Dear Mr Everett

Freedom of Information Request FOI17/102

I refer to your request under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI
Act) for access to documents pertaining to the Special Purposes prohibited
importation authority, specifically the following:

        all documents pertaining to the Special Purposes prohibited
importation authority granted as 096IP/2017.

I note that your application relates to a particular application to import
firearms and/or firearm-related articles under the Customs (Prohibited
Imports) Regulations 1956. It is likely that this information is sensitive
information to the applicant and therefore unlikely it will be able to be
released to you.

However, if you require information about how to import firearms or
firearm-related articles, you can find that information online at:
[1]https://www.ag.gov.au/LegalSystem/Firear... or by
calling the Firearms Team directly on (02) 6141 2730 between 10-12:30 or
1:30-4pm Monday to Friday.

Accordingly, if you would like to withdraw your request could you please
advise me by return e-mail.

In the event that you wish to proceed with this request I have provided
some additional information below which forms part of the department’s FOI
acknowledgment notification.

We received your request on 27 May 2017 and the 30 day statutory period
for processing your request commenced from the day after that date. You
should therefore expect a decision from us by 26 June 2017. The period of
30 days may be extended if we need to consult third parties or for other
reasons. We will advise you if this happens.

It is the usual practice of the department to not disclose the names and
contact details of junior officers of the department and other government
agencies, where that personal information is contained in documents within
the scope of a request.  The names and contact details of senior officers
will generally be disclosed.  We will take it that you agree to the
removal of junior officers’ personal information unless you advise that
you would like us to consider releasing that information as part of the
documents you have requested.

Please note that information released under the FOI Act may later be
published online on our disclosure log
[2]http://www.ag.gov.au/RightsAndProtection...,
subject to certain exceptions. (For example, personal information will not
be published where this would be unreasonable.)

We will contact you using the email address you provided. Please advise if
you would prefer us to use an alternative means of contact.

If you have any questions, please contact [3][AGD request email].

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Everett,

Freedom of Information Request no. FOI17/102 - Third party consultation
notice

I refer to your request for access to documents related to the Special
Purposes prohibited importation authority granted as 096IP/2017 under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act).  As your request covers
documents which contain information concerning the business, commercial or
financial affairs of an organisation, or a person’s business or
professional affairs the Department is required to consult with the person
or organisation concerned (the applicant) (under section 27 of the FOI
Act) before making a decision on the release of those documents.

For this reason the period for processing your request has been extended
by 30 days in order to allow the Department time to consult with the
applicant (section 15(6) of the FOI Act). The processing period for your
request will now end on 8 July 2017.

I note that in your e-mail of 6 June 2017 you advised that you have been
closely associated with the application process. However, the application
was submitted by someone else. Could you please advise whether you consent
to the Department providing your identity to the applicant as the person
who has made the FOI request.  In the event that you do not agree, we will
consult with the applicant without disclosing your identity.

The consultation mechanism under section 27 applies when we believe the
person or organisation concerned may wish to contend that the requested
documents are exempt because their release would disclose trade secrets or
commercially valuable information or may adversely affect their business
or financial affairs. We will take into account any comments we receive
from the applicant but the final decision about whether to grant you
access to the documents you requested rests with this Department.

More information about exemptions under the FOI Act is available in Fact
Sheet 8 on the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner’s
website:

Dear Mr Everett

Thank you very much for letting us know.

The department has also identified a number of additional documents relating to its communications with additional third parties including state and territory agencies, which currently form part of the scope of your request.

Could you please advise whether you are interested in obtaining access to these documents, or whether you agree to exclude them from the scope of your request.

Excluding these documents from the scope of your request will eliminate the requirement to conduct additional consultations. Decreasing the amount of documents in scope of your request will also decrease the amount of FOI processing charges that may be issued during the processing of your request.

Yours sincerely
