Article 83Due Date of a Decisions on Disclosure

第八十三条(開示決定等の期限)

Decisions on disclosure must be made within thirty days from the date of the request for disclosure; provided, however, that if an amendment is requested pursuant to the provisions of Article 77, paragraph (3), the number of days required for the amendment is not included within that period of time.

開示決定等は、開示請求があった日から三十日以内にしなければならない。ただし、第七十七条第三項の規定により補正を求めた場合にあっては、当該補正に要した日数は、当該期間に算入しない。

Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, if there are justifiable grounds such as difficulties arising from conducting processes, an administrative organ's head or administrative entity may extend the period of time prescribed in that paragraph for up to thirty days. In this case, the administrative organ's head or administrative entity must notify the person requesting disclosure in writing of the extended period and the grounds for the extension, without delay.

前項の規定にかかわらず、行政機関の長等は、事務処理上の困難その他正当な理由があるときは、同項に規定する期間を三十日以内に限り延長することができる。この場合において、行政機関の長等は、開示請求者に対し、遅滞なく、延長後の期間及び延長の理由を書面により通知しなければならない。
