Hi Eric,
Just in case this message doesn't go through in a timely fashion through Muckrock, I left a voicemail today - March 15 - at 4:20 CT.

I don't know what additional details to provide. I see that EPA Senior Leaders post their calendars (https://www.epa.gov/senior-leaders-calendars) and I'm requesting to obtain the calendar for Edward Nam, Director Air and Radiation Division at US Environmental Protection Agency Region 5.

Thanks!
Matt

From: Matt Kasper

Hey Eric,
I just listened to your voicemail. Thanks for the clarification. I'm providing a written response: I am requesting the outlook calendar for Edward Nam, Director Air and Radiation Division at US Environmental Protection Agency Region 5, and I understand that there will likely be redactions.

Thanks,
Matt

From: Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5

Good morning,

I have gone through the responsive records and have found a few things that will need to be redacted. Let me know if you are willing to exclude the following:

* Are you willing to exclude Doctor's appointments?
* Are you willing to exclude Conference Line numbers and access codes?

Thank you,

Hi Eric,
Yes, that all sounds good to exclude the personal doctor's appointments and the conference line numbers/codes.

Best,
Matt

From: Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5

Thank you for getting back to me. I have gone through and have identified other items that could/will be redacted and wanted to let you know. Also, if you have objections, please let me know. If I do not hear from you by 9am Wednesday April 11, 2018, I will assume you have no objections.

Previously acknowledged for redaction:
-Private meetings/appointments/events
-Conference lines and access codes

New item:
-Daily task list: they are on his calendar, but are not appointments, meetings or events. Ed marks emails he needs to take care of, and by the scope of your request, these are not responsive; therefore, those will be redacted as non-responsive

Thank you,

Eric

From: Matt Kasper

Yes, that sounds good.
