To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
This is a public records request for a log of all formal requests your transportation department has received under your state public records law from August 1, 2020, to October 31, 2020.
Included in that log of requests, I am seeking all categories/fields included in the log that are publicly releasable under law. They might include such categories as:
-Tracking number of the request
-Date of the request
-Name of the requester
-Organizational affiliation of the requester
-Requester contact information (email preferred)
-Subject matter of the request
-Status of the request (pending, closed, etc.)
-Date the request was completed, closed or perfected
-The result of the request (granted, granted in part, denied, withdrawn, administrative closure, etc.)
-Exemption cited, if any
-Fee category assigned to requester (commercial, educational, news media, other)
-Whether a fee waiver was requested, whether it was granted
-Fees charged to the requester, if any
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.
This request is filed by Tom Nash, a citizen of Virginia, in coordination with A.Jay Wagner.

Mr. Nash,
This response regards your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request
received in this office on January 25, 2022. You requested certain records
pertaining to FOIA requests received by the Virginia Department of
Transportation between August 1, 2020, and October 31, 2020.
Please be advised that it is practically impossible to provide the
requested records or determine whether they are available within the five
working days required by FOIA because more time is needed to research
records. Therefore, we are invoking subsection B 4 of § 2.2-3704 to
provide us with seven additional working days to respond to your request.
Thank you for contacting this office.
Best,
Amy
