To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the New York Freedom of Information Law, I hereby request the following records:
Any and all guidance documents that any attorney or engineer of the Real Estate Finance Bureau (REFB) has prepared to facilitate review of offering plans within the past ten years. Such guidance documents would likely include uniform comments that review attorneys and engineers may reference for efficient review of offering plans. For the purpose of this FOIL request, such guidance documents do not include REFB policy memoranda or cooperative policy statements available via the website of the Office of the Attorney General as of the date of this request. I am really looking for a handbook or manual that the Review Section of REFB uses internally. Any such document should be available to the public (as is the Securities & Exchange Commission's Financial Reporting Manual, available at https://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/cffinancialreportingmanual.shtml).
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Jessie Gomez
From: Office of the Attorney General - New York
