				Except as stated in subsection (b) or (c), the Agency will respond to any
				written
request for records within 5 business days after its receipt of
				the request. Failure to comply with a written request, extend the time for
				response, or deny a request within 5 business days after its receipt shall be
				considered a denial of the request. If the Agency fails to respond to a request
				within the requisite periods in this
subsection (a)
but
				thereafter provides the requester with copies of the requested records, it will
				not impose a fee for these copies. If the Agency fails to respond to a request
				received, it will not treat the request as unduly burdensome under

				provide additional information shall be considered a response to the FOIA
				request.
b)
The time limits
				prescribed in

				reasons:

				records are stored in whole or in part at locations other than the office
				having charge of the requested records;
2)
The request requires the
				collection of a substantial number of specified records;

				categorical terms and requires an extensive search for the records responsive
				to it;
4)
The
				requested records have not been located in the course of routine search and

5)
The requested records require
				examination and evaluation by personnel having the necessary competence and

				7.5 of FOIA or should be revealed only with appropriate
				deletions
;
6)
The
				request for records cannot be complied with by the Agency within the time
				limits prescribed by
subsection (a)
without unduly burdening
				or interfering with the operations of the Agency; or
7)
There is a need for consultation,
				which shall be conducted with all practicable speed, with another public body
				or among two or more components of a public body having a substantial interest
				in the determination or in the subject matter of the request.

				3(e) of FOIA)

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
The
				Agency will fulfill requests calling for all records falling within a category
				unless compliance with the request would unduly burden the Agency, there is no

				interest in the information. Before invoking this exemption, the Agency will
				extend to the requester an opportunity to confer with it in an attempt to
				reduce the request to manageable proportions.
(Section 3(g) of FOIA)
				The amended request must be in writing.
b) If the Agency determines that a request is
				unduly burdensome,
it shall do so in writing, specifying the reasons
				why it would be unduly burdensome and the extent to which compliance will so
				burden the operations of the Agency.
The
response shall be
				treated as a denial of the request for information.

				FOIA)
c)
Repeated requests
				from the same person for records that are unchanged or identical to records
				previously provided or properly denied under
this Part
shall
