When inspection of public records is not permitted within three (3) business days of the custodian's receipt of the written request, the custodian must prepare a written response to a written request to inspect the department's public records, as required by Section 14-2-8 NMSA 1978. The custodian may consult with other department employees concerning the records identified in the written request, and may authorize an appropriate person in the employment of the department, for example, an attorney, a computer data specialist, or a medical records administrator, to respond to a specific request.
