执行董事
公开档案办事处

See 65 P.S. § 67.1101(a)(1).

当局必须通知第三方. If records affect a legal or security interest of an employee of the Authority; contain confidential, proprietary or trademarked records of a person or business entity; or are held by a contractor or vendor, the Authority must notify such parties of the appeal immediately and provide proof of that notice to the OOR within 7 business days from the date of the OOR’s Official Notice of Appeal.

VIII. Mediation

The RTKL requires the OOR to establish an informal mediation process to resolve disputes under the RTKL. 65 P.S. § 67.1310(a)(6). This is a voluntary process to help parties reach a mutually agreeable settlement on records disputes before the OOR. Mediation, a facilitated conversation between the parties that can serve as a fair and efficient tool to resolve conflict, 能节省时间和费用吗. When appropriate, the Authority is open to resolving RTKL disputes through the OOR’s mediation process.

PEA generally follows City of Philadelphia records retention schedules as designated for the Managing Director’s Office except where technological processes must differ for reasons of access or feasibility. 市民可于以下网址查阅本市档案保留政策及时间表 http://www.phila.gov/records/RecordsManagement/Record_Retention_Schedules.html.
