When is the deadline for eir response to a request for environmental information?
The catalogue records a 20 working-days period from The date of receipt of the request. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
Source link required
This page is in preparation. It does not offer an automated deadline or a paid record until the missing source or calculator evidence is complete.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 20 working-days
- Trigger
- The date of receipt of the request
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- The only extension is reg 7, to 40 working days, and only on the reg 7(1) test of complexity and volume. There is no public interest extension under the EIR: this is the single biggest divergence from FOIA and a frequent error. An authority that needs longer to weigh the public interest under reg 12(1)(b) must still respond within 20 working days unless reg 7 is properly engaged.
- There is no equivalent of the s.10(4) extended periods, so schools and archives get 20 working days under the EIR even where they would get 60 or 30 under FOIA. "Working day" is imported from FOIA: reg 2(1) provides that "'working day' has the same meaning as in section 10(6) of the Act", so the same UK-wide bank holiday exclusion applies. There is no fee-notice clock stop equi
