                       Subpart G--Time Limitations
 
Sec. 902.62  Extension of time limits.

    (a) In unusual circumstances, the time limits prescribed in 
Secs. 902.60 and 902.61 may be extended by written notice to the person 
making the request. The notice shall set forth the reasons for the 
extension and the date on which a determination is expected to be 
dispatched. Under no circumstances shall the notice specify a date that 
would result in an extension for more than 10 workdays.
    (b) As used in this section, unusual circumstances means (but only 
to the extent reasonably necessary to the proper processing of the 
particular request):
    (1) The need to search for, collect and appropriately examine a 
voluminous amount of separate and distinct records which are demanded in 
a single request;
    (2) The need to search for and collect the requested records from 
field facilities or other establishments that are separate from the 
office processing the request; or
    (3) The need for consultation, which shall be conducted with all 
practicable speed, with another agency having a substantial interest in 
the determination of the request or among two or more components of the 
agency having substantial subject matter interest therein.
    (c) Any person having made a request for records under this part 
shall have exhausted his administrative remedies with respect to such 
request, if the Corporation fails to comply with the applicable time 
limitations set forth in this subject.
