RE: Freedom of Information Act Request - EPA-2022-003303
Hello:
Please see the attached letter.
Sincerely,

Find Attached our initial response to your FOIA request EPA-2022-003303.

Good afternoon Ms. Welsh,

I am working diligently on your request. After an extensive database search, I have not been able locate regarding the approval or denial of substances used on wild/feral horses for birth control, roundup, or management as listed in your FOIA request. Because of this, I have turned to a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for assistance in hopes that they will be able to help perform a deeper search. I will provide you with a detailed update in the next two weeks (11/6/23) if not sooner.

I appreciate your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Gibbs Moore

To the U.S. EPA FOIA Requester Community,

Some in the EPA Requester community have encountered problems creating FOIAXpress Public Access Link (PAL) accounts in the Agency's new FOIA application FOIAXpress. With the FOIAXpress application, the PAL is the best method for EPA to release voluminous records to our Requesters, without encountering MB-limiting firewalls and such transmission impediments.

The Agency is working diligently to solve this FOIAXpress issue. In the interim, we have taken the step to "push" a system-generated invitation to create a PAL account to you. You should receive an email from address noreply_nfo@epa.gov<mailto:noreply_nfo@epa.gov> with instructions on how to take the next steps to successfully establish the PAL account.

If you chose to establish this account, this would then ensure that all future interim and final responses from your FOIA requests to EPA will be available for download via the PAL. It will also allow you to submit any new requests to U.S. EPA using your PAL account.
Regards,
Rebecca Clausen, on behalf of the
EPA FOIAXpress Implementation Team
