Re: Freedom of Information Act Request

Dear EPA

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act.

Introduction and definitions: When I refer to “documents”, I am referring to documents, reports, letters, memos, e-mails, or other writings or photographs or diagrams or audio recordings, or memos made of telephone or other conversations, whether in the possession of your staff, your experts, or the experts you hire. When I refer to “documents”, I am referring also to documents which are available or accessible to you from other persons, sub-contractors, governments, government agencies, municipalities, private agencies, other jurisdictions, or laboratories. The term “documents” includes any web sites or documents on web sites which you created including their URL, including documents on web site backups. “NSF” is a reference to the National Sanitation Foundation. “ANSI” is a reference to the American National Standards Institute.

Please provide the following information to me:

1.      Any and all documents which EPA sent to NSF or ANSI or its members or representatives since the EPA was founded, including contracts, agreements, instructions, and guidelines.

2.      Any and all documents which EPA received from the NSF or ANSI or their members or representatives since the EPA was founded, including contracts, agreements, instructions, and guidelines.

3.      Any and all documents received from any person or agency, including federal, state, or municipal governments, regarding, mentioning, or concerning the NSF or ANSI since the EPA was founded.

4.      Any and all documents sent to any person or agency, including federal, state, or municipal governments, regarding or mentioning or concerning the NSF or ANSI since the EPA was founded.

5.      Any and all documents received from or sent to any person or agency, including federal, state, or municipal government agencies, regarding or mentioning or concerning NSF or ANSI since the EPA was founded.

6.      Any and all documents pertaining to, mentioning, detailing, or listing monies requested by or paid to or for the account of NSF or ANSI since the EPA was founded.

I am the President of a non-profit group which focuses on drinking water quality. Therefore, I ask that copy fees be waived. Where ever possible send documents to me on CD or DVD and not in paper format.

Sincerely,
