1) When a person requests records from a federal agency
under the Freedom of Information Act, may the
agency redact the requester 's own name from the
requested records, over requester 's objection, on the
grounds of protecting the requester from an
"unwarranted invasion " of the his or her "personal
privacy " under
§ 552(b)(7)(C)? May the agency similarly redact the
name of a public official from an official
communication under those statutes on the ground of
protecting the public official 's personal privacy?5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6) and/or

2) May a federal circuit court hold that a person failed to
exhaust their administrative remedies under the
Freedom of Information Act and deny the requester
the right to file suit even though the federal agency
failed to issue a final determination on his request
within the 20-day statutory time limit under 5 U.S.C.
552(a)(6)(C)(i), where the circuit court 's decision
irreconcilably conflicts with a chorus of other federal
circuit court decisions, federal district courts
decisions, a letter from the agency telling the
requester had exhausted his remedies, and previous
rulings by the agency 's own Office of Hearing and
Appeals?

When a person requests records from a federal agency under the FOIA, may the agency redact the requester's own name?
