When it will not compromise the effectiveness of an investigation, the Office shall exercise the right of access under A.R.S. § 41-1378 by giving the agency at least 10 days notice before conducting interviews, examining necessary records, or requiring the production of information. An agency may request an extension to this period for a compelling reason. The ombudsman-citizens' aide shall grant a request for extension unless the ombudsman-citizens' aide believes a delay will cause significant harm or damage.
