G. L. c. 66, § lOA; see 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).

Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Lane petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR20/0100, was opened as a result. Based upon a conversation between a Public Records Division staff member and a representative from EOHHS on January 31, 2020, it is my understanding that EOHHS intends on providing a supplemental response to Ms. Lane in regards to her public records request. Accordingly, EOHHS is ordered to provide Ms. Lane with said response within ten (10) business days in compliance with the Public Records Law and Access Regulations. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Ms. Lane may appeal the substantive nature of EOHHS's response within ninety (90) days.
