Sec. 1007.7  Appeals.

    (a) Right of appeal. A requester may appeal to the Executive 
Director when:
    (1) Records have been withheld;
    (2) A request has been denied for failure to describe requested 
records or for other procedural deficiency or because requested records 
cannot be located;
    (3) A fee waiver has been denied;
    (4) A request has not been decided within the time limits provided 
in Sec. 1007.6; or
    (5) A request for expedited processing under Sec. 1007.5(d) has been 
denied.
    (b) Time for appeal. An appeal must be received at the office of the 
Presidio Trust no later than 20 working days after the date of the 
initial denial, in the case of a denial of an entire request, or 20 
working days after records have been made available, in the case of a 
partial denial.
    (c) Form of appeal. (1) An appeal shall be initiated by filing a 
written notice of appeal. The notice shall be accompanied by copies of 
the original request and the initial denial and should, in order to 
expedite the appellate process and give the requester an opportunity to 
present his or her arguments, contain a brief statement of the reasons 
why the requester believes the initial denial to have been in error.
    (2) The appeal shall be addressed to the Executive Director, The 
Presidio Trust, P.O. Box 29052, San Francisco, CA 94129-0052.
    (3) To expedite processing, both the envelope containing a notice of 
appeal and the face of the notice should bear the legend ``FREEDOM OF 
INFORMATION APPEAL.''
