Hi Jimmy,

I have received your below request. What are you looking for as far as billing records?

If you are interested in the actual bills, not only would it take a significant amount of time to get those, there would likely be no new information released beyond what you have in the spreadsheets I provided, as PII (addresses, ect) is generally withheld under exemption 6.
