Compare the release set with the decision's document list
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- Match file names in the proposed release set to file names on the decision list. Flag a release file that is not on the list, and a file the decision marks as withheld that is in the release set. Write no sentence of the release letter.
- What the lawyer must review
- 5 U.S.C. § 552 is the Freedom of Information Act. What leaves the agency is the decision you make under that statute. The comparison is a file-name check. It does not decide an exemption. You look at every flagged file before anything is sent. Formal Opinion 512 requires review of the match.
