requires, for consistency across agencies, that the annual report backlog calculation account for only 20-day or 30-day statutory response timeframes. EPA's data reported here complies with DOJ's requirement for the annual report. Elsewhere, internally, EPA reports its backlog based on a calculation that accounts for alternative timeframes to process requests under unusual circumstances and reflecting EPA's communications with requesters as provided in §552(a)(6)(B)(ii).1321161301190000000000000000000000000000000000000000132116130119000000000000000000000000
