Article 8Information concerning the Existence or Non-Existence of Administrative Documents

第八条(行政文書の存否に関する情報)

When non-disclosure information is to be disclosed by merely answering whether the administrative document related to a request for disclosure exists or not for a request for disclosure, the head of an administrative organ may refuse the request for disclosure without clarifying whether the administrative document exists or not.

開示請求に対し、当該開示請求に係る行政文書が存在しているか否かを答えるだけで、不開示情報を開示することとなるときは、行政機関の長は、当該行政文書の存否を明らかにしないで、当該開示請求を拒否することができる。
