Dear FOI Officer,

Request under the Freedom of Information Act 1982
Privacy Impact Statement for the Standard Business Reporting Authentication Solution
------------------------------------------------------------------

The Australian Government Tender System (http://www.austender.gov.au) reports contract CN137512 between the Australian Taxation Office and PriceWaterhouseCoopers for the provision of "a Threat Risk Assessment (TRA) and Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) on the design of the Standard Business Reporting (SBR) Authentication Solution"

I request access to a copy of the report of the privacy impact assessment. If the TRA and PIA were provided in a combined report, I request access only to that part of the report relating to the PIA. I note that the contract report on AusTender states that no confidentiality issues attached either to the contract itself or to the contract outputs.

If you require any further information regarding the documents I seek, please let me know. The electronic address at righttoknow.org.au that is associated with this email is the relevant address for the purposes of section 15(2)(c) of the FOI Act.

Yours faithfully,

Mark R. Diamond

unless your request is for personal information, charges may apply
depending on the size and complexity of your case. We will notify you if
there are charges and what those charges will be. We will obtain your
