Response Timeline
15 business days (días hábiles) from submission of request. A single extension of 15 additional business days is permitted when circumstances make gathering the information difficult. Agency must notify the requester of the extension before the initial deadline expires. Administrative silence, vague answers, or incomplete information are treated as 'denegatoria injustificada' (unjustified denial).
