Agency records subject to the request are enclosed.
Records subject to the request that contain information originated by or of interest to another Federal agency have been referred to that agency (See Part I.D -- Comments) for a disclosure determination and direct response to you.
We are continuing to process your request.
See Part I.D -- Comments.
PART I.A -- FEES AMOUNT You will be billed by NRC for the amount indicated.
You will receive a refund for the amount indicated.
Fees waived.
Since the minimum fee threshold was not met, you will not be charged fees.
Due to our delayed response, you will not be charged search and/or duplication fees that would otherwise be applicable to your request.
PART I.B -- INFORMATION NOT LOCATED OR WITHHELD FROM DISCLOSURE We did not locate any agency records responsive to your request. Note: Agencies may treat three discrete categories of law enforcement and national security records as not subject to the FOIA ("exclusions"). See 5 U.S.C. 552(c). This is a standard notification given to all requesters; it should not be taken to mean that any excluded records do, or do not, exist.
We have withheld certain information pursuant to the FOIA exemptions described, and for the reasons stated, in Part II.
Because this is an interim response to your request, you may not appeal at this time. We will notify you of your right to appeal any of the responses we have issued in response to your request when we issue our final determination.
You may appeal this final determination within 90 calendar days of the date of this response. If you submit an appeal by mail, address it to the FOIA Officer, at U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Mail Stop T-6 A60M, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001.

Response
Type 1
Your request, as originally submitted, sought "any records and documents - including but not limited to emails, memoranda, notes, electronic chat messages and calendar items - that include any of the following words/terms in either uppercase or lower case form: Donald, Trump, Kamala, Musk, Elon, DJT, D.J.T, MAGA, fascist, fascism, authoritarian, authoritarianism, autocrat, dictator, commie, deep state, swamp, Project 2025, J6, bitch, fuck, fucked, shit" for the date range, November 4-9, 2024.
Upon receipt of your request on November 26, 2024, we reached out to you to discuss your request. We informed you that the NRC would not maintain electronic chat messages dating back to November 4-9, 2024. With respect to any emails that may be responsive, you agreed that emails containing any of the four pejorative words would only be responsive if the emails also contained one of the first 19 words/terms enumerated in your request, given that your request is in furtherance of reporting you are working on about government officials' reactions to the result of the 2024 election. You also agreed that emails that circulate newsletters or other publications that contain one or more of the words/terms you identified, without commentary offered about that newsletter/publication, would not be responsive to your request.
Based upon the above, the NRC did not identify any records responsive to your request.
