Mr. Mark Kling
Reference: F-2013-00532
Dear Mr. Kling:
On 4 January 2013, the office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator
received your 27 December 2012 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for records
on Robert P. Kling, M.D. We have assigned your request the reference number above.
Please use this number when corresponding so that we can identify it easily.
Although you have provided some of the identifying information required before
we can effectively search our files on an individual, we still need additional data before
we can begin processing your request. Specifically, we require the individual's full
name, date and place of birth, date and place of death, and citizenship status. Without
this data, we may be unable to distinguish between individuals with the same or similar
names. If the individual is deceased, we also require some evidence of death, such as a
death certificate, an obituary, or a press statement to ensure there are no privacy
considerations.
Agency regulations encourage requesters seeking information on living third
parties to provide a signed affidavit or declaration from the third parties waiving all or
some of their privacy rights. We can search without this authorization, but if we locate
responsive records, privacy concerns may require us to protect the information from
release.
FOIA exemption (b)(6), a copy of which I have enclosed for reference and
retention, requires us to protect information "the disclosure of which would constitute a
clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy." In reaching this determination, we
use the test our enclosed regulations outline at 32 CFR � 1900.32(b): "the Agency will
balance the privacy interests that would be compromised by disclosure against the public
interest in release of the requested information." Therefore, the waiver will assist us with
this determination.

Approved for Release: 2021/10/22 C05956154
As you are aware, the FOIA authorizes federal agencies to collect fees for records
services. Based on the information provided in your letter, we determined that your
request falls into the "all other" fee category, which may require you to pay charges to
cover the cost of searching for and reproducing responsive records (if any) beyond the
first 100 pages of reproduction and the first two hours of search time, which are free.
Copies are ten cents per page. We note your agreement to pay up to $50. As you
requested, we will notify you if the fees exceed that amount.
We will hold your request in abeyance for 45 days from the date of this letter
pending receipt of the subject's date and place of birth, date and place of death,
citizenship status, and evidence of death or privacy waiver as outlined above.
Sincerely,
Michele Meeks
Information and Privacy Coordinator
