RESPONSE TO FREEDOM OF 2022-000097 1 INFORMATION ACT (FOIA) REQUEST RESPONSE TYPE INTERIM FINAL PART I.D -- COMMENTS Upon receipt of your request, a copy of which is enclosed, we searched our information management system to identify the first 5 FOIA adverse determinations (i.e., full denial, partial denial, Glomar denial, or no record responses) processed for each of the seven fiscal years you identified, FY2016-2021. Most of the responsive FOIA requests (including the incoming request, NRC determination, and any released records) are already publicly available in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System [ADAMS], which is the NRC's official recordkeeping system.
