xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx Dear Mr Sweeney
Freedom of information request – consultation with affected third parties
We refer to your request for access to documents relating to The Universal Super
Scheme under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (
FOI Act).
As your request covers documents which contain information concerning the
business, commercial or financial affairs of an organisation, ASIC wil need to consult
with the organisation concerned under section 27 of the FOI Act before deciding to
release those documents.
For this reason, the period for processing your request has been extended by 30 days
to al ow ASIC time to consult with that organisation pursuant to subsection 15(6) of
the FOI Act. The processing period for your request wil now end on
7 November 2018.
The consultation mechanism under section 27 applies when we believe the person or
organisation concerned may wish to contend that the requested documents are
exempt because their release would disclose trade secrets or commercial y valuable
information or may adversely affect their business or financial affairs. We wil consider
any comments we receive from the person or organisation but the final decision
about whether to grant you access to the documents you requested rests with ASIC.
If you have questions, please contact me on 03 9280 4614 or by email at
xxxxx.xxxxx@xxxx.xxx.xx. Yours sincerely
David Asadi
Authorised decision-maker under subsection 23(1) FOI Act
