Tom Nash, a citizen of Virginia, in coordination with Mia Berry Under FOIA, UVA has five working days to respond to your request.  You can expect to receive an initial response by 7/8/2024.  If it is not practically possible to provide the requested records or to determine their availability within five working days, FOIA allows for UVA to request an additional seven working days.  Va. Code § 2.2-3704(A)(4).  If additional time, beyond the seven-work-day period, is needed in order to fulfill your request, we will make reasonable efforts to reach an agreement with you for records production as required under FOIA.  Va.

Additionally, UVA may recover its actual costs incurred in processing your request.  This includes costs incurred in accessing, duplicating, supplying, or searching for the records you have requested, including, but not limited to, the costs of reviewing records to determine whether or not they are public records responsive to your request, exempt under FOIA, or may not lawfully be disclosed pursuant to some other provision of law (See Va. Code §2.2-3704(F)). If costs are likely to exceed $200, as permitted by FOIA, we do require advanced payment prior to fulfilling a request.  Va. Code § 2.2-3704(H).  If costs are likely to be less than $200, actual costs incurred by UVA will be billed to you after you receive your response.  In either case, I will let you know of any costs in advance.
