NOPSEMA issued a notice of decision to impose a charge of $1,064.53 on an FOI applicant for processing costs associated with their request. A 25% deposit of $266.13 is required before processing resumes. The applicant has 30 days to either pay the full charge or deposit, provide written contentions that the charge was wrongly assessed or should be reduced/not imposed, or withdraw the request. NOPSEMA will consider financial hardship claims and whether disclosure serves the public interest when evaluating contentions. The processing time limit is suspended until payment or a decision on contested charges is made. The request scope and specific documents sought are not detailed in this decision notice.
