Dear Shane Gibson
Official Information Act request relating to data from DPMC’s OIA Tracking System
Thank you for your Official Information Act (the Act) request received on 14 July 2020. You requested:
“Please provide an extract of data from the system you currently use to track information
requests submitted under the Official Information Act 1982.
The extract should be in a machine readable form. This means either via a publicly accessible
API or file in csv or JSON format.
The extract should have the following details in a single row for each request that was
submitted:
- The title of the request.
- The date your organisation received the request
- The date of the final response from your organisation to that request, or the date you closed
the request
To reduce the effort required by your organisation I am requesting records for the date range
that the data is available in your OIA tracking system. For example if your OIA tracking
system only holds two years of records then I am requesting data for those two years.”
I have decided under section 15A of the Act to extend the time limit for deciding on your request by
an additional 20 working days.
The extension is required because your request necessitates a search through a large quantity of
information before a decision can be made on your request. Despite the extension, a response will
be sent to you as soon as possible.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision under section 28(3)
of the Act.
Yours sincerely
Sarah Corbett
