IN REPLY REFER TO:
3<0 SEP 2010
The Joint Personnel Recovery Agency (JPRA), a subordinate command of U.S. Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM), received your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request (Attachment I), dated 15 August 2010, for a copy of the JPRA FOIA Case Log from I January 2001 to the present. Your request was received by JPRA, on 15 August 2010, and was assigned case number JFCOMFOIA 57-10.
JPRA conducted a search and produced eleven (11) pages of records responsive to your request (Attachment 2). Portions of these records are withheld under 5 U.S.C. § 552 (b )(3) which applies to information specifically prohibited from disclosure by another statute (specifically 10 U.S.c. § 424 and 50 U.S.C § 403 (g)), or 5 U.S.c. § 552 (b)(6) which applies to information that would constitute an unwarranted invasion of an individual's privacy if disclosed.
Please be advised that JPRA does not maintain a FOIA Log past Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 because the FOIA programs of the USJFCOM subordinate commands, directorates, and staff sections were consolidated into a centralized command-wide FOIA program in October 2009. Therefore, in an effort to provide full disclosure, Attachment 3 is the USJFCOM FY 2010 FOIA Log which includes any FOIA requests received by JPRA. Portions of this record are also withheld under 5 U.S.c. § 552 (b)(6).
No fees are assessed for this response. Please be advised, however, that fee categories, fee waivers, and fee determinations are made on a case-by-case basis, and previous determinations are not considered when making future determinations.
Please contact Lieutenant Colonel Paul Brandau at (757) 836-6415 if you have any questions regarding this response. In the alternative, you have the right to appeal this response to the Director of Administration and Management, Office of the Secretary of Defense. Your appeal must be in writing and addressed to: Director, Defense Freedom of Information Policy Office, Attn: Mr. James Hogan, 1155 Defense Pentagon, Washington, D.C. 20301-1155. The appeal must be postmarked no later than 60 calendar days after the date of this letter. A copy of this letter should be attached to your appeal, along with a statement regarding why your appeal
should be granted. It is recommended that the letter of appeal and the envelope both bear the notation: "Freedom of Information Act Appeal."
