Extension of time under s 15AB
Dear Sun Shine
On 21 December 2018, the
Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency
(ARPANSA) applied for further time to make a decision on your FOI request of 25 October
2018.
This application was on the basis that the processing period is insufficient to deal adequately
with your request, because it is complex and voluminous.
ARPANSA has advised that the statutory timeframe had already been extended to allow for
consultation in accordance with s 15 of the FOI Act.
Decision
As a delegate of the Information Commissioner, I am authorised to make decisions on
applications for extensions of time under s 15AB of the FOI Act. I have decided to grant
ARPANSA an extension of time under s 15AB(2) of the FOI Act
to 7 February 2019.
By granting an extension of time it is anticipated that the ARPANSA will provide a well-
reasoned and better managed decision.
