Dear Mr Fairless
Freedom of Information Request no. FOI14/052
I refer to your request for access to documents relating to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) under the Freedom of Information Act 1982. I have taken your request to be for:
access to documents which contain discussions around compliance (or non-compliance) with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS).
If you disagree with our interpretation of your request, please let me know as soon as possible.
We received your request on 10 April 2014 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 12 May 2014. The period of 30 days may be extended if we need to consult third parties or for other reasons. We will advise you if this happens.
It is the usual practice of the Department to not release the names and contact details of junior officers of the Department and other government agencies, where that personal information is contained in documents within scope of a request. The names and contact details of senior officers will generally be released. We will take it that you agree to the removal of junior officers’ personal information unless you advise that you would like us to consider releasing that information as part of the documents you have requested.
Please note that information released under the FOI Act may later be published online on our disclosure log http://www.ag.gov.au/RightsAndProtection...,

Dear Attorney-General's Department,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Attorney-General's Department's handling of my FOI request 'PCI Compliance'.
The decision maker appears to have erred in their interpretation of my request. I am seeking documents related to the *departments* compliance with the PCI-DSS standards, not with departmental enforcement of those standards.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/p...
Yours faithfully,
Ben Fairless
