PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST GUIDELINES
The Rhode Island Airport Corporation (RIAC) adheres to the Access to Public Records Act, R.I.
Gen. Laws § 38-2-1, et. seq., and has instituted the following procedures for the public to obtain
public records.
1.
To reach RIAC’s Official Recorders Keeper by telephone please call (401) 737-
4000 and ask to be connected to with Brian C. Schattle, CFO.
2.
The regular business hours of RIAC are 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. If you come in
after regular business hours, please complete the Public Records Request Form at the
Information desk located between the two central doors on the first floor of the airport terminal
at T.F. Green State Airport and it will be given to Mr. Schattle the following day.
3.
You are not required to provide identification or the reason you seek the
information, and your right to access public records will not depend upon providing
identification or reasons.
4.
In order to ensure that you are provided with the public records you seek in an
expeditious manner, unless you are seeking records available pursuant to the Administrative
Procedures Act or other documents prepared for or readily available to the public, we ask that
you complete the Public Records Request Form located at the front desk, or on our website
http://www.pvdairport.com or otherwise submit your request in writing.
5.
You may also obtain a copy of the Attorney General’s Guide to Open
Government, which can be found at http://www.riag.ri.gov (then proceed to the link entitled
“Open Government”).
6.
Please be advised that the Access to Public Records Act allows a public body ten
(10) business days to respond, which can be extended an additional twenty (20) business days
for “good cause.” We appreciate your understanding and patience.
7.
If you feel that you have been denied access to public records, you have the right
to file a review petition with the President and CEO of RIAC or with the Rhode Island Attorney
General. You may also file a lawsuit in Superior Court.
