Routine requests will be processed within one business day of receipt.

All negative responses for records not located will be submitted to the requesting agency in the same manner the reference request was submitted to the records center. For example, if you fax a request and we are unable to locate the record (because it was previously charged out or the records locator information was incorrect, etc.), we will fax a copy of your request, indicating the reason we cannot send the requested record to you.
