Good afternoon,
Thank you for this information. I would like to limit this request to applications submitted by agencies stationed only in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas within fiscal year 2016. I hope this helps to cut down on your agencies labor time and the sheer volume of possible responsive documents.
Thank you,
