April 30, 2024 Reference Number: E410759-042124 Nina Ignaczak MuckRock News DEPT MR162412 Boston, MA 02115 Dear Nina Ignaczak:
This notice responds to your request for records, received by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) requesting information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), MCL 15.231 et seq.
Your request will be granted as to existing, nonexempt records in EGLE’s possession falling within the scope of the request.
Section 4(4) of the FOIA, MCL 15.234(4), provides that a public body must provide a detailed itemization that clearly lists and explains the allowable charges for the necessary copying of a public record for inspection; actual mailing costs; actual incremental cost of duplication or publication, including labor; and the cost of search, examination, review, and deletion and separation of exempt from nonexempt information, which compose the total fee for estimating and charging purposes.
To commence the processing of the request, under section 4(8) of the FOIA, MCL 15.234(8), EGLE requires a one-half good faith deposit of $520.20 based on an estimated total cost of $1,040.39. Failure to charge would result in an unreasonably high cost to EGLE in this particular instance because employees must be taken away from pending work to process the request and expend additional time to complete regularly assigned departmental work. Please refer to the invoice for a breakdown of the fees assessed.
After receipt of $520.20, EGLE will complete the processing of the request within an estimated 30 business days. Section 4(8) of the FOIA, MCL 15.234(8), provides that the time frame estimate is nonbinding upon the public body, but the public body shall provide the estimate in good faith and strive to be reasonably accurate and provide the public records in a manner based on this state’s public policy set forth in section 1(2) of the FOIA, MCL 15.231(2), and the nature of the request in the particular instance. Section 4(14) of the FOIA, MCL 15.234(4)(14), provides that if a deposit that is required under subsection (8) or (11) is not received by the public body within 45 days from receipt by the requesting person of the notice that a deposit is required, and if the requesting person has not filed an appeal of the deposit amount pursuant to section 10a, the request shall be considered abandoned by the requesting person and the public body is no longer required to fulfill the request. Notice of a deposit requirement under subsection (8) or (11) is considered received 3 days after it is sent, regardless of the means of transmission. Notice of a deposit requirement under subsection (8) or (11) must include notice of the date by which the deposit must be received, which date is 48 days after the date the notice is sent [June 17, 2024].
Upon completing the processing of the request, EGLE will send notice of the balance due, the statutory basis for exemptions, if any, and the statutory remedial rights, if applicable. After receipt of the balance due, copies of the records will be provided to you. You may submit the payment online, please visit the following link: FOIA Payment Center.
If you would like to discuss whether the request can be refined to reduce the costs, or you have any other questions, please access your online account and reply to this message there. To review a copy of EGLE's FOIA policy and procedure, public written summary, and several online databases, go to www.michigan.gov/eglefoia. (www.michigan.gov/eglefoia) Kind regards, EGLE FOIA
