Ordinarily, the agency that originated a record will be presumed to be best able to determine whether to disclose it. (2)(i) (A) Failure to obtain the requested records on an expedited basis could reasonably pose a threat to a person's life or physical safety; or (B) With respect to a request made by a person primarily engaged in disseminating information, there is an urgency to inform the public about Government activity that is the specific subject of the FOIA request. (ii) The FOIA Officer shall ordinarily decide within ten calendar days after receiving a request for expedited processing whether to grant it and shall notify the requester of the decision. If the FOIA Officer grants a request for expedited processing, the FOIA Officer shall process the request as soon as practicable. If the FOIA Officer denies a request for expedited processing, SIGAR shall act expeditiously on any appeal of that denial. (3) (i) (ii) (d) (2) (3)
