By email:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx Dear Mr Fairless
Acknowledgement of your revision to your Freedom of Information Request
Thank you for your prompt reply to the request consultation letter dated 20 October 2016. I
have taken your revised request to be for:
'…technical documentation from your Telecommunciations team which details the
reason why no outbound caller ID is displayed.’
Your revision was received by the department on 20 October 2016 and as a result of the
operation of section 24AB(8) of the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act) the
30 day statutory period for processing your request has been extended by one day, and will
now fall on a Saturday. Accordingly, you should therefore expect a decision from us by
Monday, 7 November 2016. The processing period may be extended if we need to consult
third parties or for other reasons. We will advise you if this happens.
Charges
The department will advise you if a charge is payable to process your request and the
amount of any such charge as soon as practicable. No charge is payable for providing a
person with their own personal information.
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
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx. 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, personal logon identifiers 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 redacted under
section 22 of the FOI Act.
Further assistance
If you have any questions please ema

Yours sincerely
