To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

All emails sent to or received by Scott Pruitt from Larry Starfield (Acting Assistant Administrator for the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance) mentioning or related to Volkswagen vehicle emission rules. All emails sent to or received by Scott Pruitt from addresses ending in "@epa.gov" mentioning or related to Volkswagen vehicle emission rules. Please include all attachments.

In order to help to determine my status to assess fees, you should know that I am a journalist writing for Motherboard, VICE's technology and science site, and that this request is being made as part of news gathering.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes. They will be used in the course of my reporting for Motherboard (www.motherboard.vice.com).

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request, and I ask that this be processed in the "media" fee category. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Sarah Emerson
