Dear Ms Taylor,
Your Freedom of Information Request to the Australian Federal Police
I refer to your application dated 12 June 2014 in which you seek access to
documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the Act).
I confirm your Freedom of Information request was received by the AFP on
12 June 2014. The AFP is experiencing an increase in the volume of freedom
of information applications. This high demand for access to documents
coupled with staff movements has impacted on case officer workloads and
accordingly, the AFP anticipates it will be unable to process your
application within the initial 30 day statutory time limit.
Based on our experience in processing freedom of information applications,
the AFP envisages that we will be unable to advise you of a decision by 13
July 2014. This anticipated delay is regrettable and I apologise for any
inconvenience it may cause however, please be assured the AFP will
continue to process your application as quickly as possible to minimise
any delay to you.
Accordingly, pursuant to section 15AA of the Act, I am seeking your
agreement to extend the period by 30 days to notify you of a decision by
12 August 2014. It would be appreciated if you would advise this office in
writing of your agreement to the proposed extension of time so we may
inform the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
You will be notified of any charges in accordance with the Freedom of
Information (Fees and Charges) Regulations, should they apply, in relation
to your request as soon as practicable.
If you have any queries in relation to this matter, please do not hesitate
to contact this office.
Yours sincerely,

Not sure if its worth pointing out, but you don't have to accept a request to extend the time under the law.
