Locascio (D.D.C.) -- on renewed summary judgment, adopting magistrate’s report and recommendation finding that: (1) Federal Emergency Managment Agency performed an adequate search for records concerning agency’s study of the collapse of the World Trade Center in 2001, rejecting plaintiff’s objections that FEMA failed to produce specific, non-exempt documents or that it was obligated to search 490,000 pages maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration; (2) plaintiff’s claim against the National Institute of Standards and Technology was moot because plaintiff received all the records he sought.
