Good evening,

Some of the quarterly reports have columns which contain phone numbers and addresses. It will take some time to go through the reports and redact home addresses and personal telephone numbers. Therefore, please let me know if you are fine with the entire column being redacted. If so, there will not be a labor cost for the redaction and I will be able to send a partial response tomorrow.

Thank you,
