To ensure transparency regarding requests, EPA's policy is to post such third party correspondence.

Disclaimer: EPA's posting of third party correspondence for the purpose of transparency is not an Agency endorsement of, or agreement with the information presented as third party correspondence, nor is it an Agency endorsement of the quality of such information with respect to EPA's Information Quality Guidelines (2002) or the Information Quality Act (2001). The Agency does not necessarily intend to use this information when responding to an RFC or RFR and is posting it for the sake of transparency.

Note: IQG Web Site policy is that third party correspondence, except comments containing copyrighted material, confidential business information, or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute, will be made available for public viewing on this website. This policy applies to information submitted electronically or in paper form. Any identifying or contact information provided in your correspondence will be made available to the public on the Internet on this Web Site.
