Swarm Lab documents

Dear Mr. Nash:

This will acknowledge and respond to your Public Records Act request below.
Appropriate offices are being notified of your request. Records identified
as responsive to your request will be reviewed, and made available for your
access, in accordance with relevant law and University policy. The
estimated date of production is at least 8 weeks, which will vary
accordingly due to the nature, complexity, and/or length of the request.
Whenever possible we will provide records on a rolling basis, as they
become available.

Although the requested records have not yet been fully gathered and
reviewed, it is possible that the requested material may contain
information exempt from disclosure pursuant to the Public Records Act.
However, this is not a determination that the requested records are
necessarily exempt from disclosure. This office will provide you with a
status update after the requested records have been thoroughly reviewed.

Please note that the California Public Records Act allows agencies to make
records available “upon payment of fees covering direct costs of
duplication.” (Government Code Section 6253(b)). The charge for disclosable
records are normally provided at a cost of $0.20 per page for scanned or
paper copy, and will be sent upon receipt of payment of all
scanning/copying costs.

To submit future records requests, please contact us at pra@berkeley.edu.

Regards,

Liane Ko
Public Records Coordinator
