Section 5176.405  Requests for Records that the Board Considers Unduly Burdensome

a)         The Board will fulfill requests calling for all records falling within a category unless compliance with the request would unduly burden the Board, there is no way to narrow the request, and the burden on the Board outweighs the public interest in the information.  Before invoking this exemption, the Board will extend to the requester an opportunity to confer with it in an attempt to reduce the request to manageable proportions.  (Section 3(g) of FOIA)  The amended request must be in writing.

b)         If the Board determines that a request is unduly burdensome, it shall do so in writing, specifying the reasons why it would be unduly burdensome and the extent to which compliance will so burden the operations of the Board. The response shall be treated as a denial of the request for information.  (Section 3(g) of FOIA)

c)         Repeated requests from the same person for records that are unchanged or identical to records previously provided or properly denied under this Part shall be deemed unduly burdensome. (Section 3(g) of FOIA)
