Summary: The complainant has requested from the Department of Energy and Climate Change (-DECC-) all Information Asset Registers (-IARs-), or any information which resembles an IAR, held by the offshore oil and gas environment and decommissioning unit and the licensing, exploration and development unit together with any code sheets or data dictionaries that are used in conjunction with those files. The complainant had previously made a similar request in relation to DECC as a whole. DECC confirmed that it did not hold any further information in relation to the request. The complainant was not satisfied with the response and submitted a complaint to the Commissioner. Additional enquiries were undertaken by DECC but no further information was located. The Commissioner-s decision is that further information is not held. He therefore does not require the DECC to take any steps to comply with the legislation.
