These regulations define the dollar threshold for those restrictions—meaning the Archive cannot exceed $1 million in the specified transactions without appropriate approvals.\n\n**Who it affects:** The National Film and Sound Archive, which preserves Australia's film, television, and sound recordings.\n\n**Why it matters:** This limit protects the national collection and public funds by preventing the Archive from engaging in large-scale financial activities without oversight, while allowing flexibility for smaller, routine transactions."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/national-film-and-sound-archive-regulations-2008","history":"/api/acts/national-film-and-sound-archive-regulations-2008/history","analysis":"/api/acts/national-film-and-sound-archive-regulations-2008/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/national-film-and-sound-archive-regulations-2008/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/national-film-and-sound-archive-regulations-2008/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/national-film-and-sound-archive-regulations-2008/documents"}}
