Agency Postponement Documentation

As directed in President Biden's Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies on the Temporary Certification Regarding Disclosure of Information in Certain Records Related to the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, each agency proposing continued postponement of information beyond December 15, 2022 has prepared the following documentation:

• an unclassified letter, signed by the head of the agency, providing a written description of the types of information for which the agency is proposing continued postponement and reasons supporting that determination;
• an unclassified index identifying for each such record the reasons for which the agency is proposing continued postponement of information; and
• an unclassified transparency plan containing a specific proposed date identifying for each such record when the agency reasonably anticipates that continued postponement of information no longer would be necessary or, if that is not possible, a specific proposed date identifying when the agency would propose to next review whether the information proposed for continued postponement still satisfies the statutory standard for postponement.
