Sec. 102.3  How long will it take for SBA to respond to my request for records?

    (a) If you have met the fee requirements of Sec. 102.8, SBA will 
respond within 10 working days after the correct office receives your 
request, unless you have requested an especially large number of 
records, the records are not located in the office handling the request, 
or SBA needs to consult with another government office.
    (b) If you make your request on behalf of another person, SBA will 
respond within 10 working days after you present a document signed by 
that person authorizing you to request information on his or her behalf. 
If you make your request on behalf of another person without including 
such signed authorization, SBA will inform you of the authorization 
needed.
    (c) If you send your request to the wrong office, that office will 
send it to the correct office within 10 working days and will send you 
an acknowledgment letter.
    (d) If SBA determines that one of the circumstances described in 
paragraph (a) of this section apply, it will respond within 20 working 
days of the date upon which the correct office receives your request, 
and will notify you that the extra time is required.
