10 administrative business days from receipt. Exceptionally extendable for 10 additional business days when circumstances make gathering the information difficult.

  • Defense, intelligence, and national security
  • Personal data with no public interest justification
  • Commercial and industrial secrets causing competitive harm
  • Internal deliberative opinions and recommendations
  • Active judicial or administrative investigations

Denial must be ordered by an official of equivalent or higher rank than Program Chief and must be reasoned in writing, explicitly citing the legal provision supporting refusal. Partial access applies where only part of a document is exempt.
