your request as quickly as possible, we are seeking your agreement to
revise your scope to the following key documents:

 

•            Classification Board reports

•            Classifiers blues papers, and

•            Classification Certificate.

 

We would be grateful if you could respond by COB Wednesday 12 February

The Board may impose a charge for the work involved in providing access to
the documents in accordance with the Freedom of Information (Charges)
Regulations. You will be notified separately if the Board decides to
impose a charge. There is no charge for documents that contain your own
personal information.

 

Where documents are released to you under the FOI Act in response to your
request, the Board must publish those documents on its FOI Disclosure Log
within 10 business days of their release to you, unless they contain
personal information or business affairs information that would be
unreasonable to publish. Further information regarding the Department’s
