A group called America Rising said it submitted a FOIA request on July 12 to NPRC for: "access to certain records contained in the official civilian personnel file of former federal employee Abigail Spanberger. Specifically, this request seeks records reflecting Ms. Spanberger’s employment dates, annual salaries, title, and position description.” The group says three days later its request was forwarded to the USPS, the former employer of Ms. Spanberger. Can you help me understand how the request was received, if NARA/NPRC produced any records in response to the request, and to whom the request was forwarded for further processing? https://records.zlticloud.com/ps/PmApp/zlp_dummy?tk=LPICEFG42OCW133UPNXMSQ... 9/12/2018 Page 2 of 2 In addition, does NARA require an individual to authorize the release of their Official Personnel Folders, and did Ms. Spanberger provide this authorization?

When a request is received, the requester is notified that the NPRC does not process requests for information contained in USPS OPFs and that the file will be sent to the USPS to handle. NARA/NPRC does not have legal custody for any Federal Civilian OPFs after 1951, but in most cases we store the files for OPM or the agency (https://www.archives.gov/personnel-records-center/civilian-non-archival). NPRC does process some basic FOIA requests for non-archival military personnel and OPM records; however, we do not do this for USPS as our arrangement with the USPS is to ship requested OPFs to them for review and processing. More about FOIA and NPRC is here: https://www.archives.gov/personnel-records-center/foia-info I am copying Krista Boyd on this note since I spoke with her earlier this morning.

The National Personnel Records Center is comprised of two different divisions; military personnel records and civilian personnel records. The Civilian Personnel Records (CPR) facility stores over 2 million cubic feet of civilian personnel and related records. It responds to ~ 45,000 correspondence requests each year, many of which involve textual records in its holdings and others which involve accessing electronic systems of the Office of Personnel Management and the United States Postal Service. Most of the requests that it services come from former federal civilian employees and other federal agencies. Of the 45,000 requests it services each year, less than 1% are FOIA requests. FY 18 YTD it has serviced only 263 FOIA requests. Sometimes a request includes multiple subjects. For example, one person might submit a single FOIA request for records pertaining to multiple individuals. In counting its FOIA requests, CPR tallies each subject as a different request. So the YTD figure of 263 represents the number of different subjects of FOIA requests. The actual number of requests may be a little lower. Also, the 263 FOIA requests include every request in which the requester cites FOIA. Sometimes people cite FOIA unnecessarily. For example, someone may be requesting their own record and although it is releasable to them, they cite FOIA anyhow. The figure of 263 FOIA requests serviced YTD includes every instance in which someone cited FOIA. So some reference transactions may be tallied as a FOIA, but our response may have been to send the record instead of refer it because FOIA was cited unnecessarily and the records were releasable to the requester. Of the 263 FOIA requests serviced year-to-date, only 21 pertained to USPS records. Again, these 21 may have included instances where the request did not come from a third party and an individual unnecessarily cited FOIA. In these instances, it was tallied as a FOIA nonetheless. Most of the reference services provided by CPR involve records that are owned by OPM. CPR staff service FOIA requests on behalf of OPM by extracting releasable information from the records and preparing a releasable transcript. Some non-OPM agencies have special processes in place for responding to requests for records they own. These agencies include: ACTION Agency for International Development (AID) Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation Services (ASCS) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS) Arms Control Disarmament Agency (ACDA) District of Columbia Government Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Foreign Agriculture Service (FAS) Foreign Nationals General Accounting Office (GAO) National Security Agency (NSA) Non-Appropriated Fund (NAF) Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Peace Corps State Department Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) United States Information Agency (USIA) United States Postal Service (USPS) VA Title 38 Employees White House Office The longstanding process in place for responding to USPS FOIA requests is for CPR staff to refer the original record along with a copy of the FOIA request to the USPS for servicing. The specific address to which we send these materials is: U.S.Postal Service General Manager Corporate Personnel Management 475 L'Enfant Plaza, SW, Room 1831 Washington, DC 20260-4261 This is the address that we have in our directive on Restrictions and Release Policies for Official Personnel Folders (last updated in 2007). This is address to which we have sent USPS referrals for many years. This is the address to which we sent the referral involving Ms. Spanberger. Late this a?emoon, in response to the FOIA request involving Spanberger, the USPS reached out to Kim Gentile to indicate that it would like to change the address on a point-forward basis to avoid a re-occurrence. We will of course work with them to effect that change. In terms of agreements, we have two di?mt agreements with the USPS. One is a national-level agreement (attached - unsigned, draft agreement for FY 19.) meaning it is managed at our headun level. It includes high-level descriptions of services we provide for USPS (storage, accessioning, disposal, reference, re?les,and inter?les). It also includes information about rates and billing. The service level descriptions are at a high level; it does not include references to speci?c types of reference, like how to route FOIA requests. The second agreement we have with USPS is a local agreement to provide order ful?llment services to support the USPS with responding to requests for hard copies of The requests come ?om the USPS itself (usually on behalfof current USPS employees) or by other agencies. We download, print, and mail documents on behalf of the USPS. The FOIA involving Spanberger did not involve an it was an original textual record retrieved ??om CPR holdings and to the USPS. Ifyou have any additional questions or need anything else, don't hesitate to call. I hope this information is helpful. Good luck tomorrow.

The request is attached. Following the request is a table which indicates how our staff will respond to each request. For requests in which we do not have a record, we will issue a negative response to the requester. For requests in which we have a record, and the record indicates that it was retired by the Executive Office of the President, we will refer the request with the records to the Executive Office of the President. However, given the media attention over the Spanberger request, before we send any records, we will reach out to the Executive Office of the President in advance to to reaffirm our longstanding process, and make sure they are aware of the request and in agreement with how we are handling it. The request from CNN also includes some individuals whose records were retired from Dept of Justice. Dept of Justice records are handled under the procedures we follow for OPM-owned records. That is, we respond on behalf of OPM by extracting FOIA-releasable information and using it to prepare a releasable transcript of service. Before we release the response, however, we will communicate with OPM (this has already begun) to reaffirm our longstanding process, and make sure they are aware of the request and in agreement with how we are handling it. -Scott A.

The National Personnel Records Center is comprised of two different divisions; military personnel records and civilian personnel records. The Civilian Personnel Records (CPR) facility stores over 2 million cubic feet of civilian personnel and related records. It responds to ~ 45,000 correspondence requests each year, many of which involve textual records in its holdings and others which involve accessing electronic systems of the Office of Personnel Management and the United States Postal Service. Most of the requests that it services come from former federal civilian employees and other federal agencies. Of the 45,000 requests it services each year, less than 1% are FOIA requests. FY 18 YTD it has serviced only 263 FOIA requests. Sometimes a request includes multiple subjects. For example, one person might submit a single FOIA request for records pertaining to multiple individuals. In counting its FOIA requests, CPR tallies each subject as a different request. So the YTD figure of 263 represents the number of different subjects of FOIA requests. The actual number of requests may be a little lower. Also, the 263 FOIA requests include every request in which the requester cites FOIA. Sometimes people cite FOIA unnecessarily. For example, someone may be requesting their own record and although it is releasable to them, they cite FOIA anyhow. The figure of 263 FOIA requests serviced YTD includes every instance in which someone cited FOIA. So some reference transactions may be tallied as a FOIA, but our response may have been to send the record instead of refer it because FOIA was cited unnecessarily and the records were releasable to the requester. Of the 263 FOIA requests serviced year-to-date, only 21 pertained to USPS records. Again, these 21 may have included instances where the request did not come from a third party and an individual unnecessarily cited FOIA. In these instances, it was tallied as a FOIA nonetheless. Most of the reference services provided by CPR involve records that are owned by OPM. CPR staff service FOIA requests on behalf of OPM by extracting releasable information from the records and preparing a releasable transcript. Some non-OPM agencies have special processes in place for responding to requests for records they own. These agencies include: ACTION Agency for International Development (AID) Agricultme Stabilization and Conservation Services (ASCS) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS) Arms Control Disarmament Agency (ACDA) Disuict of Columbia Government Federal Bureau of Investigation Foreign Agriculture Service (FAS) Foreign Nationals General Accounting O?iee (GAO) National Security Agency (N SA) Non-Appropriated Fund Nuclear Regulatory Commission Peace Corps State Department Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) United States Information Agency (USIA) United States Postal Service (USPS) VA Title 38 Employees White House O?ice The longstanding process in place for responding to USPS FOIA requests is for CPR staff to refer the original record along with a copy of the FOIA request to the USPS for servicing. The speci?c address to which we send these materials is: U.S.Posta Service General Manager Corporate Personnel Management 475 L'Enfant Plaza. SW. Room 1831 Washington, DC 20260-4261 This is the address that we have in our directive on Restrictions and Release Policies for O?cial Personnel Folders (last updated in 2007). This is address to which we have sent USPS referrals for many years. This is the address to which we sent the referral involving Ms. Spanberger. Late this aftemoon, in response to the FOIA request involving Spanberger, the USPS reached out to Kim Gentile to indicate that it would like to change the address on a point-forward basis to avoid a re-occurrence. We will of course work with them to effect that change. In terms of agreements, we have two different agreements with the USPS. One is a national-level agreement (attached - unsigned, draft agreement for FY 19.) meaning it is managed at our headquarters level. It includes high-level descriptions of services we provide for USPS (storage, accessioning, disposal, reference, re?les,and inter?les). It also includes information about rates and billing. The service level descriptions are at a high level; it does not include references to speci?c types of reference, like how to route FOIA requests. The second agreement we have with USPS is a local agreement to provide order ful?llment services to support the USPS with responding to requests for hard copies of The requests come ??om the USPS itself (usually on behalf of current USPS employees) or by other agencies. We download, print, and mail documents on behalf of the USPS. The FOIA involving Spanberger did not involve an it was an textual record retrieved from CPR holdings and to the USPS.

A group called America Rising said it submitted a FOIA request on July 12 to NPRC for: "access to certain records contained in the official civilian personnel file of former federal employee Abigail Spanberger. Specifically, this request seeks records reflecting Ms. Spanberger’s employment dates, annual salaries, title, and position description.” The group says three days later its request was forwarded to the USPS, the former employer of Ms. Spanberger. Can you help me understand how the request was received, if NARA/NPRC produced any records in response to the request, and to whom the request was forwarded for further processing?

A group called America Rising said it submitted a FOIA request on July 12 to NPRC for: "access to certain records contained in the official civilian personnel file of former federal employee Abigail Spanberger. Specifically, this request seeks records reflecting Ms. Spanberger’s employment dates, annual salaries, title, and position description.” The group says three days later its request was forwarded to the USPS, the former employer of Ms. Spanberger. Can you help me understand how the request was received, if NARA/NPRC produced any records in response to the request, and to whom the request was forwarded for further processing? https://records.zlticloud.com/ps/PmApp/zlp_dummy?tk=LPICEFG42OCW133UPNXMSQ... 9/12/2018 Page 3 of 3 In addition, does NARA require an individual to authorize the release of their Official Personnel Folders, and did Ms. Spanberger provide this authorization?

I spoke with Scott Levins this afternoon, and he briefed me on the situation. Here's what happened: In response to a FOIA request in early July, we provided civilian personnel records of Abigail Spanberger, a former CIA officer who is now running for Congress in Virginia, to the U.S. Postal Service, one of her former employers. The NPRC followed normal procedures for this type of request. Unfortunately, the USPS apparently subsequently released her file, including her SF86 security background questionnaire, without redactions to the political group that made the FOIA request. Here are some links to news reports: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/ex-cia-officer-running-for-congress-says-gopobtained-her-unredacted-personnel-file-with-sensitive-information/2018/08/29/453b4878-ab97-11e8-a8d70f63ab8b1370 story.html http://theweek.com/speedreads/793000/postal-service-handed-gop-opposition-researchers-excia-officersprivate-federal-security-application http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-abigail-spanberger-cia-gop-20180829story.html https://records.zlticloud.com/ps/PmApp/zlp_dummy?tk=LPICEFG42OCW133UPNXMSQ... 9/12/2018 Page 2 of 2 I anticipate we'll have more queries tomorrow, and we will coordinate a response in the morning that describes our procedures for cases like these.

OPM's Retirement Operations Center, commonly referred to as Boyers because of its location in Boyers, PA, handles and stores OPM's retirement records. These are two separate records, the OPF is the record that follows an employee throughout his/her career; the retirement folder deals with the employee's retirement benefits at the end of their career. In addition to OPM (Title 5) retirements, I believe Boyers also handles retirements for other personnel system such as USPS. This is a very general explanation of Boyers and their function within OPM. -John O.
