Dear Mr. Carboni
This email serves as a response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for a copy of the TACOM FOIA log for the years 2005 through 2013.
Attached are the logs you requested minus individual's names that are considered exempt from release under exemption (b)(6) which permits the government to withhold all information about individuals in “personnel and medical files and similar files” when the disclosure of such information “would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” This requires a balancing of the public’s right to disclosure against the individual’s right to privacy. See Dep’t of the Air Force v. Rose, 425 U.S. 352, 372 (1976). If a privacy interest is found to exist, the public interest in disclosure, if any, must be weighed against the privacy interest in nondisclosure. If no public interest exists, the information should be protected; as the D.C. Circuit has observed, “something, even a modest privacy interest, outweighs nothing every time.” Nat’l Ass’n of Retired Fed. Employees v. Horner, 879 F.2d 873, 879 (D.C. cir. 1989)
I do not have the authority to deny information in whole or in part. Please notify this office within ten (10) working days if you still request the deleted information. I will forward the information and my basis for recommending denial to the Initial Denial Authority, Mr. David L Kuhn, for a decision on the releasibility of the requested information
Under the provisions of DOD Regulation, 5400.7-R, as amended May 2002, there were no assessable fees associated with this request
