The increase in the number of backlogged requests is attributable to several items: 1) the number of requests received compared to last fiscal year increased by 319 (FY10 - 1,318 vs. FY11 - 1,637); however, the number of requests processed for the year increased by 244 when compared to last fiscal year (FY10 - 1,320 vs. FY11 - 1,564); 2) the PS Records Office was not at full complement in Fiscal Year 2011 due to a freeze on hiring, and it lost its administrative support due to the PS organizational redesign.03300770000001010013181637132015643584043764003284633224512004250420182415Adjustments were made to account for requests that were received and/or closed last fiscal year, but had not been reported.29752301317913310913010225192318158128153120corrected from FY 2010 FOIA Annual Report210021
