MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
RICHARD W. ROBERTS, District Judge.
The Center for International Environmental Law (“CIEL”) brought this action against the United States Trade Representative 1 and his office (collectively “USTR”), seeking documents under the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”), 5 U.S.C. § 552. USTR has renewed its motion for summary judgment regarding one document. 2 Because USTR has not sufficiently demonstrated that disclosure of the document would harm the United States’ national security interests, USTR’s renewed motion for summary judgment will be denied.
