From:
My name is John Masterson. I represent the Wyoming Infrastructure Authority and write in response to two Public Records Requests the WIA has received from Mr. Matt Kasper. I'm using the e-mail addresses from the requests in the hope this response will be received by Mr. Kasper.
First, this e-mail acknowledges my receipt of the two referenced requests on Sunday, March 11, 2018. The first request asks for "electronic records that contain the following keywords:"
"carbon tax"
"War on Utah Coal"
"Peabody"
"Murray Energy"
"Cloud Peak Energy"
"ACCCE"
"American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity"
"Powder River Coal"
"Alpha Coal West"
"Arch Coal"
"Black Thunder"
"HB 123"
"House Bill 123"
The second request seeks "all electronic correspondence between the Wyoming Infrastructure Authority and:"
Peabody Energy
Murray Energy
Canyon Consolidated Resources
Wyoming Mining Association
Cloud Peak Energy
American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE)
Powder River Coal
Alpha Coal
Arch Coal
Thunder Basin
Rep. Chuck Gray
Rep. Dennis Biteman
Rep. Scott Clem
Rep. Timothy Hallinan
Rep. Marti Halverson
Both requests seek records from Mr. Jason Begger and Ms. Sarah Young of the WIA, ad cover the time period from September 1, 2017 to the date of our response to the requests.
Second, I need to make you aware that the WIA needs to coordinate the responses to these requests with the Wyoming Attorney General's Office. We have reached out to them already.
As of this writing, it is unknown whether the WIA is the custodian of any records that may be responsive to your request but we are in the process of determining that answer. We do know however, that if we are the custodian of the records, they are either in active use or storage. When we determine if we have any responsive documents, we will notify you and begin the process of retrieving, compiling and reviewing the records. We will contact you again when the records responsive to your request are available. Consistent with the Wyoming Public Records Act, we will compile and review these records in a timely manner.
As to the fees associated with your request, please be aware that the WIA does have an established policy for the payment of costs for identifying, reviewing, and producing materials responsive to Public Records Requests. Unfortunately, I cannot give you an estimate of those costs at this time as we do not know how many documents will be located using the keywords you've provided. Should we turn out to be the custodian of these records however, we will advise you of an estimated cost once the number of possibly responsive documents is determined.
Please contact me should you have any further questions.
Regards,
John
