Timeline

In most cases, IEDA or IFA staff will confirm the request within five business days. Staff will attempt to fulfill records requests promptly; however, the timing of the release of records will depend on factors such as the scope of the request, the nature of the records requested, and the availability of staff involved in fulfilling the request.

Fees

Expenses for fulfilling a request will be charged to the requester according to the following guidelines:

  • IEDA and IFA each provide two free hours of staff time to search for records, evaluate potentially confidential information and assemble a request. 
  • Any time exceeding two hours is charged at $32 per hour. IEDA or IFA may charge a different hourly rate based on the actual hourly pay rate of staff required to fulfill the request. 
  • IEDA or IFA will provide notice of an anticipated change to the hourly rate.
  • Unless the request can be provided at no charge, an estimate of charges will be provided before fulfilling a request.
  • Payment for searches may be requested before staff begin working.
