Evers American Oversight 1030 15th St, NW Ste B255 Washington, DC 20002 Dear Mr. Evers: On March 13, 2017, you filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking the following: 1. 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, please consider any employee in a PAS position, a presidentially-appointed position, a noncareer SES position, or a Schedule C position a “political appointee.” 2. 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. 3. 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). 4. For each individual identified in response to requests 1 to 3: a. 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. We 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. Mr. Austin R. Evers Employment, education, and professional association information is not exempt and we object to any redactions of such information. b. Any conflicts or ethics waivers or authorizations issued for the individual, including authorizations pursuant to 5 C.F.R. § 2635.502. 5. Records sufficient to identify the members of the “landing teams” or “transition teams” who were embedded with the agency for transition purposed by the Trump transition organization between the November 2016 election and the Trump administration. On March 21, 2017, we acknowledged your request and advised you of your fee status under the FOIA. We are writing today to respond to parts 1, 3, and 4a. Please find attached one file consisting of 77 pages. Of those 77 pages, 21 are being released in their entirety and 56 pages contain redactions as described below. Portions of the enclosed documents have been redacted pursuant to Exemption 6 of the FOIA (5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6)) because they fit certain categories of information: Names Addresses E-Mails Phone numbers Personal Information Exemption 6 allows an agency to withhold “personnel and medical files and similar files the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” The courts have held that the phrase “similar files” involves all information that applies to a particular person. Hertzberg v. Veneman, 273 F. Supp. 2d 67, 85 n.11 (D.D.C. 2003). To determine whether releasing requested information would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, we are required to perform a “balancing test.” This means that we must weigh the individual’s right to privacy against the public’s right to disclosure. (1) (2) (3) First, we must determine whether the individual has a discernable privacy interest in the information that has been requested. Next, we must determine whether release of this information would serve “the public interest generally” (i.e., would “shed light on the performance of the agency's statutory duties”). Finally, we must determine whether the public interest in disclosure is greater than the privacy interest of the individual in withholding. The information that we are withholding consists of personal information, and we have determined that the individuals to whom this information pertains have a substantial privacy Mr. Austin R. Evers interest in it. Additionally, we have determined that the disclosure of this information would shed little or no light on the performance of the agency’s statutory duties and that, on balance, the public interest to be served by its disclosure does not outweigh the privacy interest of the individuals in question, in withholding it. Nat’l Ass’n of Retired Fed. Employees v. Horner, 879 F.2d 873, 879 (D.C. Cir. 1989). In summation, we have determined that release of the information that we have withheld would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of the privacy of these individuals, and that it therefore may be withheld, pursuant to Exemption 6. Leisa Schwab, Attorney-Advisor, in the Office of the Solicitor, was consulted in reaching his decision. Clarice Julka, Office of the Secretary FOIA Officer, is responsible for making this decision. For parts 2, 4b, and 5, we believe the records you seek may be found within the Office of the Solicitor (SOL). You may want to file a separate request with SOL.

United States Department of the Interior OFFICE OF THE SOLICITOR Washington, D.C. 20240 August 31, 2017 Austin R. Evers American Oversight 1030 15th Street, NW Ste B255 Washington, DC 20002 Dear Mr. Evers: This is in response to your Department of the Interior Of?ce of the Secretary Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request (OS-2017-00332), dated March 13, 2017, in which you requested: 1. Records suf?cient 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, please consider any employee in a PAS position, a presidentially-appointed position, a noncareer SES position, or a Schedule position a ?political appointee.? Records suf?cient to identify all career employees who have been detailed into a leadership of?ce or component front of?ce 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 suf?cient 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 identi?ed in response to requests 1 to 3: a. 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. We 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. b. Any con?icts or ethics waivers or authorizations issued for the individual, including authorizations pursuant to 5 C.F.R. 2635.502. 5. Records suf?cient to identify the members of the ?landing teams? or ?transition teams? who were embedded with the agency for transition purposed by the Trump transition organization between the November 2016 election and the Trump administration. On June 7, 2017 the Of?ce of the Secretary FOIA Of?ce responded with respect to parts 1, 3, and 4a, and informed you that records responsive to parts 2, 4b, and 5 might be found with the Department?s Of?ce of the Solicitor. We are writing to respond to those parts 2 and 5 of your request on behalf of the Department, as well as part 4a as it relates to individuals identi?ed in part 2. As to part 4b, the Department of the Interior has no records responsive to this request. We have attached 3 ?les consisting of 191 pages which are being released to you in part. Of those 191 pages, approximately 107 pages are being released in their entirety and approximately 84 pages contain redactions as described below. Portions of the enclosed documents have been redacted pursuant to Exemption 6 of the FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6)) because they fit certain categories of information: Names Addresses Emails Addresses Phone Numbers Grade Point Averages Non-federal Salaries Religious Affiliation Personal Information Exemption 6 allows an agency to withhold ?personnel and medical ?les and similar ?les the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.? 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6). The phrase ?similar ?les? covers any agency records containing information about a particular individual that can be identi?ed as applying to that individual. To determine whether releasing records containing information about a particular individual would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, we are required to balance the privacy interest that would be affected by disclosure against any public interest in the information. Under the FOIA, the only relevant public interest to consider under the exemption is the extent to which the information sought would shed light on an agency?s performance of its statutory duties or otherwise let citizens know what their government is up to. The burden is on the requester to establish that disclosure would serve the public interest. When the privacy interest at stake and the public interest in disclosure have been determined, the two competing interests must be weighed against one another to determine which is the greater result of disclosure: the harm to personal privacy or the bene?t to the public. The purposes for which the request for information is made do not impact this balancing test, as a release of information requested under the FOIA constitutes a release to the general public. The information that has been withheld under Exemption 6 consists of personal information and we have determined that the individuals to whom this information pertains have a substantial privacy interest in withholding it. Additionally, we have determined that the disclosure of this information would shed little or no light on the performance of the agency?s statutory duties. Because the harm to personal privacy is greater than whatever public interest may be served by disclosure, release of the information would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of the privacy of these individuals and we are withholding it under Exemption 6. lfyou have questions or concerns, please contact litigation counsel on this matter: R.
