When is the deadline for foia commissioner-specified period: armed forces operations, or information held outside the uk?
The catalogue records a 60 working-days period from The date of receipt of the request; the authority's application to the Commissioner must itself be made within 20 working days of that date. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.

Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 60 working-days
- Trigger
- The date of receipt of the request; the authority's application to the Commissioner must itself be made within 20 working days of that date
- 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.
