IRR.Realignment. May CDC live on iii the hearts and memories of the aim ost staff and contractors who serve

(U7/41-Ft9t The 31 Dec 2016 Deadline:
(U871r117144)- The thermometer charts below provide a measure of completeness against the CIA records that must be reviewed by 31 December
2016 (records that have reached either their 25-year deadline or their 50-year deadline). Against the 25-year deadline, for example, these
records include hardcopy CIA records dated through 1991, special media dated through 1986 and CIA Presidential Library (PL) material and
any external referrals (to CIA) due in 2016 outside the National Declassification Center (NDC). (Referrals for CIA at the NDC are excluded
due to the NDC procedures. NDC now controls the review deadlines at NARA per the EO but has just begun to establish deadlines for this
NARA material. NDC also controls the deadlines for PL material and has explicitly established deadlines for a subset of the material dubbed
Priority.) The charts below include PL Priority deadline material or a nominal 3-year deadline for other PL material. Though, notionally,
missing the deadline may result in automatic declassification for AARC material or external referrals to CIA outside of the NDC, that is not the

case for PL Priority or the non-priority PL based on current NDC procedures. The first chart reflects data current through 16 July 2016 and
reflects prior FY efforts against 31 December 2016 material. The second chart also reflects data current through 16 July 2016 but reflects the
status of chart #1 31 December 2016 material beginning in FY 2016
(b)(3)
(U/ IU01 The first three thermometers measure progress against certification for material being processed manually (for accession to NARA
or exemption) and via automated system (for delivery on CREST at NARA or via the RAC Program to the Presidential Libraries). The fourth
thermometer measures overall progress (manual + automated). As in other "Thermo" charts, the targets are above the thermometer; the current
pages processed to date is provided below the thermometer; the height of the thermometer represents pages processed to date graphically; and at
the right are tick marks that divide the target into equal weekly sub-targets. The horizontal line ("slider") indicates the number of (b)(3)
pages that should be completed by the current week of the FY assuming a linear production rate. Above the slider is good; below indicates
more work to be done. (b)(3)
(UHAIU0) You may notice that the target numbers at the top of the thermometers may change from week to week. This is due in general to the
targets being estimates that are refined during the year as detailed review progresses. For example, page count estimates can change since
microfilm estimates are often difficult to make prior to detailed review. This can add or subtract from the original target estimates. In another
situation, certain records that are initially assigned to the automated category undergo a pre-review ("triage") and may be moved from the
automated to the manual category.

(U/IARIO) FY 2016 Production Status
(UHAIU0) The status of production against the FY 2016 goals as of 16 July 2016 is presented in the "Thermometer Chart" below.
(UHAIU0) Note that this chart presents "Pages Reviewed this Fiscal Year" and displays some key product lines. Thus counts in this chart
reflect material that has completed the review process this FY (i.e., "certified" or equivalent). It does not reflect pages that have completed the
full production process (i.e., been "delivered") but reflects progress against the Executive Order requirements. The chart below is organized by
key FY 2016 goals, i.e., overall total review/release; automated review (our highest value on-line redacted product); and Presidential Libraries;
and Manual Review whether involving AARC documents or NDC documents. (Note that Overall Total subsumes Automated and Manual, and
Automated subsumes the Presidential Library product. Because the Overall Total includes SPREE (Pass/Fail review) which is not displayed,
the Overall Total is not the simple sum of the three sub-categories to its right on the chart.)
