(SEC)
10 DAYS TO RESPOND TO ARCHIVE; OUTSTANDING REQUESTS AS OLD
AS 1 YEAR
|
Ten Oldest - SEC responded approximately 10 business
days after the request was made; it reported ten FOIA requests
ranging from March 1, 2002 to June 12, 2002. SEC indicated
that it has no pending cases with other government agencies.
The requests concern materials about PeopleSoft, Inc., The
Stanley Works, Cisco Systems, USA Networks, Inc., Darden Restaurants,
Inc., Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc., Vito Michael Randazzo,
Harris Corporation, Compuware Corporation, and MeadWestvaco
Corporation. |
Workload Statistics - SEC's reported statistics from
1998 through 2002 indicate that the agency received a decreasing
number of FOIA requests through 2001, and an increase in 2002
(up 12.50% from 3176 in 1998 to 3573 in 2002). The number
processed each year has decreased (down 9.47% from 3190 processed
in 1998 to 2888 processed in 2002). SEC's processing rate
per year -- a comparison of the number of requests processed
to the number received -- decreased from 100.44% in 1998 to
80.83% in 2002. |
Backlog Statistics - SEC's backlog of pending FOIA
requests has increased (from 114 FOIA requests pending at
the end of 1998 to 821 FOIA requests pending at the end of
2002). SEC's backlog as a percentage of FOIA requests processed
each year has increased from 3.57% in 1998 to 28.43% in 2002.
Its backlog rate per year -- a comparison of the number of
requests pending at the end of the year to the number received
during that year -- has increased from 3.59% in 1998 to 22.98%
in 2002. |
Processing Time - Under its two track system, SEC
reports that its median days to process simple requests has
ranged from 7-16 days over the 1998-2002 period, and its median
days to process complex requests has ranged from 82-151 days
over the 1998-2002 period. The median days that backlogged
requests have been pending ranged from 16-137 in 2002. SEC
reports a median processing time for expedited requests of
five days in 2002, but does not report processing times for
expedited requests for any other year. |
