The correct figure is “20.” Therefore, the number of requests pending as of the start of FY09 has been amended to “20” in the FY09 report. ** In the FY2008 FOIA Annual Report, the number of requests pending at the end of FY08 was reported as “256.” Due to the amendment in the number of requests pending as of the start of FY09 for PTO (see footnote above), the number of requests pending as of the start of FY09 for the agency overall has been amended to “254.”
