AGENCY: This document contains rules that amend the regulations of the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (Commission) to codify the Commission’s Access to Records Policy providing rules and procedures for the public to request and receive the Commission’s public records. DATES: The rule is effective March 19, 2018. SUMMARY: Susquehanna River Basin Commission, 4423 N Front Street, Harrisburg, PA 17110–1788. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jason E.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of proposed rulemaking was published in the Federal Register on October 12, 2017 (82 FR 47407); New York Register on October 25, 2017; Pennsylvania Bulletin on October 21, 2017; and Maryland Register on October 27, 2017. The Commission convened a public hearing on November 2, 2017, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. A written comment period was held open through November 13, 2017. The Commission received one comment on the proposed rule, which ADDRESSES: PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 11875 was supportive of the Commission’s efforts to formalize its Access to Records Policy. The Commission also received two comments after the close of the official public comment period suggesting some changes to rulemaking. Based upon input from the Commission’s member jurisdictions, subsection (b)(4) is amended and a new subsection (f) is added to create an exception to records subject to public access for those internal, pre-decisional deliberations between staff and member jurisdictions working in cooperation with the Commission. The Commission will also modify § 801.14(b)(1) to clarify that it does not prohibit the Commission from providing salary information in response to records requests, as the Commission has historically released these records upon request. Section 801.14(b)(8) is also modified to exclude the provision of financial documents related to critical infrastructure. Based on public input the Commission clarifies the following: • The Commission does intend to review and revisit its Access to Records Policy after adoption of the final rule to update its procedures. • The final rule, § 801.14(c)(3), provides that the Commission must respond in a reasonable time frame. The Commission works with requesters and generally responds to records requests within 30 days of the request. The reasonable timeframe language allows the Commission to deal with requests varying in complexity and magnitude while continuing to balance prompt access to records with the agency’s other obligations and limitations. Through this final rule, the Commission continues its long tradition of transparency by formalizing the key elements of its Access to Records Policy in duly promulgated regulations.

create an exception to records subject to public access for those 
internal, pre-decisional deliberations between staff and member

critical infrastructure.
    Based on public input the Commission clarifies the following:
     The Commission does intend to review and revisit its 
Access to Records Policy after adoption of the final rule to update its

30 days of the request. The reasonable timeframe language allows the
