## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Administrative & Public Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/administrative-and-public-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Green: AI drafts, lawyer checks |
| 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. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: 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.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Green is limited to transcribing the agency's own list into a fixed table.
- A state records request uses that state's public-records statute, not FOIA.
