Dear Mr Lipton:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is in receipt of your Freedom of Information Request (EPA-HQ-2014-009309), dated (August 7, 2014). In attempting to process your document request, my office requires clarification with respect to your request for "All complaints submitted to the [EPA's] Office of Human Resources since January 1, 2013." Please clarify, with specificity, what kinds of documents you are referring to generally as "complaints" - either by document type or example. Because your FOIA request, as currently written, is vague in its description of the documents sought, EPA can do no further work in processing your request without this clarification.
Thank you,
Marvin Schulman
