The adjustments reflect requests where all final action was taken in FY 2014, but the close-outs were not captured in the tracking system in FY 2014. For this reason, the overall agency number of requests pending at the start of the fiscal year is 47 lower than reported in last year's report.5839152362NoRecords1181Referred2Withdrawn413FeeRelated24NotDescribed5ImproperRequest26NotAgency139088163814NoRecords54Referred27Withdrawn17FeeRelated10NotDescribed1ImproperRequest2NotAgency2Duplicate73683417922NoRecords129Withdrawn218FeeRelated1NotDescribed13NotAgency13Duplicate2915381305713NoRecords101Referred3Withdrawn31NotDescribed6NotAgency5Duplicate935599897NoRecords76Withdrawn1NotAgency127348300NoRecords34Withdrawn6FeeRelated1NotDescribed3NotAgency2124616530NoRecords44Withdrawn14FeeRelated8NotDescribed7ImproperRequest1NotAgency2Duplicate12Other5249154310NoRecords39Withdrawn2Duplicate2Other81191091066NoRecords71Withdrawn8NotAgency2Duplicate3Other7337868273NoRecords38Withdrawn7FeeRelated8NotAgency1Duplicate5Other21591010NoRecords1728000Other2268832814137NoRecords1784Referred32Withdrawn717FeeRelated52NotDescribed35ImproperRequest29NotAgency41Duplicate67Other9012681N/A00Opened in error55Opened in error88Opened in error7373Opened in error22RITA became part of OST during the FY; all RITA cases were absorbed by OST and reflected in OST's numbers22N/A00N/A00N/A00N/A00N/A0090Ex. 215Ex. 343Ex. 490Ex. 5357Ex. 6637Ex. 7(A)65Ex. 7(C)15Ex. 7(D)1Ex. 7(E)14Ex. 7(F)1Ex. 31Ex. 427Ex. 542Ex. 624Ex. 7(A)1Ex. 7(C)2Ex. 21Ex. 3176Ex. 426Ex. 6786Ex. 7(A)4Ex. 7(C)523Ex. 7(D)139Ex. 7(E)1Ex. 411Ex. 512Ex. 663Ex. 7(A)14Ex. 7(C)51Ex. 414Ex. 515Ex. 664Ex. 413Ex. 542Ex. 624Ex. 35Ex. 420Ex. 516Ex. 661Ex. 41Ex. 51Ex. 61Ex. 7(A)1Ex. 7(C)1Ex. 7(D)1Ex. 7(E)1Ex. 32Ex. 424Ex. 529Ex. 684Ex. 7(A)1Ex. 33Ex. 41Ex. 55Ex. 616Ex. 7(A)1Ex. 7(C)1Ex. 7(F)15Ex. 41Ex. 216Ex. 3230Ex. 4228Ex. 5519Ex. 61760Ex. 7(A)87Ex. 7(C)593Ex. 7(D)141Ex. 7(E)16Ex. 7(F)1623102101242151700101172616341331012111155105500880000000002916415538The number of pending appeals for the agency overall at the beginning of Fiscal Year 2015 is the same as that reported as pending at the end of the Fiscal Year 2014.
