Correspondence Summary
The disclosed correspondence records from DOE fall into two major categories. The first and
most significant category is GA Power Correspondence, or correspondence between DOE, DOEs
outside contractors, or DOEs counsel and Georgia Power Company or Georgia Power Companys
counsel. These documents are arranged by the name of DOE employee to whom the email was
addressed and contain many redactions. DOE justified most of the withholdings under Exemption 5,
FOIAs interagency deliberation exemption. Nevertheless, this exemption does not apply to the
numerous communications to or from Georgia Power or its counsel. The second category of
correspondence consists of correspondence with the DOEs Office of General Counsel. The documents
were produced only in paper format and therefore are not posted on this website.
