Court opinion issued Aug. 12, 2022
Telematch, Inc. v. USDA (D.C. Cir.) -- affirming district court’s decision that: (1) USDA properly relied on Exemption 3, in conjunction with 7 U.S.C. § 8791(b)(2)(B), to withhold farm numbers and tract numbers associated with its farm subsidy programs; and (2) USDA properly used Exemption 6 to withhold customer numbers assigned to individual farmers, because release “substantial probability” existed that release would reveal financial condition of farmers and plaintiff did not establish an overriding public interest.
