Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 30 working-days
- Trigger
- The date of receipt of the request by an appropriate records authority or a place of deposit appointed under s.4(1) Public Records Act 1958, where the request relates to a transferred public record not designated as open information
- 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.
- None. Automatic where reg 4(1) is satisfied.
- Applies only where the request relates wholly or partly to information that may be contained in a transferred public record and that has not been designated as open information for the purposes of s.66 FOIA. A request to The National Archives for already-open records attracts the ordinary 20 working days.
