Hi Mr. Gottinger,

I am reviewing your FOIA request and need to get clarification on what you're looking for. I can readily provide you with counts of new employees and separations for those years, but I wasn't sure what you meant by "A copy of records".

Let me and I'll help you as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Your request:
"A copy of records documenting the number of employees of the Environmental Protection Agency who have left their positions/were terminated/retired for the years 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, as well as a copy of records documenting the number of new employees hired to work for the Environmental Protection Agency in the years 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018."
