Dear Mr Harris
 
On behalf of the Ministry for the Environment, I am acknowledging your
email of 30 April 2012 in which you have requested, under the Official
Information Act 1982,
 
“An unredacted copy of the RIS for "ETS Review 2011: Proposed amendments
to the Climate Change Response 2002 – Part 1.”
 
Please be aware that the information to which your request relates is more
closely connected with decisions taken or to matters under consideration
by a Minister or Cabinet and has therefore been transferred to Hon Tim
Groser whose office will be in touch in the near future with the outcome
of this request.
 
Regards

Subject: Official Information Act request - Regulatory Impact Statement on
Proposed amendments to the Climate Change Response Act 2002
 
     Dear Ministry for the Environment,
 
     On April 11 2012, the Ministry published a Regulatory Impact
     Statement for "ETS Review 2011: Proposed amendments to the Climate
     Change Response Act 2002 – Part 1". This was a proactive
     disclosure, and parts of the RIS were withheld. I would therefore
     like to request the following information under the Official
     Information Act 1982:
 
     * an _unredacted_ copy of the RIS for "ETS Review 2011: Proposed
     amendments to the Climate Change Response
     Act 2002 – Part 1".
 
     Obviously, s18(d) does not apply, as the publicly available copy is
     redacted.
 
     If the Ministry wishes to continue to withhold information from the
     RIS, then I ask that it complies with good OIA practice and
     identifies the specific withholding grounds for each redaction so
     that it may be challenged if necessary.
 
     I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about
     this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the
     fyi.org.nz website.
 
     Yours faithfully,
 
     Alex Harris
