FOIA Deadline Tracker
Calculate the statutory response deadline for federal FOIA and state public-records requests. Federal FOIA (5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)) requires 20 working days; state windows range from 3 to 30 days.
Estimates Only — Consult a Licensed Attorney
Federal FOIA permits a one-time 10-working-day extension in “unusual circumstances” (5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(B)). Many state laws have similar tolling for voluminous or complex requests. State holiday schedules are not factored into this calculation. This tool is for general orientation only and is not legal advice.
