RE: Freedom of Information Act Request No. 2025-EPA-06510
Dear Ms. Zimmerman:
This letter concerns the above-referenced FOIA request received by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on July 2, 2025, in which you request copies of the following documents issued by EPA Region 4 since January 20, 2021, for any enforcement actions that have not been resolved through a final administrative or judicial consent decree or judgment, or by a final administrative order.
We have determined that some of the requested records can be released. At this time, we are providing a 2nd interim response to your request. A total of five (5) responsive documents have been transmitted to you electronically today. However, after carefully reviewing all requested records with an eye toward disclosure, we were unable to provide you with portions of these documents which have been determined to be exempt from mandatory disclosure by virtue of Exemptions 4 and 6 of the FOIA. See 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and (6).
Exemption 4 requires the Agency to initially withhold trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a company that is privileged or confidential.
Exemption 6 protects information about individuals in "personnel and medical files and similar files" when the disclosure of such information "would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy."
Your request is not being closed at this time. When your request is closed you will receive information concerning your appeal rights for any part of the EPA's response as well as information regarding the Exemption 4 process. If you any questions about this interim production or to discuss your request generally, please contact Danier Jno Charles, Government Information Specialist, at (404) 562-9646 or jnocharles.danier@epa.gov. Additionally, you may seek assistance from the EPA's FOIA Public Liaison via email at hq.foia@epa.gov or call (202) 566-1667. Last, you may also seek assistance from the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS). You may contact OGIS in any of the following ways: by
mail, Office of Government Information Services, National Archives and Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001; email: ogis@nara.gov; telephone: (202) 741-5770 or (877) 684-6448; or fax: (202) 741-5769. For all media inquiries, please contact press@epa.gov.
Sincerely,
