Hi

due to changesIn the tracking systems, this one seems to have fallen through the cracks. The FOI officer has been In touch with therequester, who Is still Interested In these materials, and so we are now asking anew for clearance to provide theattached responsewith the redactions as shown. This response Is quite late, so while we don t have a hard deadline, wewould like to get these materials out to the requester as soon as possible and are requesting clearance by May 28th.Thanks,MamaMama McDcnnoaAssociate Deputy General Co unse lU S Environmental Protection Agency202) 564-2890
