Attention: Anthony Roberts

This is in response to your June 1, 2022, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) seeking,

"All documents concerning Arimistane (also called "ANDROSTA-3,5-DIENE-7,17-DIONE") that have been composed, created, produced, sent, or received, between the dates of May 10th, 2016, and May 17th, 2022."

Attached are documents responsive to your request. Your request is granted in part. After a thorough review of the responsive records, we have determined that portions of the documents are exempt from disclosure under FOIA exemptions (b)(5) of the FOIA 5 U.S.C. § 552, as amended and delineated below.

* Exemption (b)(5) permits the withholding of inter-agency or intra-agency communications records which are part of the deliberative process and pre-decisional. Disclosure of such material could inhibit the open and candid expression of opinions and diminish the quality of the decision-making process.

In determining to withhold such information, FDA considered 5 USC 552(a)(8)(i), when applicable, and whether FDA reasonably foresees that disclosure of such information would harm an interest protected by the relevant exemption(s) and whether disclosure is prohibited by law.

CFSAN considers your request closed. You have the right to appeal this determination. Your appeal should clearly identify the agency determination that is being appealed. It would be helpful if you provide specific reasons explaining why you believe the agency's adverse determination should be reconsidered. By filing an appeal, you preserve your rights under FOIA and give the agency a chance to review and reconsider your request and the agency's decision. Your appeal must be mailed within 90 days from the date of this response, to: Director, Office of the Executive Secretariat, U.S. Food & Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Room 1050, Rockville, MD 20857, or emailed within 90 days from the date of this response to FDAFOIA@fda.hhs.gov<mailto:FDAFOIA@fda.hhs.gov>. Please clearly mark both the envelope and your letter "FDA Freedom of Information Act Appeal."

If you would like to discuss our response before filing an appeal to attempt to resolve your dispute without going through the appeals process, please contact Dillon.Ainsworth@fda.hhs.gov<mailto:Dillon.Ainsworth@fda.hhs.gov> or by telephone 240-402-1947. You may also contact the FDA FOIA Public Liaison for assistance at: Office of the Executive Secretariat, US Food & Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Room 1050, Rockville, MD 20857, E-mail: FDAFOIA@fda.hhs.gov<mailto:FDAFOIA@fda.hhs.gov>.

If you are unable to resolve your FOIA dispute through our FOIA Public Liaison, the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS), the Federal FOIA Ombudsman's office, offers mediation services to help resolve disputes between FOIA requesters and Federal agencies. The contact information for OGIS is as follows: Office of Government Information Services, National Archives and Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road-OGIS, College Park, MD 20740-6001; telephone at 202-741-5770; toll free at 1-877-684-6448; or facsimile at 202-741-5769; e-mail at ogis@nara.gov<mailto:ogis@nara.gov>.
