§2.16. What is the basic time limit for responding to a request?
43 C.F.R. § 2.16
Ordinarily, the bureau has 20 workdays (including the date of receipt) to determine whether to comply with a request, but unusual circumstances may allow the bureau to take longer than 20 workdays (see § 2.19 of this subpart).
A consultation or referral under § 2.13 of this part does not restart the statutory time limit for responding to a request.
