Dear Scott

 

Extension of request for official information

 

Thank you for your email to the New Zealand Customs Service (Customs)
dated 20 July 2022, requesting the following information under the
Official Information Act 1982:

·         I would like to make a request for copies of all Privacy Impact
Assessments produced for Joint Border Analytics team initiatives since the
beginning of 2020.

 

Customs is unable to process your request within the original time frame
because the consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are
such that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made
within the original time limit. Customs is therefore extending the time
frame for a response by an additional 30 working days (counted from 17
August 2022 which was the statutory date it was initially due) pursuant to
section 15A(1)(b) of the Act.

 

The new due date for your request is 28 September 2022. Customs will
provide a response to you as soon as reasonably practicable and as soon as
it becomes available.

You have the right, by way of complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman
under section 28(3) of the Act, to seek an investigation and review of the
decisions conveyed in this letter. 

 

 

Yours sincerely

 

Correspondence, Reviews and Ministerial Servicing

New Zealand Customs Service
