FOI Delegations
Ben Fairless made this Freedom of Information request to Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre as part of a batch sent to 166 authorities
This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.
Dear Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre,
Under section 23 of the Freedom of Information Act, the principal officer or minister can make arrangements to give their decision making powers to others.
I'm hoping you can provide me with a copy of the current arrangements if possible.
If it helps, I'm happy for you to process this request under "administrative release" (https://www.oaic.gov.au/freedom-of-infor...). This would reduce the cost and time required to make a formal decision.
That said, I understand sometimes you want the request to be formal. If you won't process it informally, please process my request for the document as a formal FOI Request.
Please note - While I volunteer for Right to Know, this request is made in a personal capacity and not on behalf of Right to Know.
Yours faithfully,
Ben Fairless

Good morning Mr Fairless,
Thank you for your request, I appreciate the opportunity you have granted AUSTRAC to process your request administratively.
I will commence the task of locating the document(s) today. Once located, I will discuss the content with my Director and be in a better position to advise if AUSTRAC will release the document to you administratively. I don't anticipate this process will take any longer than 10 calendar days at this stage.
Regards,
Ashley Smith | Senior Privacy and Information Access Officer
