We have conducted a search of the Counterespionage Section (CES) of the National Security Division (NSD). The chart containing this information is classified and therefore, exempt from disclosure pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(1). However, CES has compiled the numbers which are unclassified. Please note, CES has compiled these numbers on a Calendar Year basis, as your request specified. CY2009: 44 CY2010: 33 CY2011: 41 CY2012: 46 CY2013: 55 CY2014: 41 CY2015: 18 This is NSD's final response to your request and we will administratively close NSD FOIA #14-164.
