(c) If the requestor fails to respond to a notice of availability as provided under WAC 478-276-090;

(e) As otherwise provided under these rules or by law.

(3) Disposition of records upon closing. Upon the closing of a request, originals of any records assembled in response to the request shall be refiled, and any copies of records may be destroyed.
