 Dear Trav S



 Thank you for your below email, received by the Department of the Prime
 Minister and Cabinet (the Department) on 15 January 2021 in which you
 advised that:



 We seek a copy of the policy/guidelines that relate to informing the
 discretionary decision prescribed by HOSM Regulation (1999) Section 4,
 paragraph (3).



 If PM&C has more general policy/guidelines guiding discretionary decisions
 we would also ask for a copy of/or reference to those documents.



 We request your clarification on whether you are only seeking part 1,
 namely a copy of the policy/guidelines that relate to informing the
 discretionary decision prescribed by HOSM Regulation (1999) Section 4,
 paragraph (3).



 Otherwise, if you are also seeking part 2, namely more general
 policy/guidelines guiding discretionary decisions, your request remains
 unclear (we note that it is drafted in similar terms as per your original
 scope dated 18 December 2020, and which was the subject of our previous
 request for clarification).



 Processing of your request will commence once it meets the requirements of
 section 15 of the FOI Act.



 Should you require more information or wish to discuss, please contact us,
 quoting reference FOI/2020/286.



 Yours sincerely
