Iowa Admin. Code r. 265-13.4 - [Effective 4/23/2025] Requests for confidential treatment
(1) A request for confidential treatment must
be submitted in writing to the authority and:
a. Identify the information for which
confidential treatment is sought.
b. Cite the legal and factual basis for
confidential treatment.
c. Identify
the name, address, telephone number, and email address, if available, of the
person authorized to respond to any inquiry or action of the authority
concerning the request.
d. Specify
the precise period of time for which the confidential treatment is requested,
if applicable.
(2) The
authority may request additional factual information from the person requesting
confidential treatment.
(3) The
authority must notify the requester in writing of the granting or denial of the
request. If a request for confidential treatment is denied, the authority shall
notify the requester in writing of the reasons for its denial. Pursuant to Iowa
Code section 22.8, the authority may
reasonably delay examination of the record. However, if the authority
determines that the requester had no reasonable grounds for the request for
confidential treatment, then such record shall not be withheld from public
inspection for any period of time after the denial of the request. The
authority may notify the requester in writing of the time period allowed to
seek injunctive relief or the reasons for the determination that no reasonable
grounds exist to justify the treatment of that record as a confidential record.
The authority may extend the period of good faith, reasonable delay in allowing
examination of the record so that the requester may seek injunctive relief only
if no request for examination of that record has been received, or if a court
directs the authority to treat it as a confidential record, or to the extent
permitted by another applicable provision of law, or with the consent of the
person requesting access.
(4)
Failure of a person to request confidential treatment for a record does not
preclude the authority from treating it as a confidential record.
