Evers Executive Director 1030 15th Street, NW Suite B255 Washington, DC 20005 Re: 2017-HQFO-00526 Dear Mr. Evers: This is the final response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), dated and received by this office on March 13, 2017. You are seeking records sufficient to identify all employees who entered into a position at the agency as “political appointees” since January 20, 2017, and the title or position of each employee (to the extent that such individuals have held multiple titles or positions since January 20, 2017, identify each title or position). For purposes of this request, you asked us to consider the following:  Any employee in a PAS position, a presidentially-appointed position, a noncareer SES position, or a Schedule C position a “political appointee;” records sufficient to identify all career employees who have been detailed into a leadership office or component front office since January 20, 2017;  The title or position of each employee while on detail (to the extent that such individuals have held multiple titles or positions since January 20, 2017, identify each title or position); and each employee’s originating agency or component, and title;  Records sufficient to identify the members of the “beachhead teams” who joined the agency at the beginning of the Trump administration, and the title or position of each employee (to the extent that such individuals have held multiple titles or positions since January 20, 2017, identify each title or position);  For each individual identified in response to requests 1 to 3: the resume provided by the individual to the agency in connection with determining the appropriate salary for the individual, or, if that is not available, a recent resume contained within the agency’s records. You have no objection to the redaction of contact information (addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses) for the employee or references, or to the redaction of past salary information; employment, education, and professional association information is not exempt and we object to any redactions of such information; any conflicts or ethics waivers or authorizations issued for the individual, including authorizations pursuant to 5 C.F.R. § 2635.502; records sufficient to identify the members of the “landing teams” or “transition teams” who were embedded with the agency for transition purposes by the Trump transition organization between the November 2016 election and the Trump administration. A search of DHS’s Office of Chief Human Capital Officer (OCHCO) and Transition Team for records responsive to your request produced 147 pages that are responsive to your request. After review of those documents, I have determined that 92 pages are released in their entirety and portions of 55 pages are withheld pursuant to Title 5 U.S.C. § 552, (b)(6), FOIA Exemption 6. Enclosed are 147 pages with certain information withheld as described below. FOIA Exemption 6 exempts from disclosure of personnel or medical files and similar files the release of which would cause a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. This requires a balancing of the public’s right to disclosure against the individual’s right to privacy. The privacy interests of the individuals in the records you have requested outweigh any minimal public interest in disclosure of the information. Any private interest you may have in that information does not factor into the aforementioned balancing test. You have a right to appeal the above withholding determination. Should you wish to do so, you must send your appeal and a copy of this letter, within 90 days of the date of this letter, to: Privacy Office, Attn: FOIA Appeals, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 245 Murray Lane, SW, Mail Stop 0655, Washington, D.C. 20528-0655, following the procedures outlined in the DHS FOIA regulations at 6 C.F.R. Part 5 § 5.8. Your envelope and letter should be marked “FOIA Appeal.” Copies of the FOIA and DHS FOIA regulations are available at www.dhs.gov/foia. If you need any further assistance or would like to discuss any aspect of your request, please contact the analyst below who processed your request and refer to 2017-HQFO-00526. You may send an e-mail to foia@hq.dhs.gov, call 202-343-1743 or toll free 1-866-431-0486, or you may contact our FOIA Public Liaison in the same manner. Additionally, you have a right to right to seek dispute resolution services from the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) which mediates disputes between FOIA requesters and Federal agencies as a non-exclusive alternative to litigation. If you are requesting access to your own records (which is considered a Privacy Act request), you should know that OGIS does not have the authority to handle requests made under the Privacy Act of 1974.
