Enclosure to FOIA Distribution Memorandum QUESTIONS: Please inform the FOIA Branch staff of your responses to the following questions within five days of your receipt of an F0IA request:

1. Does your office have agency records subject to this request? If y,es, will significant search time be required? NOTE: If expected search time exceeds two hours, do not begin search until first talking to the FOIA Branch contact.
2. Do you anticipate any significant problems in processing this request and responding in the allotted time? If so, inform the FOIA Branch contact imediately.
3. Is there any other office not listed above which might have records subject to this request? If so, inform the FOIA Branch contact immediately.

FOIA SEARCH INSTRUCTIONS: The following instructions are to be used in searching for records and processing FOIA requests:

Scope of Search

_ 1. As a general rule, a search is adequate when all records are located which individuals familiar with the subject matter of the request can reasonably be expected to find in a reasonable amount of time.

2. 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 records must be reviewed.

Agency Records

3. A request applies only to records in existence on the date the request is received by NRC. "In existence" includes records in a computer data file. Even though a copy of the computer data file may be subject, no new programming is required to extract the data. However, if the information is retrievable by use of an existing print program the subject information can be provided by printout. (Recordscreatedafter 4

a request is received by NRC may be made available as a matter of discretion with the staff, i.e., if the additional records are necessary to provide a complete

picture of a situation or to avoid possible ambiguity).

, 4. 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 F0IA to create a record in order to be responsive to the request.

5. If records have been destroyed prior to the receipt of the request, there is no obligation under the FOIA 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 received.
6. 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 FOIA imposes no obligation on staff offices to retain such records. (However,theremaybea separate,laterrequest,fortheserecords).
7. If a request asks for records maintained at a person's residence, and a staff member has any question as to whether the records are personal records or agency records, the 1

staff member should contact the FOIA Branch. (Normally records maintained at a person's residence are not " agency records").
