In my previous email I should have said December not September in relation to FA 19/12/01186. Yours sincerely, Eleanor Davey -----Original Message----- UNCLASSIFIED Our References: FA 19/12/01186 : OBJ2019/63183 Good afternoon I refer to your request received on 22 December 2019 for access to documents under the FOI Act. The current due date for your request is 21 January 2020. Due to the number of requests currently being processed by our office, we will not be able to finalise your request by the original due date. In order for the Department to complete the process of retrieving all the documents that fall within the scope of your request the Department will require additional time to process your request. The Department seeks your agreement under section 15AA of the FOI Act to extend the timeframe for the processing of your request by 30 days. This would extend the due date for your request to Thursday 20 February 2020. It would assist the Department in managing its FOI caseload if you could provide a response to this request by close of business tomorrow (Tuesday 21 January 2020).
