The correct figure is “74.” Therefore, the number of requests pending as of the start of FY09 has been amended to “74” in the FY10 report. ** In the FY2009 FOIA Annual Report, the number of requests pending at the end of FY09 was reported as “253.” Due to the amendment in the number of requests pending as of the start of FY10 for NOAA (see footnote above), the number of requests pending as of the start of FY10 for the agency overall has been amended to “175.”
