Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
copies of all records - logs, recordings, emails, etc... - related to communications from members of the public or other non-governmental entities with the following phone numbers:

Please include anything related to replying to the inquiries of members of the public or other non-government entities.
I hear that for 404-639-7000 people have had to press 8.
I also hear that for 800-232-4636 people have had to press 1, then 4, then 1
I obviously do not need the PII for members of the public that is related to those communications
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
