A 30-day statutory period for processing your request commenced from 22

to edited copies of documents with irrelevant material deleted. Can you
please contact us at [4][NDIA request email] to advise whether the surnames and
contact details of NDIA staff are irrelevant to your request? Unless you
advise otherwise, we will take it that you agree to the names and contact
details of NDIA staff being excluded from the scope of your request (that
is, the information will be treated as irrelevant).
