L. c. 66 § 1O (b ); see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(2). Specifically, Mr. DiGregorio requested records regarding himself. Having received no response, Mr. DiGregorio 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, § lO(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 Department is advised that all records custodians must comply with both the Public Records Law and the Regulations with respect to the timeliness of response. Subsequent to the intervention by a member of my staff, this office was notified that responses were provided to Mr. DiGregorio's attorney, Catherine Sullivan Ledwidge. Attorney Sullivan Ledwidge forwarded the responses to Mr. DiGregorio. Whereas this matter was opened based upon the Department's failure to provide a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. DiGregorio may appeal the substantive nature of the Department's response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(2). Supervisor of Records cc: Mr. Kevin DiGregorio Ms. Catherine B.
