Pursuant to the Maryland Public Information Act, I hereby request clarification about the responsive document from a previous MPIA request, submitted on April 16, 2018.

I would like to ask for the meanings of the following fields in the spreadsheet:

- Location
- EMPLID
- Ethnic Group
- Job Code
- In Lieu
- Position Number
- Grade
- GL Pay Type
- Locality

If there is a legend or document describing the fields and/or listing the possible values of those fields (e.g. a list of all Job Codes and Job Titles for BPD), I would like to request those documents. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your help. The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar days, as the statute requires, as the statute requires.
