(Amendment)

DAR File No.: 37668
Filed: 05/30/2013 04:05:49 PM

RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The purpose of this amendment is to reflect that the Office of Recovery Services (ORS) no longer accepts written requests for the release of information by e-mail.

Summary of the rule or change:

The change deletes Subsection R527-5-3(3), which allowed written requests for the release of information to be sent by e-mail. No other changes are proposed for this rule.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

• Section 62A-11-107
• Title 63G, Chapter 2
• Section 62A-11-304.4

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

No costs are anticipated for the state budget. Receiving all records requests in writing where the agency can be assured of the requester's identity and rights to access agency records provides the agency a greater measure of confidence in the security of the information released.

local governments:

No costs or savings are anticipated for local governments because ORS will continue to accept record requests by mail, by fax or by personal delivery.

small businesses:

No costs or savings are anticipated for small businesses because ORS will continue to accept record requests by mail, by fax, and by personal delivery.

persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

Compliance costs of this rule for persons other than small businesses, businesses or local government entities would only include nominal costs to submit a written request to the Agency to obtain records by mail, by fax or by personal delivery. Because most requests for agency records are received by mail, the proposed rule change will not impact the compliance costs for these persons.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

Compliance costs of this rule for affected persons would only include nominal costs to submit a written request to the Agency to obtain records by mail, by fax or by personal delivery. Because most requests for agency records are received by mail, the proposed rule change will not impact the compliance costs for these affected persons.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

This rule will have no cost to businesses.
