Re: Request for Records Under the California Public Records Act
Dear Sir/Madam:
Pursuant to Government Code Section 6253, and Rules 250.9 and 250.9.1 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations, I hereby request access to and/or copies of the following documents, which are filed with, retained by, or prepared by the Department of Corporations:
[Reasonably describe identifiable records as required by
Government Code section 6253, subdivision (b).]
Please respond within ten (10) business days from the date the Department receives this request as to whether this request specifies identifiable records that are not exempt from disclosure under the act, or are privileged or otherwise confidential, and therefore subject to disclosure. I understand that this time may be extended up to 14 days for unusual circumstances, as provided by Government code section 6253, subdivision (c), and that I will be notified of such extension, if any, and the reasons therefor.
I understand that pursuant to Rule 260.617 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations, I may obtain copies of the requested documents at a cost of 30 cents per page, and may obtain certified copies at a cost of two dollars for each certificate, plus 30 cents for each page to be certified. I further understand that copies may also be sent to me via facsimile at a cost of one dollar per page.
I am also aware that if the requested records are too voluminous, the Department may provide me with access to the records to enable me to review and photocopy them with my own equipment and at my own expense.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
