Dear Mr Degan,

Your Freedom of Information Request

I refer to your application dated 22 April 2015 in which you seek access
to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the Act).

Your request was received by this agency on 22 April 2015 and the 30 day
statutory period for processing your request commenced from that date.

You will be notified of any charges in accordance with the Freedom of
Information (Fees and Charges) Regulations, should they apply, in relation
to your request as soon as practicable. 

Information Publication Scheme

Please be advised that in accordance with section 8(2) of the Act, an
agency is required to publish information on their website following the
notification of a decision in respect of a freedom of information
request. 

The requirement to publish information released under FOI reinforces the
objectives of the FOI Act to promote a pro-disclosure culture across
government and to increase recognition that information held by government
is a national resource.  Exceptions to the requirement to publish
information would apply to personal information and information concerning
the business affairs of a person if it was considered ‘unreasonable’ to do
so.  Details of the decision may be published in a Disclosure Log which
can be found at
[1]http://www.afp.gov.au/about-the-afp/info....

If, however, after noting the above, you wish to raise any concerns about
the publication of information concerning your request prior to the
notification of a decision, please advise this office in writing before
(insert due date of decision).  If you do not raise any concerns prior to
the date of the decision, the AFP will publish the information as notified
to you in the decision.

Yours sincerely,

ELISE JONES

Dear Degan,

Your Freedom of Information Request

I refer to your request dated 22 April 2015 seeking access to information
under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the Act).

As your request covers documents which concern contains an individual
persons information the Australian Federal Police is required to consult
with that private individual before making a decision on the release of
those documents. 

Sub-section 15(6) of the Act provides for an extension of 30 days to the
statutory 30 day time limit for processing requests.  The statutory
timeframe for your application commenced on 22 April 2015, therefore, the
time limit for processing your request and notification of a decision will
now expire on 21 June 2015.

If you have any queries regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

Yours sincerely,
