Whether emergency allocation criteria are equitable and documented from FOIA

Situation

In a state agency with a FOIA backlog and a political request, FOIA search-term and exemption log is the evidence after an IG draft that will go public Thursday. Testimony-prep lead has to pick Pay or continue or Recoup for this Government Budget and Performance close using FOIA search-term and exemption log.

Decision

Testimony-prep lead in a state agency with a FOIA backlog and a political request must choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold using FOIA search-term and exemption log after an IG draft that will go public Thursday.

Hypotheses to test

• Authorize Pay or continue now; FOIA search-term and exemption log already has the discriminator after an IG draft that will go public Thursday.
• Keep Recoup in force until FOIA search-term and exemption log is completed after an IG draft that will go public Thursday for testimony-prep lead.
• Treat FOIA search-term and exemption log as Deny because both readings appear after an IG draft that will go public Thursday.
• Refuse a Government close: testimony-prep lead does not have the page emergency allocation criteria are turns on in FOIA search-term and exemption log.

Analysis required

• Check notice and appeal timing around an IG draft that will go public Thursday.
• Trace the audit trail testimony-prep lead would produce for oversight.
• Map eligibility, appropriation, and program rules in FOIA search-term and exemption log after an IG draft that will go public Thursday.
• For this Government Budget and Performance file, read FOIA search-term and exemption log against an IG draft that will go public Thursday and write the one fact that would move emergency allocation criteria are for testimony-prep lead.

Recommendation

Choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold on this Government / Budget and Performance packet (FOIA search-term and exemption log after an IG draft that will go public Thursday). The follow-on Budget and Performance action is what testimony-prep lead does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
