Mr. Rios,

Good morning. Thank you for your email. At this time, this request is in process. I have requested the responsive records from the record holder. As soon as I receive them, I will review for potential proprietary information. If found, I will conduct the Submitter Notice process, which allows the submitter an opportunity to object to disclosure. Once I have finished that process, I will process the records and provide a response.

I hope this is helpful. If you have any questions or if I may be of further assistance, please let me know.

Thank you,
Kristen
