In addition, please whenever possible produce records electronically in non‐proprietary formats such as Excel files or PDF files. Please also provide any and all documentation related to such electronic records, including but not limited to data dictionaries, database documentation, record layouts, code sheets, data entry instructions, and similar printed or electronic documentation materials. Please respond within 20 working days, as the Act provides, or notify me if “unusual” or “exceptional” circumstances apply (as the Act uses those terms). If you decide to withhold an exempt portion of any record, please release all other segregable parts. If you withhold any record or portion of a record, please specify which statutory exemptions are claimed for each withholding. Please separately state your reasons for not invoking your discretion, as the Act allows, to release the requested information. Please describe each record withheld, including its date and size (e.g., amount of electronic memory or number of paper pages). EPA‐HQ‐2017‐002024 Nicholas P. Surgey 12/13/2016 21:12 See attached document EPA‐HQ‐2017‐002051 Anthony Lacey Inside EPA 12/14/2016 17:12 Seeking all communications (emails, letters, PowerPoint presentations, etc.) sent by EPA and received at EPA to and from both the Trump transition team and the Trump "landing team" of select staff from Nov. 15, 2016, to Dec. 14, 2016. The transition team is the one with the website greatagain.gov. The "landing team" is the Trump transition team officials that are working directly with EPA: Myron Ebell, David Schnare, David Kreutzer, Austin Lipari, David Stevenson, and George Sugiyama. EPA is aware of the members of its own transition team, but to cover all the bases, the head of EPA's transition effort is Shannon Kenny. EPA has made minimal information about the transition available to the public, and the communications between EPA and the landing/transition team are impossible to obtain unless through FOIA. To make clear: this request includes all materials generated by EPA as well as all materials generated by the transition and/or landing team and sent to EPA.
