Office of Information Practices

The state Office of Information Practices (OIP) would like to congratulate the six Health Department agencies and one DCCA agency who already uploaded their UIPA Record Request Log totals onto the Master Log at data.hawaii.gov. As a reminder to the other state Executive Branch agencies and the Judiciary, please remember that your semiannual totals for the period from July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 should be added to the semiannual Master Log by the end of this month.

OIP recommends that agencies save a copy of their Log for the first semiannual period as a new file for the annual period and continue adding data to the new annual Log file, whose totals will then be uploaded to data.hawaii.gov in July 2013 onto the Master Log for the annual period. This means that the annual Master Log will reflect all agencies’ totals for the entire fiscal year beginning on July 1 and ending June 30, while the semiannual Master Log will show totals only for the six-month period beginning on July 1 through December 31.

If you have any questions about the Log or uploading it to data.hawaii.gov, please call OIP at 586-1400. For the latest in open government news, please look for these What’s New articles that are posted here, or e-mailed upon request. To be added to OIP’s e-mail list, please e-mail [email protected]
