DOE Phonebook

Dear Mr. Eaton,

We have received your FOIA request to the Department of Energy, which has been assigned the controlled number referenced above. You requested: "The DOE Phonebook that was previously available at httpa://energy.gov/doe-phonebook."

Under the FOIA, before we can process your request, you must agree to payment of fees that may be incurred or request a fee waiver. You may indicate a specific amount that you agree to pay, no less than $15.00, which is the minimum amount at which DOE assesses fees. We would advise you if we anticipate fees to exceed the amount you indicate.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Hi Mr. Eaton:

Thank you for following up on your FOIA request referenced above.

We are currently still reviewing the DOE Phonebook for personal information (i.e. personal phone numbers and personal email addresses) that must be redacted under FOIA Exemption 6. The data from the DOE Phonebook consists of a spreadsheet totaling about 1,600 pages, and each entry must be reviewed.

We currently have a member of our staff solely dedicated to this task. We are arduously working on finalizing our review, as this document is responsive to your request and to a few others seeking the same information.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions.
Best,
