Iowa Administrative Code
Agency 751 - TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND TECHNOLOGY COMMISSION, IOWA
Chapter 2 - PUBLIC RECORDS AND FAIR INFORMATION PRACTICES
Rule 751-2.2 - Definitions

As used in this chapter:

"Commission " means the Iowa telecommunications and technology commission.

"Confidential record" means a record which is not available as a matter of right for examination and copying by members of the public under applicable provisions of law. Confidential records include records or information contained in records that the commission is prohibited by law from making available for examination by members of the public, and records or information contained in records that are specified as confidential by Iowa Code section 22.7 or other provision of law, but that may be disclosed upon order of a court, the lawful custodian of the record, or by another person duly authorized to release the record. Mere inclusion in a record of information declared confidential by an applicable provision of law does not necessarily make that entire record a confidential record.

"Custodian " means the commission or a person lawfully delegated authority by its executive director to act for the commission in implementing Iowa Code chapter 22.

"Open record" means a record other than a confidential record.

"Personally identifiable information " means information about or pertaining to an individual in a record which identifies the individual and which is contained in a record system.

"Record" in these rules means the whole or a part of a "public record" as defined in Iowa Code section 22.1.

"Record system " means any group of records under the control of the commission from which a record may be retrieved by a personal identifier such as the name of an individual, number, symbol or other unique retriever assigned to an individual.

"Subject" means that person identified in a record.
