FOIA Requests Received in March 2018 Tracking Number Requester Name Organization Received Date Description February 28, 2018 Dear FOIA Officer Hi I have a basic request, on this issue if Environmental Protection Agency Region 1 received and found unnatural light enhancement or magnification, public transit station and in the area near the station location below. Based on my time parking at the location and seeing others cars this issue of unnatural solar enhancement does not appear to effect autos made by other manufactures. Walking in the area on a personal level I have seen no enhancements beyond natural human activity. Second are there any reports for cars made or marketed by the entity known as American Honda, have melting of parts or components there are exposed to the outside natural environment with normal unmagnified or amplified natural sunlight. Is there an industry standard or suggested standard for exterior plastic components and would melting in the period of 1, 2 or 3 years or 20,000 miles of operation be expected for a car made for sale in the United States? Would melting of plastic components cause distribution of unknown particles into the atmosphere and is there a method to report this EPA and has American Honda filed any such report , details of the report are not requested .
