157RNotice of variation of national interest exemption

157R  Notice of variation of national interest exemption  (1) As soon as practicable after varying a national interest exemption under section 157P, the Minister must:  (a) give a copy of the variation to:  (i) the person to whom the exemption, as varied, applies; and  (ii) if a different person applied for the variation—that person; and  (b) publish a copy of the variation together with the Minister’s reasons for varying the exemption on the Department’s website.  (2) However, the Minister must not publish under paragraph (1)(b) so much of the variation or reasons as:  (ii) a conditionally exempt document under section 47G of that Act (business documents) to which access would, on balance, be contrary to the public interest for the purposes of subsection 11A(5) of that Act; or  (b) the Minister believes it is in Australia’s national interest not to provide. Note: Subsection 157C(2) applies in relation to determining Australia’s national interest.
