Dear Mr. Greenwald:
Re: FOIA Request No: 2021-002114 (SW)
This is in response to your request dated February 24, 2021 under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA). You requested all records pertaining to the February 21, 2021
encounter between American Airlines Flight 2292 and an unknown object over New Mexico.
We searched our files maintained in the American Airlines Certificate Management Office
(CMO). Enclosed are the documents responsive to your request.
There is no fee associated with this request because processing was less than $20.00.
We have identified additional records responsive to your request, however those records are
are the property of the Department of Defense (DOD). The DOD will determine whether any
of those records maybe released. You may direct your question to the DOD Air Force
Representative; Attn: Mr. Jeffrey M. Godzik, 9-csa-afrep@faa.gov or
817-222-5911.
We redacted personal information from the file, i.e., addresses, telephone numbers, social
security numbers, etc., pursuant to Exemption 6 of the FOIA [5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6)].
Exemption 6 covers personnel, medical, and similar records. This exemption protects the
privacy interests of individuals by allowing an agency to withhold from disclosure intimate
personal data kept in government files. Disclosure of the redacted information would
constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
As the Air Carrier Safety Assurance Deputy Director, I am responsible for the determination
that certain information in the records that you requested are exempt from disclosure. You
may request reconsideration of this determination by writing the Assistant Administrator for
Finance and Management (AFN-140), Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence
Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20591 or through electronic mail at: FOIA-Appeals@faa.gov.
