6 summary data upon request, if the request is in writing and the requesting party pays for the cost of preparation. The Responsible Authority must notify the requesting party about the estimated costs and collect these costs before preparing or supplying the summary data. This should be done within 10 days after receiving the request. If the summary data cannot be prepared within 10 days, the Responsible Authority must notify the requester of the anticipated time schedule and the reason for the delay. Summary data may be prepared by “blacking out” personal identifiers, cutting out portions of the records that contain personal identifiers, creating a spreadsheet, programming computers to delete personal identifiers, or other reasonable means.
