G. L. c. 66 § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).

Subsequently, the Department provided a supplemental response on December 13, 2021. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the of the Department’s November 29th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Lamontagne may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s December 13th response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
