Hello:

Sincerely,

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Dear Anders,

Thank you for submitting FOIA request EPA-R9-2023-001373. I was hoping to ask a clarifying question about your request. In your submission, you requested the following records:

* Any and all information provided by the Environmental Protection Agency to Joanna McCall in response to FOIA public records request EPA-R9-2021-000592 described at https://foiaonline.gov/foiaonline/action/public/submissionDetails?trackingNumber=EPA-R9-2021-000592&type=Request

* Please include any and all Environmental Protection Agency warning letters regarding the Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Rule, related to the property located at 262 Athol Avenue, Oakland California 94606.

* Please include any and all Environmental Protection Agency warning letters regarding the Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule, related to the property located at 262 Athol Avenue, Oakland California 94606.

I was wondering as to the last two bullet points, are you simply specifying we include any and all EPA warning letters regarding the Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Rule and Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule released as part of FOIA EPA-R9-2021-000592, or are you requesting we look for additional warning letters sent after FOIA-EPA-R9-000592 was closed. Please feel free to call me to discuss your request.

Thanks so much,

Rebecca Ringler
