Department of Energy Office of Hearings and Appeals [Decision List No. 60] Week of November 17 Through November 21, 1997 Appeal Los Alamos Study Group, 11/19/97, [VFA-0346] OHA granted in part an Appeal filed by the Los Alamos Study Group (the Study Group) from a FOIA determination issued by the Albuquerque Operations Office (Albuquerque). OHA remanded this matter because the determination letter issued by Albuquerque was based upon: (1) A misunderstanding of the scope of the Study Group's request for classified documents, and (2) the incorrect assumption that the five facilities named in the Study Group's FOIA request were located at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). OHA also found that the staff of the DOE Los Alamos Area Office and LANL performed an adequate search for responsive unclassified documents.
