Gaming Facility Location Board’s and Gaming Commission’s review of

from the Freedom of Information Law.
Catskills/Hudson Valley (Region 1)
Capital Region (Region 2)
Eastern Southern Tier (Region 5)
Per IV.F. "PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF APPLICATION MATERIALS" of the
Request for Applications:
“The
Board intends to treat Applications as public records and will make
them available to the public, with applicable exemptions pursuant to the
FOIL. The FOIL provides
for certain exemptions from public disclosure including, among others,
an exemption from disclosure for trade secrets or information the
disclosure of which would cause substantial injury to the competitive
position of a commercial enterprise. This exemption
applies both during and after the evaluation process. The FOIL also
provides an exemption for records that are “specifically exempted from
disclosure by state or federal statute.” PML Section 1313.2, provides
an exemption from disclosure under the FOIL for
“trade secrets, competitively sensitive or other proprietary
information provided in the course of an application for a gaming
license, the disclosure of which would place the applicant at a
competitive disadvantage.” See also, Section 87.2.(d) of the New
York Public Officers Law … All determinations concerning whether
Applications and/or related documents submitted in response to this RFA
are subject to disclosure under the FOIL will be made by the Board or
the Commission, as applicable, in their sole discretion.”
