Williams Supervisor ofR ecords January 7, 2015 SPR141784 Ms. Celia Blue Registrar of Motor Vehicles P.O. Box 55889 Boston, MA 02205 Dear Ms. Blue: I have received the petition of David Grossack appealing the nonresponse of the Registry of Motor Vehicles (Registry) to his request for public records. G. L. c. 66 § 10(b); see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(2). Specifically, Mr. Grossack requested information regarding three specifically identified corporations. Having received no response, Mr. Grossack petitioned this office. Under the Public Records Law and the Access Regulations (Regulations) all requests for public records must be met with a response within ten (10) days of the request. G. L. c. 66, § 10(b); 950 C.M.R. 32.05. The response may be an offer to provide records, a fee estimate for provision of the records, or a denial. The Registry is advised that all records custodians must comply with both the Public Records Law and the Regulations with respect to the timeliness of response. This office was notified via telephone on January 6, 2014, by Mr. Grossack, that a response was provided. Whereas this matter was opened based upon the Registry's failure to provide a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Grossack may appeal the substantive nature of the Registry's response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(2). Very truly yours, Shawn A.
