“During calendar years 1999 through 2002, the most recent years for which complete data were available when we began our review, federal judges submitted 661 requests for redaction of information in their financial disclosure reports…The judiciary’s procedures for processing redactions to and public requests for financial disclosure reports have not been formally documented and have not been assessed with respect to their ability to provide reasonable assurance that the judiciary can safeguard sensitive information and provide timely responses to public requests for copies of reports.”
