Dear Joseph Giarratano:

This email shall acknowledge receipt of your Freedom of Information Law (“FOIL”) request, directed to the MTA.

Please be advised that the MTA FOIL Unit receives a high volume of FOIL requests ranging from simple to complex requests and all documents and records require review prior to disclosure. As a result, documents and records will not be immediately available. Under certain circumstances of the request, such as, the number of documents requested, their format, their availability, the time it takes to identify and locate the requested records and review and redact any information that cannot be disclosed pursuant to FOIL, the time it takes to assemble the documents, and other factors, processing and response times may be delayed. Since the time and effort required to complete a response can vary significantly, the MTA endeavors to complete each request in a time period that is reasonable under the circumstances of the request.

We are currently reviewing your request and anticipate responding within approximately thirty-five (35) business days.

Should it become necessary to inquire further regarding this request, please send a reply which will update this request and refer to your FOIL reference number in your correspondence.
