We had originally estimated that records would be available on or before August 13, 2024. However, we need additional time to respond due to the remaining records we have gathered are currently under legal review for applicable exemptions so additional time is needed to conduct that review.

We now estimate we will be able to provide you with another response or installment on or before August 27, 2024.
