Assess Request for an Extension of Time (RFI)- By Responsible Authority

This mandatory action is triggered by the Applicant Contact submitting a Request for Extension of Time to provide a response to a request for further information in SPEAR. The Responsible Authority must assess whether to grant the extension of time.

The Responsible Authority has three options when assessing the request:

1. accept (with no changes)
2. accept with changes, or
3. reject.

There is an option for the dates to be changed when accepting the request.

Rejecting the request will leave the timeframe as previously set.

The mandatory action will remain whatever the outcome, only the response date may change.
