This is a September 30, 2020 FAA FOIA Program Management Division response to John Greenewald, Jr. of The Black Vault. His February 22, 2014 request (2014-009122) asked for the FAA's FOIA case log for 2013. The FAA released one 176-page record, the FY 2013 FOIA log. It withheld third-party names under Exemption 6.
