in an electronic format: namely, both inquiries trigger a fact-based analysis. . .[W]hile FOIA cases generally turn on application of law to undisputed material facts set out in agency affidavits, courts may occasionally confront contested questions of fact that must be answered first. The meaning of 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(3)(B) and its key phrase of 'readily reproducible' sets the parameters for such a factual inquiry." Reflecting on the difference in the parties' positions, Howell noted that "the parties to the instant matter agree on this point regarding the fact-based nature of the 'readily reproducible' inquiry, but simply discount or reject outright the evidence presented by the other side about whether this FOIA requirement is met in this case." Although case law on the meaning of "readily reproducible" is sparse, Howell indicated that TPS, Inc. v. Dept of Defense, 330 F.3d 1191 (9th Cir. 2003), was remarkably on point. In that case, a government contractor who had previously received files from the Defense Department in a "zipped" format, made a FOIA request for a zipped file. The agency denied the request, contending that "readily reproducible" meant that the format was used commonly enough to be considered "business as usual" and that zipped files did not qualify under that definition. The Ninth Circuit held that the plaintiff's declaration was sufficient to raise a question as to whether the agency could provide records in a zipped file format. Howell pointed out that "the situation described by the TPS, Inc. court is precisely the situation described in the instant matter: the plaintiff alleges that the requested records already exist and are maintained in the exact format requested by the plaintiff and that the defendant has provided such records, in such a format, to others. Despite the defendant's claims of incapability and incapacity, the defendant has not established through 'specific, compelling evidence' that complying with the plaintiff's request would constitute 'significant interference or burden' in the face of the plaintiff's contrary factual assertions, which are predicated on deep personal knowledge." Scudder argued that the agency was required to disclose records in the format of the requester's choice if it were "technically feasible." Howell disagreed, noting that "the defendant is correct that 'it cannot be that "readily reproducible" simply means technical capability or feasibility.'" While pointing out that the term "technically feasible" appeared in a separate provision of FOIA, Howell indicated that "the plaintiff is partially correct that the common sense meaning of the word 'reproducible,' standing alone, is synonymous with 'technically feasible,' yet, just because an agency has the technical capability to reproduce responsive records in the requested format, the agency is not automatically obligated to do so under 5 U.S.C. §552(a)(3)(B). That obligation turns on the meaning of the full term 'readily reproducible.' The defendant too, is partially correct in that 'readily' does imply that an agency is relieved of its obligation to fulfill a format request that is onerous, but the defendant ignores the second sentence in 5 U.S.C. §552(a)(3)(B), which informs the meaning of 'readily' in the first sentence of this subsection: 'Each agency shall make reasonable efforts to maintain its records in forms or formats that are reproducible for purposes of this section.'. . .It is in disregarding the full meaning of this second sentence, when read in conjunction with the first, that the defendant errs." Howell explained that "the second sentence amplifies the importance of the requirement set out in the first sentence and imposes an over-arching obligation on federal agencies to be proactive ins satisfying format requests. . .[T]he second sentence requires an agency to take affirmative steps to maintain its records in a form that would be readily reproducible in response to FOIA requests for 'any form or format.' The defendant's position that this subsection limits an agency's obligation to honor format requests to only existing formats ignores the plain statutory text in the subsection's first sentence as well as the proactive admonition in the subsection's second sentence." She added that "this is not the law. If the records are 'readily reproducible' in the requested format, the agency must honor the request." The agency argued that because courts were to give substantial deference to agency determinations concerning the reproducibility of records in other formats its conclusion should be considered correct. But Howell pointed out that "such deference does not amount to a blanket exemption from judicial review of the agency's justification for declining to comply with a specific format request or failing to maintain records in readily reproducible formats. . ." She noted that "the defendant's position is that records are never 'readily reproducible' in electronic format from this agency. . .The defendant's position is difficult, if not impossible, to reconcile with the statutory language of 5 U.S.C. §552(a)(3)(B), particularly since the defendant itself created the security procedures it now says make the production of documents in electronic format 'prohibitively time consuming and costly.'" She observed that "taken as a whole, the plaintiff's serious allegations challenging the accuracy and veracity of the defendant's declarations have raised sufficient concern to overcome the 'substantial weight' this Court must afford the defendant's declarations under 5 U.S.C. §552(a)(3)(B)."
Issues: Choice of format
Opinion/Order [64]
FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Beryl Howell has ruled that the CIA properly withheld 167 articles from its journal Studies in Intelligence and redacted an additional 10 articles under Exemption 1 (national security) in response to a request by Jeffrey Scudder, a former senior IT project manager at the CIA whose original request encompassed 2,000 articles from SII. Scudder claimed the CIA's Vaughn index was too vague and uninformative for him to challenge. Noting that the Vaughn index had to be read alongside its declaration, Howell pointed out that the agency's affidavits "show that the withheld information meets the requirements of E.O. 13526. Not only does the declarant explain how the withheld information meets the procedural requirements of E.O. 13526, the declarations and Vaughn indices, taken together, adequately detail how each withheld document and redacted material includes information about sources and methodsâ€"including information about foreign liaisons and governments, cover field installationsâ€"as well as specific intelligence activities." Based on his experiences at the CIA, Scudder argued that the agency had approved of disclosure of 133 of the articles, but had never followed through. Howell observed that "effectively, the plaintiff is asking the Court to second-guess the CIA's classification determination." She pointed out that "the plaintiff does not have, or purport to have, original classification authority. Consequently, his personal opinions and recollections are insufficient to create a genuine issue of material fact with respect to whether the articles withheld are classified." Scudder claimed that disclosure of the name of the author of one article suggested that there was no harm in disclosing the name of the author in conjunction with another article. However, Howell indicated that "the mere fact that an author's name is unclassified in one context does not imply that the same name is not classified in another context." Howell also rejected Scudder's argument that the topics of certain articles were silly or banal and did not require protection. But Howell pointed out that "the CIA has provided reasonably detailed descriptions about each of these articles that show that the articles contain material that cannot be released without jeopardizing sensitive and classified information."
