Dear Watson Norwood

Acknowledgement of Freedom of Information Request No: LEX 73934

We refer to your request received by the Department of Climate Change,
Energy, the Environment and Water on 6 May 2023 for access to documents
under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) made in the following
terms:

‘I am writing to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act for a
complete copy of the departments' Freedom of Information (FOI) logs for
the period 2013-2023, including any secondary departments controlled by
the agency.

I request that this is provided as a document and not a simple redirect to
the agency website as I am of the view that your online disclosure logs do
not actively reflect your FOI requests that you have received in this
period.

I would appreciate it if you could provide me with this information in an
electronic format, such as a PDF or spreadsheet, if possible.

If there are any fees associated with fulfilling this request, please let
me know in advance so that I can consider my options.’

Your address

The FOI Act requires that you provide us with an address which we can send
notices to. You have advised your electronic address is
[1][FOI #10241 email]. We will send all notices
and correspondence to this address.

Please advise us as soon as possible if you wish correspondence to be sent
to another address or if your address changes. If you do not advise us of
changes to your address, correspondence and notices will continue to be
sent to the address specified above.

Disclosure log

Please note that information released under FOI Act may be published in a
disclosure log on the department's website. Section 11C of the FOI Act
requires this publication, however it is subject to certain exceptions,
including where publication of personal, business, professional or
commercial information would be unreasonable.

Exclusion of junior department employee details

The department is working towards ensuring that all employees have a
choice about whether they provide their full name and direct contact
details in response to public enquiries. Where such details are included
in the scope of a request, this may add to processing time and applicable
charges as it may be necessary to consider whether the details are exempt
under the FOI Act. On this basis, unless you tell us otherwise, we will
assume that these details are out of scope of your request and they will
be deleted under section 22 of the FOI Act.

Further assistance

If you have any questions, please email [2][email address].

Kind regards
