FAA-

This is an appeal of the decision to close FOIA request 2015-000407 made by William Crozier in a letter dated Nov. 30, 2015.

Crozier's decision flies in the face of government transparency and accountability.

The agency has already had the request for 14 months. The decision to close the request and give a vague answer about some future posting to the Internet is gross misconduct. Stop stalling - release the documents.
