Dear MB

Freedom of Information Request FOI23/040

I refer to your request to the Attorney-General's Department (the
department) under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) for access
to documents.

Your request is for/I have understood your request to be for:

              all of the organisational charts and role descriptions for
staff in relation to the establishment of the National Anti-Corruption
Commission. If final versions do not exist, I request latest draft
versions.

This includes role descriptions for positions yet to be filled.

If you disagree with this interpretation of your request, please let me
know in writing as soon as possible.

The department received your request on 10 January 2023 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 9 February
2023. However, the period of 30 days may be extended if the department
needs to consult third parties or for other reasons. We will advise you if
this happens.

The department's practice is to not disclose personal information of staff
of the department and other government authorities, where that information
is not publicly known or routinely disclosed (e.g. names of junior
officers and contact information). The names of senior officers will
generally be disclosed. In addition, duplicates and incomplete email
chains within the scope of the FOI request will be excluded.

Please note that, with some exceptions (such as personal information),
documents released under the FOI Act may later be published online on the
department's disclosure log

If you have any questions, please contact me on (02) 6141 6666 or by email
to [2][AGD request email].

Dear MB

Freedom of Information Request FOI23/040

I refer to your request to the Attorney-General's Department (the
department) under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) for access
to documents.

The purpose of my email is to seek your agreement to extend the processing
period for your request. Further information about this, including my
reasons for requesting an extension from you, has been set out below for
your consideration and response.  

Extension of Time Request

Under s 15AA of the FOI Act, an agency may extend the initial processing
period for dealing with a request by a further period of no more than 30
days if the applicant agrees in writing to the extension and the agency
gives written notice of the extension to the Information Commissioner as
soon as practicable after the agreement is made.

I would like to request your agreement to extend the processing period for
your request by 14 days. I am requesting this extension of time from you
to ensure the department has sufficient time to process and finalise your
request in accordance with the FOI Act.

Please be assured that we are working to process your request as quickly
as possible however consultation regarding potential disclosure of
documents to you is taking longer than originally anticipated.

If you agree to the requested extension of 14 days, please let me know in
writing at your earliest convenience.

The department received your request on 10 January 2023 and the 30 day
statutory period for processing your request is currently 9 February
2023. 

If you agree to the requested extension, the new due date will be Friday
24 February 2023. However, the department will make every effort to
provide a decision to you as soon as possible.

Please note that if you agree to the extension, the department is required
to notify the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, including
your name and contact details.

If you have any questions, please contact me by telephone on (02) 6141
6666 or by email to [1][AGD request email].

Kind regards
