Dear Sam:
We are working on your request and have the following questions:
* Are you looking for all waiver petition forms submitted to the DEC by the generators, or are you looking for the waivers that were approved and granted to the generators?
* Would you prefer a list of all waivers granted during 2022 instead?
Thank you!

Hi Molly,
Thanks for reaching out with this clarification. I would like both all waiver petition forms and all waivers that were approved and granted. It's fine to send them separately if one set of documents can be made available before the other.
Thanks,
Sam
