### sec.168 Notices about keeping monitoring records
The commissioner may, by written notice given to a licensed supplier—
approve, as a place at which the supplier may keep the supplier’s monitoring records, a place, other than the supplier’s main office, nominated by the supplier; or
specify a monitoring record of the supplier (an exempt record ) that may be kept at a place that is not an approved place for the keeping of the record; or
specify a monitoring record of the supplier that may be kept temporarily at a place (a holding place ) that is not an approved place for the keeping of the record, and the period for which, or the circumstances in which, the record may be kept at the holding place; or
approve the keeping of information contained in a monitoring record of the supplier in a way different from the way the information was originally kept; or
approve the destruction of a monitoring record the commissioner considers need not be kept.
The commissioner may specify a monitoring record for subsection (1) (b) only if the commissioner considers there is sufficient reason for the record to be kept at a place that is not an approved place for the keeping of the record.
A monitoring record mentioned in subsection (1) (c) is also an exempt monitoring record —
for the period stated in the notice; or
while the circumstances stated in the notice exist.
The exercise of the commissioner’s power under subsection (1) (d) or (e) is subject to any other law about the retention or destruction of the monitoring record.
