(e) When an organization does not have records in its custody. When
an OPM organization receives a Freedom of Information Act request for
OPM records that it does not have in its possession, it will normally
either--
(1) Retrieve the records from the organization that has possession
of them; or
(2) Promptly forward the request to the appropriate organization. If
a person has asked to be kept apprised of anything that will delay the
official receipt of a request, OPM will provide notice of this
forwarding action. Otherwise, OPM may, at its option, provide such
notice.
(f) Applying the time limits. When applying the time limits in
section 552 of title 5, United States Code, OPM will not officially
consider any request to be received until it arrives in the OPM
organization that has responsibility for the records sought.
(g) Records from other Government agencies. When a person seeks
records that originated in another Government agency, OPM may refer the
request to the other agency for response. Ordinarily, OPM will provide
notice of this type of referral.
(h) Creating records. If a person seeks information from OPM in a
format that does not currently exist, OPM will not ordinarily compile
the information for the purpose of creating a record to respond to the
request. OPM will advise the individual that it does not have records in
the format sought. If other existing records would reasonably respond to
the request or portions of it, OPM may provide these. If fees as
provided in Sec. 294.109 apply to any alternative records, OPM will
advise the requester before providing the records.
