NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY CENTRAL SECURITY SERVICE

FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, MARYLAND 20755-6000

FOIA Case: 100025A 29 March 201 7

This responds to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request dated 23 October 2016 which was received by this office on 31October2016, for "a copy of the MDR log from 2011 to present." For purposes of this request and based on the information you provided in your letter, you are considered an "all other" requester. As such, you are allowed 2 hours of search and the duplication of 100 pages at no cost. Since processing fees were minimal, no fees were assessed.

Your request has been processed under the FOIA, and the MDR logs from 1 January 2011 - 31 December 2016 are enclosed, along with a FOIA/MDR Case Dispositions reference sheet that explains the final case dispositions. Please be advised that the logs do not contain the number of pages released. They contain a final disposition if the case was closed at the time the logs were created. If there is no final disposition, the case was still pending at the time the logs were created. Certain information has been deleted from the enclosures.

Some of the withheld information has been found to be currently and properly classified in accordance with Executive Order 13526. The information meets the criteria for classification as set forth in Subparagraph for intelligence activities, intelligence sources or methods, or cryptology of Section 1.4 and remains classified CONFIDENTIAL as provided in Section 1.2 of Executive Order 13526. The information is classified because its disclosure could reasonably be expected to cause damage to the national security. Because the information is currently and properly classified, it is exempt from disclosure pursuant to the first exemption of the FOIA (5 U.S.C. Section 552(b)(l)).

This Agency is authorized by various statutes to protect certain information concerning its activities, as well as the names of its employees. We have determined that such information exists in these documents.

FOIA Case: 100025A

Accordingly, those portions are exempt from disclosure pursuant to the third exemption of the FOIA, which provides for the withholding of information specifically protected from disclosure by statute. The specific statute applicable in this case is Public Law 86-36 (50 U.S. Code 3605).

Personal information regarding other individuals has been deleted from the enclosures in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552 (b)(6). This exemption protects from disclosure information which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. In balancing the public interest for the information you request against the privacy interests involved, we have determined that the privacy interests sufficiently satisfy the requirements for the application of the (b)(6) exemption.

In most cases requesters seeking the FOIA logs agree to omit Privacy Act or first-party requests from the logs. Please be advised, therefore, that when processing our FOIA logs, we typically remove first party requests as nonresponsive, since they represent requests from individuals seeking information on themselves. Those entries, in addition to being exempt under (b)(6), are also marked as non-responsive.

Since these deletions may be construed as a partial denial of your request, you are hereby advised of this Agency's appeal procedures. You may appeal this decision. If you decide to appeal, you should do so in the manner outlined below.

• The appeal request must be in writing and addressed to:

NSA/CSS FOIA/PA Appeal Authority (P132) National Security Agency 9800 Savage Road STE 6932 Fort George G. Meade, MD 20755-6932

• The request must be postmarked no later than 90 calendar days of the date of this letter. Decisions appealed after 90 days will not be addressed.

• Please include the case number provided above. • Please describe with sufficient detail why you believe the denial of

information was unwarranted. • NSA will endeavor to respond within 20 working days of receiving

your appeal, absent any unusual circumstances.

You may also contact our FOIA Public Liaison at foialo(amsa.gov for any further assistance and to discuss any aspect of your request. Additionally, you
