Re: Freedom of Information/Privacy Act Request No. 2015SMS27906

Dear Requester:

The United States Marshals Service (USMS) is responding to your request information regarding “(1) the most recent duty roster for all employees provided by the Contractor (lines 31-34, C16); (2) the Contractor Personnel Policy Manual (Lines 34-35, C21); (3) any copies of the Contractor’s overall written training programs (Lines 41-42, C21; Lines 1-5, 13-15, C22); (4) all employee certifications submitted for approval to the COTR and the USMS (Lines 20-25, C23); and (5) OPM Forms 85P-S for the last five employees for which it was applicable (Lines 30-32, C23).”

Pursuant to items 1, 2, and 3 of your request, the USMS conducted a search of the Eastern District of New York and located no records responsive to your request.
With respect to items 4 and 5 of your request, absent a written release from the subject(s) of your request, your request is denied pursuant to exemption (b)(7)(C) of the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552(b). Exemption 7(C) allows an agency to withhold records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes to the extent that their production could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. A discretionary release of such records or information, if they exist, would be in violation of the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a. See also United States Department of Justice v. Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, 489 U.S. 749 (1989).

If you are dissatisfied with my action on this request, you may appeal by writing to the Director, Office of Information Policy (OIP), United States Department of Justice, Suite 11050, 1425 New York Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20530-0001. Your appeal must be received by OIP within 60 days of the date of this letter. Both the letter and the envelope should be clearly marked “Freedom of Information/ Privacy Act Appeal.” In the event you are dissatisfied with the results of any such appeal, judicial review will thereafter be available to you in the United States District Court for the judicial district in which you reside or have your principal place of business, or in the District of Columbia.

For your information, Congress excluded three discrete categories of law enforcement and national security records from the requirements of the FOIA. See 5 U.S.C. 552(c ) (2006 & Supp. IV (2010)). This response is limited to those records that are subject to the requirements of the FOIA. This is a standard notification that is given to all our requesters and should not be taken as an indication that excluded records do, or do not, exist.

Sincerely,

William E. Bordley
