Below are the timestamps from the original files—not the combined files-sent over to DOJ. The files are identified by their length. The name to be redacted is listed along with the timestamp. We understand it is late, and this takes a lot of work. We also want to ensure this is done correctly. We would like for your team to do your best to have the redacted audio files sent over to us via Teleporter by noon tomorrow. Please let me know if you have any questions at all. I am available on my mobile tonight and tomorrow to discuss anything to ensure we get this done. Thank you and your team in advance for your work on this.

Request #1: ODAG Acting Associate Deputy Attorney General requested OTD to redact the portions identified below in the one audio file. Should OTD upload the result to the provided shared folder? Below are the portions requested for redaction from the audio file that is 42:10 in length (it is the second substantive recordin from 7/25). • Redact the name ' " from 42:10 file at time stamps 11:25, 11:27, and 18:24 • Redact ' " from 42:10 file at timestamp 18:18. OTD will overwrite the timestamps stated above with an audible sound to redact the names " " and unless otherwise advised. In addition, OTD will remove the metadata from the one file above with the length of 42:10. Request #2: NY ASAC requested OTD to merge the list of the below recordings into one audio recording. Is this accurate? Should OTD upload the result to the provided shared folder? Thursday July 24 724_25_ Tallahassee.004 (44:33 in length): Begins at 10:12 a.m., ends at 10:56 a.m. 724_25_ Tallahassee.005 (1:06:24 in length): Begins at 11:07 a.m., ends at 12:15 p.m. 7_24_25_ Tallahassee.007 (3:01 in length): Begins at 12:59 p.m., no end given L24_25 Tallahassee.008 (1:00:53 in length): No begin given, ends at 2:03 p.m. 724_25__ Tallahassee.009 (36:42 in length): Begins at 2:16 p.m., ends at 2:53 p.m. 7 24 25 Tallahassee.010 (24:46 in length): Begins at 3:10 p.m., ends at 3:34 p.m. Friday July 25 xxx7 25.003 (1:11:28 in length): Begins at 9:24 a.m., ends at 10:35 a.m. xxx7 25.004 (42:10 in length): Begins at 10:49 a.m., ends at 11:31 a.m. xxx7 25.005 (0:49 in length): Begins at 11:49 a.m., no end given xxx7 25.006 (16:18 in length): No begin given, ends at 12:05 p.m. OTD personnel were provided access to two folders dated July 24th (10 audio files) and July 25th (6 audio files) for a total of 16 audio files. In request #2 from NY, there are 10 audio files listed for processing, please confirm OTD should not process the other 6 audio files in the shared folder. Who should OTD provide the one combined audio file to or should OTD upload the file to the provided shared folder? OTD will remove the metadata from the combined audio file. Currently, OTD is working on the redaction request from the one audio file per the ODAG's request. To ensure the redactions are completed accurately, OTD will need until tomorrow afternoon for the EFTA01656886 ODAG request #1 and until Wednesday afternoon for the NY request #2. Once OTD receives clarity on the final instructions we will be able to provide a specific timeline.
