8 November 2006
The office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator has received your
26 October 2006 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for a copy of the CIA
Inspector General's report, "CIA Accountability With Respect to the 9/11 Attacks."
We have assigned your request the reference number above. Please use this number when
corresponding so that we can identify it easily.
We received an earlier FOIA request for the same report. We will send you the
same CIA-originated record, if it is released,. once that request has been completed.
Because of our backlog, I cannot say with certainty when that will be.
For your information, the FOIA authorizes federal agencies to collect fees for
records services. However, because search and review fees are borne solely by the original
requester, you are responsible only for a reproduction charge of ten cents per page beyond
the first 100 pages, which are free.
You have requested expedited processing. We handle all requests in the order we
receive them: that is, "first-in, first-out." We make exceptions to this rule only when a
requester establishes a compelling need under the standards in our regulations. A .
"compelling need" exists: 1). when the matter involves an imminent threat to the life or
physical safety of an individual, or 2) when a person primarily engaged in disseminating
information makes the request and the information is relevant to a subject of public
urgency concerning an actual or alleged Federal government activity. Your request does
 not demonstrate a "compelling need" under these criteria and, therefore, we deny your
request for expedited processing.
We will contact you again when we have completed processing the original
request. Meanwhile, we appreciate your patience.
Sincerely,
co
Information and Privacy Coordinator
