G. L. c. 66 § 1O (b ); see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(2). Specifically, Mr. Deibel requested a copy of records related to employees that were hired at MassiT within a specific time period. Having received no response other than an acknowledgment, Mr. Deibel 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. MassiT 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 a response was provided, dated June 25, 2015. Whereas this matter was opened based upon MassiT's failure to provide a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Deibel may appeal the substantive nature ofMassiT's response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(2). Supervisor of Records cc: Mr. Paul A.
