The ACCC Chairman makes this determination each year to recover the actual costs of monitoring competition and compliance in the telecom sector."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2014l00216","history":"/api/acts/f2014l00216/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2014l00216/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2014l00216/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2014l00216/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2014l00216/documents"}}
