Procedure

Procedure

1. 01

   Specify the information requested: Clues for locating the information, such as the document title, date prepared, responsible department and case number, are stated, and the disclosure method (inspection, copies or electronic files) is chosen. Information held by another institution is transferred to the competent institution, and requests closer to complaints or inquiries may be handled as civil petitions (Article 11(4) and (5)).

2. 02

   Submit the request form: The information disclosure request form (Annex Form No. 1-2 of the Enforcement Rules) is filed via the Information Disclosure Portal, mail, fax or in person. Information already published online may be answered by pointing to its location, and a repeated request for the same information without good reason after receiving a decision may be closed (Article 11-2).

3. 03

   Check the decision notice: The institution decides within 10 days of receipt and, if it extends the period, must notify the extension and reason in writing. If the information concerns a third party, the third party is notified and may request non-disclosure within 3 days of the notice (Article 21).

4. 04

   Review the grounds for non-disclosure: Each item of Article 9(1) cited in the notice is examined. Non-disclosure grounds are limited to eight, personal information (item 6) excludes the names and positions of officials performing duties and information needed for remedying rights, and parts that can be separated must be disclosed (Article 14).

5. 05

   File an objection within 30 days: Within 30 days of receiving the decision notice (or of the 20th day after the request if no decision is made), an objection form (Annex Form No. 9 of the Enforcement Rules) stating the purpose and reasons is filed with the institution. The institution decides within 7 days of receipt and may extend this by up to 7 days for unavoidable reasons.

6. 06

   File an administrative appeal: If the objection is dismissed or rejected, or to challenge the decision without an objection, an appeal is filed under the Administrative Appeals Act within 90 days of learning of the disposition and within 180 days of the disposition. Hwang Yunsang Administrative Office prepares and submits on the client's behalf the disclosure request form, the objection form and the administrative appeal petition.
