FOI Delegations - 2016

Ben Fairless made this Freedom of Information request to Australian Institute of Marine Science as part of a batch sent to 125 authorities

This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

Australian Institute of Marine Science did not have the information requested.

Dear Australian Institute of Marine Science,

Can I please have a copy of the current FOI Delegations, and any related directions issued in respect of FOI.

I believe this information could be considered "operational information" so I therefore request release under the IPS, or under Administrative Access.

Yours faithfully,

Ben Fairless

Sharon Lawlor, Australian Institute of Marine Science

Dear Sharon,

Thank you for your email. I understand that the Law allows the Institute to delegate powers, however what I am seeking is a written copy of those Authoriations/Delegations made under section 23 of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth).

Yours sincerely,

Ben Fairless
