- How AI is used
- From the agency's document list, record the document number, date, description, and the exemption the file already states. Leave the exemption cell blank when the file does not state one.
- What the lawyer must review
- The schedule is a working list for a FOIA response or appeal under 5 U.S.C. § 552. You choose the exemption and you check it against the statute. The 20-day determination clock in § 552(a)(6)(A) is yours to calculate from the agency's receipt date. A tool does not apply an exemption.
