Good Morning Mr. Steinbaugh,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am reaching out to kindly inquire whether you might consider narrowing the scope of your request to the Office of the Secretary, rather than the entire Department of Commerce.

I would appreciate your response by April 14, 2025.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,

I agree to narrow the request so that it is so limited.

Thank you,
