G. L. c. 66 § 1O (b ); see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(2). Specifically, Mr. Anderson requested copies of "email communications between the Boston Police Department and the National Security Agency from September 1, 2011, to December 30, 2011; April12, 2013, to April25, 2013; and March 1, 2014 to April25, 2014." This request was the subject of a previous appeal. See SPR16/628 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (September 2, 2016). In a response to this Determination, the Department provided Mr. Anderson with a revised fee estimate. The basis of Mr. Anderson's petition is the discrepancy in fee estimates the Department has provided him. Conclusion I understand a member of my staff contacted your office about this matter and provided you with a copy of the file related to this appeal. You indicated the Department would provide Mr. Anderson with a supplemental response regarding this matter. Accordingly, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed with the proviso that the Department provide Mr. Anderson with a supplemental response to his request. Mr. Anderson may appeal the substantive nature of the Department's response within ninety (90) days. See 50 C.M.R 32.08(2).
