From: Benjamin Lesser
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the New York State Freedom of Information Law (1977 N.Y. Laws ch. 933), I hereby request the following records:
A copy of the current list by subject matter, of all records in the possession of the agency.
Per NEW YORK PUBLIC OFFICERS LAW, ARTICLE 6, Section 87(3):
"Each agency shall maintain:
[....]
(c) a reasonably detailed current list by subject matter, of all records in the possession of the agency, whether or not available under this article. Each agency shall update its subject matter list annually, and the date of the most recent update shall be conspicuously indicated on the list."
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.
In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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,
Benjamin Lesser

Dear Mr. Lesser:
I am responding to your e-mail dated December 17, 2014, which, although not directed to the NYS Office of Information Technology Services (“ITS”) Records Access Officer, ITS will treat as a request pursuant to the Freedom of Information Law (Public Officers Law, Article 6, “FOIL”). Your request seeks from ITS pursuant to FOIL “a copy of the current list by subject matter, of all records in the possession of the agency. ”
To the extent that your request reasonably describes records within the possession of ITS, and in accordance with the provisions of FOIL, ITS will retrieve those records that are responsive to your request and will review the same for accessibility purposes under that Law. In this regard, FOIL does not require an agency to prepare any record that it does not ordinarily possess or maintain. See FOIL § 89(3).
The process of retrieving and evaluating records in ITS’ possession that are responsive to your request is expected to take approximately twenty (20) business days. ITS will contact you by January 23, 2015, concerning the existence and accessibility of any records in its possession that are within the scope of your request.
