8 September 2020 Reference: OIA-2020/21-0027 Dear Official Information Act request relating to departmental Official Information Act request data Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (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 note the time limit for responding to your request was extended under section 15A of the Act by 20 working days, as your request necessitated a search through a large quantity of information. Following this extension, I am now in a position to respond to your request. Please find attached a list of departmental OIA requests, received and completed by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC), which have been recorded in our workflow management tool since it was adopted (14 April 2016 to 14 July 2020). The list includes workflow titles, the date of receipt, and the completion date. To provide some context around the completion date, where the request required an extension, I have included the number of working days the request was extended for. I have also included requests that were transferred in full. I note that the titles in the table below provide a summary of the information requested by the requestor at the point of receipt. It does not reflect the existence of the requested information. Summary titles are typically developed by administrative staff and have been included verbatim in this response. Some information, including the names of the requestors, has been withheld under section 9(2)(a) of the Act in order to protect the privacy of natural persons. I have taken section 9(1) public interest considerations into account and I have released names where these considerations outweigh the reason to do so, for example, requests that reference politicians and public figures. Executive Wing, Parliament Buildings, Wellington, New Zealand 6011 4291479 64 4 817 9698 www.dpmc.govt.nz You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision under section 28(3) of the Act. This response will be published on DPMC’s website during our regular publication cycle. Typically, information is released monthly, or as otherwise determined. Your personal information including name and contact details will be removed for publication.
