§ 10106. Posting Guidelines.

(a) Every agency shall establish written guidelines for

accessibility of records and stating the procedures to be followed

when making its records available in accordance with this

Chapter. The guidelines shall include a mailing address, fax

number and electronic mail address to which a person can send

requests for copies of public records. The guidelines shall also

include the records exempted from disclosure of which the

agency is a custodian, as prescribed in Subsection (b) of this

Section. A copy of these guidelines shall be posted in a

conspicuous public place at the offices of each agency, and a

copy of the guidelines shall be available upon request free of

charge to any person requesting the agency’s records. Each

agency shall also make the guidelines and list of disclosable and

non-disclosable documents available by computer

telecommunications within one (1) year of the effective date of

this Chapter.

(b) Every public officer in charge of an agency having

custody of records shall, within sixty (60) days after the effective

date of this Act, compile a list containing categorized

descriptions of all writing in the custody of the agency which

said agency considers non-public and non-disclosable as

prescribed in § 10108 of this Chapter, and submit the list to the

Speaker of I Liheslaturan Guåhan for approval by I Liheslaturan

Guåhan. The list for each agency shall be referred by the Rules

COL5/8/2020

Committee to the appropriate oversight committees, which shall

hold a public hearing on each list before the list is put on I

Liheslaturan Guåhan’s session agenda for approval. Such

approved list shall be used as a guide for determination of non-

disclosable records by agency employees and may be amended

by I Liheslaturan Guåhan at any time. All documents not

included on this list shall be considered public writings. If no

such list is promulgated by the agency within (60) days, all

documents and records shall be public unless non-public and

non-disclosable pursuant to § 10108. If a list is not approved by I

Liheslaturan Guåhan within ninety (90) days of submission

thereof, it shall be deemed approved on the expiration of the

ninety (90) days.
