F0!A SEARCH INSTRUCTIONS: The following instructions and cossnents are to be used in searching for records and processing FOIA requests.
1.
Scope of Search: As a general rule, a search is adequate when all records located which individuals familiar with the subject matter of the request can reasonably be expected to find in a reasonable amount of i
4 time. The staff does not have to look into every conceivable file for records subject to a request, but the staff likely to be familiar with the subject matter must be consulted, and those files likely to contain j
records must be reviewed.
f 2.
Agency Records:
2 s.
A request applies only to records in. existence on the date the request is received by NRC.
"In existence' includes records in a j
computer data file. Even though a copy of the computer data file may be subject, no new programming is required to extract the dets.
l However, if the information is retrievable by use of an existing print program the subject information can be provided by printout.
(Records created after a request is received by NRC may be made 4
available as a matter of discretion with the staff, i.e., if the additional records are necessary to provide a complete picture of a i
situation or to avoid possible astiguity.)
E b.
If the requested information does not exist in record or computer format at the time a request is received, there is no obligation under the F0!A to create a record in order to be responsive to the request.
j.
c.
If records have been destroyed prior to the receipt of the request, i
there is no obligation under the FDIA to tell the requester what was destroyed, when it was destroyed or why it was destroyed.
- Note, however, that no records may be destroyed after a request is a
received.
d.
If a request also asks for all records created in connection with the processing of the request, it is not necessary to make these records available since the records were not in existence at the time the request was received.
The F0!A imposes no obligation on staff offices to retain such records.
(However, there may be a separate, later request, for these records).
e.
If a request asks for records maintained at a person's residence, l
and a staff member has any question as to whether the records are personal records or agency records, the staff member should contact i
the FOIA Branch.
(Normally records maintained at a person's residence are not " agency records").
3.
Reporting search and Review Time' and Duplicationt An enclosed report fars is to be completed for all applicable processing time and returned to the FOIA Branch with your response to the request.
