FOIA Request

弗吉尼亚信息自由法案-权利和责任

tg反波胆足球平台社区学院(VHCC)在弗吉尼亚信息自由法案下的请求者权利和责任

 

弗吉尼亚信息自由法案(FOIA),位于§2.2-3700 et seq. of the Code of Virginia, 保障联邦公民和媒体代表能够查阅公共机构持有的公共记录, public officials, and public employees.

 

A public record is any writing or recording — regardless of whether it is a paper record, an electronic file, 录音:录音或录像, 或任何其他格式-准备或拥有的, 或由公共机构或其官员拥有的, employees, 或代理公共事务的交易.  所有的公共记录都应该是公开的, 只有在特定情况下才可以保留, 法定豁免适用.

 

《tg反波胆足球平台》的政策指出,《tg反波胆足球平台》的目的是提高所有人对政府活动的认识. In furthering this policy, 《tg反波胆足球平台》要求自由地解释法律, in favor of access, and that any exemption allowing public records to be withheld must be interpreted narrowly.

Your FOIA Rights

  • You have the right to request to inspect or receive copies of public records, or both.

·       You have the right to request that any charges for the requested records be estimated in advance.  公共机构必须以书面通知请求人,公共机构可收取合理的费用,但不得超过查阅资料所产生的实际成本, duplicating, supplying, 或者搜索所请求的记录,并询问请求者是否希望在提供所请求的记录之前请求成本估算.

  • 如果你认为你的《tg反波胆足球平台》权利被侵犯了, you may file a petition in district or circuit court to compel compliance with FOIA. Alternatively, you may contact the FOIA Council for a nonbinding advisory opinion.

 

Making a Request for records from tg反波胆足球平台社区学院

 

  • 你可以索取美国的记录.S. 邮件,电子邮件,亲自,或通过电话.  《tg反波胆足球平台》并不要求你的请求必须是书面的, nor do you need to specifically state that you are requesting records under FOIA.

 

o从实际的角度来看, it may be helpful to both you and the person receiving your request to put your request in writing.  这允许您创建请求的记录.  It also gives us a clear statement of what records you are requesting, 这样就不会对口头请求产生误解.  However, we cannot refuse to respond to your FOIA request if you elect to not put it in writing.

 

  • Your request must identify the records you are seeking with “reasonable specificity.“这是一个常识性的标准.  It does not refer to or limit the volume or number of records that you are requesting; instead, it requires that you be specific enough so that we can identify and locate the records that you are seeking.
  • 您的请求必须要求提供现有的记录或文件.  《tg反波胆足球平台》赋予你查阅或复制的权利 records; it does not apply to a situation where you are asking general questions about the work of VHCC, 也不要求VHCC创建一个不存在的记录.
  • You may choose to receive electronic records in any format used by VHCC in the regular course of business.

o   For example, 如果您要求保存在Excel数据库中的记录, 您可以选择以电子方式接收这些记录, 通过电子邮件或电脑磁盘, 或者收到这些记录的打印副本.

 

  • 如果我们对您的要求有疑问, please cooperate with staff’s efforts to clarify the type of records that you are seeking, or to attempt to reach a reasonable agreement about a response to a large request.  根据《tg反波胆足球平台》提出要求并不是一个对抗的过程, but we may need to discuss your request with you to ensure that we understand what records you are seeking.
