Dear Australian Prudential Regulation Authority,

The trustee of the Australia Post Superannuation Scheme {APSS} complies with its public disclosure obligations pursuant to Section 29QB of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 and related SIS Regulations.

The registration number for this fund is R1056549.

The document I seek is a copy of the letter advising the trustee that APRA had granted this registration number.

The search period is around 2006 following the enactment of the Superannuation Safety Amendment Act 2004 which provided a two-year implementation period.

Yours faithfully,

Phillip Sweeney

On the basis that the document I seek does not contain any protected information and that APRA has released a near-identical document in the past I and seeking an Internal Review of the response to this FIO request.
