Thank you for writing to the Office of Open Records regarding the Right-to­Know law, 65 P.S. §§67.101, C«RTKL"). The OOR has received an appeal on May 5, 2009. This letter will explain our process and provide the Agency a copy of the appeal.
The OOR will assign an Appeals Officer to review the case. If all procedural requirements have been met the Appeals Officer will review the file, consult with agency counsel as appropriate, seek any necessary additional information and issue a Final Determination. The Appeals Officer may conduct a hearing, but that decision is non­appealable. If all procedural requirements have not been met the parties will receive a letter stating why the appeal has not been accepted and that no further action is needed.
If additional information is necessary to reach a Final Determination, the Appeals Officer will ask for it in writing with a deadline for submission. If either party would like to submit unsolicited information they must do so within seven (7) business days from the date of this letter and provide a copy to the opposing party. Agencies are reminded that the burden of proof rests with them in citing the exception, law, regulation, judicial order or privilege to deny a request.
The OOR has 30 calendar days to issue a Final Determination. If you would like more information, please see our Web site, http://openrecords.state.pa.us, where all Final Determinations will be posted.
Respectfully,

Terry Mutchler Executive Director
