Common use of Expedited Processing Clause in Contracts

Expedited Processing. A request for expedited processing must be included in the original request for records and may be granted at the discretion of Ex- Im Bank based upon the requester’s demonstration of: (1) An imminent threat to the life or physical safety of an individual; or (2) In the case of a requester who is a representative of the news media, an urgency to inform the public con- cerning actual or alleged Federal Gov- ernment activity. Ex-Im Bank shall provide notice of its determination on expedited processing to the requester. A requester may file an administrative appeal, as set forth at § 404.11, based on a denial of a request for expedited proc- essing. Ex-Im Bank shall grant expedi- tious consideration to any such appeal. (a) Creation of records. A reasonable request for material not in existence may be honored at Ex-Im Bank’s dis- cretion when tabulation or compilation will not significantly burden Ex-Im Bank, its programs or its activities. (b) Discretionary release. Consistent with federal government policy, mate- rial technically qualifying for exemp- tion from disclosure under 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5) may be made available when disclosure would not adversely affect legitimate public or private interests, violate law or impose an unreasonable burden on Ex-Im Bank. This policy does not, however, create any right en- forceable in a court of law.
