Review
Review means the time devoted to examining records located in response to a request to determine whether any portion is exempt from disclosure. Review consists of the time for processing any record for disclosure, including ensuring that the records produced are responsive; de-duplicating records, redacting the record and marking the appropriate exemptions; conducting inter-agency or business submitter consultations; and obtaining and considering any formal objection to disclosure made by a confidential commercial information submitter. Review costs are properly charged even if a record ultimately is not disclosed. Review does not include time spent resolving general legal or policy issues regarding the application of exemptions.
