Dear Mr. Gelardi,
I write in response to your FOIL request below, emailed April 22, 2022, (and followed up on with a separate email on with a separate email on April 27, 2022) seeking:
All internal and/or interagency memos detailing Freedom of Information Law policies and/or practices sent or received between December 31, 2021 and the present.
Before a determination can be rendered, further review is necessary to locate records, and assess the potential applicability of exemptions. Please be advised that this office receives numerous requests per month, which causes delays in our ability to respond to each request. Therefore, we estimate that we will be able to respond to your request within 60 days of this letter, but hopefully somewhat sooner.
