General

I am providing my name and I agree that EPA OIG can disclose my name and other information I provide, if necessary, to ensure my issues are addressed.

Confidential

I wish to be confidential, meaning I am providing the OIG my name, but I request that the OIG not disclose my name outside the OIG. This option is appropriate for complainants who fear reprisal.

Anonymous

I wish to be anonymous, meaning the OIG will not know my name. If I make this selection, I understand that the OIG will not be able to contact me, and the OIG may not have enough information to pursue my concerns.
