Counsel to the Commissioner Litigation Bureau Massachusetts Department of Revenue 100 Cambridge Street, 7th Floor Boston, MA 02114-9565 Dear Attorney Randall: I have received the petition of David McKenna, of Greater Boston Legal Services appealing the nonresponse of the Department of Revenue (Department) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On April 12, 2023, Mr. Mc,Kenna requested the following records: [1.] What total number of self-employed people have opted in to PFML? [2.] What number of self-employed people paid PFML contributions for each quarter in 2022? Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. McKenna petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/1037, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Mr. McKenna with a response dated May 17, 2023. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. McKenna may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: David McKenna One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre • pre@sec.state.ma.us
