Dear Paul 
 
Thank you for your email of 7 June 2019 requesting under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) 
the submissions received by the NZ Transport Agency as part of our consultation on entry certifier 
conflicts of interest. 
 
We have interpreted your request broadly to include written submissions, minutes of presentations, 
and any supplementary information provided to the Transport Agency. 
 
The documents and information that fall within the scope of your request are detailed in the attached 
document schedule. The documents that are released are enclosed. 
 
 
Certain information has been withheld under section 9 of the Act in order to: 
 
•  protect the privacy of natural persons; 
 
•  protect information where the making available of the information would be likely unreasonably 
to prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied or who is the subject of the 
information; and 
 
•  protect information which is subject to an obligation of confidence or which any person has 
been or could be compelled to provide under the authority of any enactment, where the 
making available of the information would be likely to prejudice the supply of similar 
information, or information from the same source, and it is in the public interest that such 
information should continue to be supplied. 
 
With respect to the information that has been withheld, I do not consider there are any other factors 
which would render it desirable, in the public interest, to make the information available.   
 
The release of this information is not an invitation nor an opportunity to make submissions to the 
Agency, relating to the entry certifiers’ conflict of interest policy public consultation, that are based on 
other parties’ submissions. In other terms, the Agency does not seek “submissions on submissions”.  
   
 
   


 
 
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to 
withhold some information and refuse some aspects of your request. The contact details for the 
Ombudsman can be located at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz. 
 
Yours sincerely
