To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the New York State Freedom of Information Law (1977 N.Y. Laws ch. 933), I hereby request the following records:
a copy of any agreements—since 1/1/2015 between the agency and any law firm or vendor of legal services—that are related, in part or in whole, to federal or state law enforcement investigations.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Luke Stoddard Nathan

To Whom It May Concern:
I wanted to follow up on the following Freedom of Information request, copied below, and originally submitted on Aug. 21, 2017. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response, or if further clarification is needed.

Dear Mr. Nathan:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your Freedom of Information Law request received August 21, 2017, for a copy of any agreements since January 1, 2015 between NYSERDA and any law firm or vendor of legal services that are related, in part or in whole, to federal or state law enforcement investigations.
We have begun processing your request. The nature of your request differs substantially from the requests we ordinarily receive. As such, searching for, reviewing, and (if necessary) redacting potentially responsive records in response to your request is anticipated to take longer than the baseline statutory response timeframe. We estimate that this process may take up to 40 further business days. Once this process is completed, we will contact you regarding access to any records the search may identify. Therefore, you will receive a response or a status update on or before Tuesday, October 25, 2017.
Please feel free to contact Janice Dean of our Counsel’s office at 518-862-1090, extension 3117, should you have any legal questions regarding this matter. Should you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Sal Graven

Good afternoon Mr Nathan,
I tried calling you back but it appears the number I dialed is for a fax machine?
NYSERDA has acknowledged your FOIL request, we just have not formally responded to it with the requested documents. We continue to work on your request, and per my last communication to you 10/25, you should receive a response or status update by November 28.
Thank you.
Best,
Sal
