Hi Dan

 

Could you please clarify if you are seeking the public submissions.

 

The Department of the Environment and Energy acknowledges receipt of your
request of 29 November 2016.

 

The Department is required to process your request within 30 days after
the day your request was received. This 30 day processing period may be
extended under certain circumstances, for example, where the Department
decides it reasonable to consult with third parties. If the processing
period is extended, you will be informed of the extension and the reasons
for it. As at the date of writing, the statutory deadline for providing a
decision on this request is 29 December 2016.

 

The Department makes two assumptions that affect the scope of your
request. These are set out below.

 

It is the usual practice of the Department:

•                    not to disclose the personal information of junior
officers or the personal contact details of senior officers of the State
or Federal governments (including those of the Department). The names of
senior officers will generally be released. Your request will be processed
on the assumption that you do not intend to capture these details within
its scope.

•                    not to release duplicates of any document captured
within the scope of the request. Further, where two documents fall within
the scope one differs from the other only with respect to minor editorial
changes (such as spelling or grammar corrections), only the later version
of the document  will be treated as within scope.  Your request will be
processed on the assumption that you do not intend to capture duplicates
or documents that the Department considers duplicates (as per the above
explanation) within the scope of your request.

 

Please inform us if you do not agree to your request being processed by
the Department on the above assumptions.

 

Please note that information released under the FOI Act may later be
published online on our disclosure log.

 

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

 

If you have any questions, please contact the FOI team on (02) 6274 2098.

 

Regards

Hi Dan

 

Thanks for the further info – we’re just making sure we capture the
documents you are looking for.

 

Given the below, are you happy with us to proceed with your FOI request
with the revised scope?

 

The public submissions (including those made by individuals, corporations
and public entities) made in response to the Draft Variation to the
National Environment Protection (National Pollutant Inventory) Measure
that discuss the NPI reporting exemption for Aquaculture facilities.

 

Note that I have removed the original “support or opposition” wording from
your request to ensure that it captures documents that may discuss the
exemption, but not express “support or opposition” for it.

 

Regards
