Schedule 17: Review of processing of personal data for the purposes of journalism
This Schedule provides the Information Commissioner with additional powers during any review period when conducting a review as required under section 178.
	Paragraph 2 provides the Commissioner with the ability to apply a modified form of the urgent procedure to information notices that she gives for the purpose of the review. The effect of this is that the minimum time period that the Commissioner must give is reduced to 24 hours (but see paragraph 4). Nothing in paragraph 2 affects the application of section 143 (information notices: restrictions).
	Section 147(5) prevents the Commissioner from giving an assessment notice with respect to the processing of personal data for the special purposes. Paragraph 3 of this Schedule disapplies section 147(5), providing the Commissioner with the ability to give assessment notices for the purpose of the review, but only where a determination under section 174 has taken effect. This requirement is comparable to the restriction on the giving of information notices set out in section 143(1).
	Paragraph 4 makes clear that section 164 (applications in respect of urgent notices) applies in respect of information and assessment notices given under paragraphs 2 and 3.
