These documents had been requested in August 2020 by the Center under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The EPA acknowledged receipt of the Center’s request, and its FOIA tracking website provided an estimated completion date of Sept. 28, 2020. Yet the Center had not received a single document responsive to the request at the date of Apr. 13, 2021.
