18 Renewal of interim determinations

(1) The Commission must start its consideration of the renewal of an interim determination as soon as practicable after the determination is made. (2) Sections 12 and 14 apply in relation to the renewal of an interim determination in the same way they apply in relation to the making of a determination under section 7 allocating available capacity. (3) If no applications are made under subsection 12(3) (as it applies by virtue of subsection (2) of this section) in relation to the interim determination, the Commission must issue a notice stating that: (a) no such applications were made; and (b) the determination is no longer to be treated as an interim determination.

Note: Section 52 is about publication of notices.

(4) If such a notice is issued, this Act (including paragraph 15(3)(b) or 19(2)(b), as the case requires) has effect in relation to the determination as if it is no longer an interim determination.
