Requests must be for records in the possession of or prepared, owned, used, or retained by 
the ELCP, and requests should be for sufficiently identifiable records. 

If a request is insufficient to identify the documents requested, you will be 
contacted as soon as possible for clarification.

If a request includes information that is confidential or otherwise exempt from public 
inspection or copying, the records will not be provided.
