Dear Alex
Thank you for your request made under the Official Information Act, received on 18
May 2021. You requested:
* Treasury Circular 2019/10: Budget 2020: Requirements and Timeline for
Budget 2020 Initiatives (24 September 2019)
* Treasury Circular 2019/12: Budget 2020 - Timetable and Technical
Requirements for Agencies (18 December 2019)
I have decided under section 15A of the Official Information Act to extend the time limit
for deciding on your request by an additional 15 working days. The new due date for
responding to your request is 7 July 2021.
The extension is required because of the consultations needed to make a decision on
your request.
This extension will also apply to the time limit for transferring your request, should this
become relevant.
Notwithstanding this extension, I undertake to make a decision on your request as
soon as reasonably practicable.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review this decision.
Yours sincerely
Simon Duncan
Team Leader, Budget Management
