Hi Dan
The Department of the Environment and Energy acknowledges receipt of your
request of 8 January 2017.
We are currently scoping your request and will contact you if we need to
discuss your request.
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 7 February 2017.
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.

The Department notified me today that no submissions were received in response to this EPBC referral, and therefore no relevant documents were found to release.
