sch.3-sec.29 Access arrangement revisions submitted but not approved or rejected before repeal of old scheme
This clause applies if— proposed revisions to a current access arrangement have been submitted under section 2.28 of the Gas Code to a relevant Regulator before the commencement day for approval; and the relevant Regulator has not, before that day— approved those revisions in a final decision under section 2.38 , or a further final decision under section 2.41 , of the Gas Code; or drafted and approved its own revisions under section 2.42 of the Gas Code. On and after the commencement day, the relevant Regulator must, despite the repeal of the Gas Code, deal with the proposed revisions as if the Gas Code continued to apply. An access arrangement in respect of which revisions are approved, or drafted and approved, in accordance with subclause (2) is deemed to be, on the day the relevant decision takes effect— in the case of an access arrangement in respect of which revisions are approved in a final decision under section 2.38 , or a further final decision under section 2.41 , of the Gas Code—a full access arrangement as revised by the AER under a full access arrangement decision; in the case of an access arrangement in respect of which revisions are drafted and approved by the relevant Regulator under section 2.42 of the Gas Code—a full access arrangement (as revised) made by the AER under a full access arrangement decision. Despite anything to the contrary in this Law and the repeal of the old access law, section 39 of the old access law continues to apply to a full access arrangement decision referred to in this section as if a reference in that section to a decision of the relevant Regulator under the Gas Code were a reference to a full access arrangement decision of the AER. (sch.3-sec.29-ssec.1) This clause applies if— proposed revisions to a current access arrangement have been submitted under section 2.28 of the Gas Code to a relevant Regulator before the commencement day for approval; and the relevant Regulator has not, before that day— approved those revisions in a final decision under section 2.38 , or a further final decision under section 2.41 , of the Gas Code; or drafted and approved its own revisions under section 2.42 of the Gas Code. (sch.3-sec.29-ssec.2) On and after the commencement day, the relevant Regulator must, despite the repeal of the Gas Code, deal with the proposed revisions as if the Gas Code continued to apply. (sch.3-sec.29-ssec.3) An access arrangement in respect of which revisions are approved, or drafted and approved, in accordance with subclause (2) is deemed to be, on the day the relevant decision takes effect— in the case of an access arrangement in respect of which revisions are approved in a final decision under section 2.38 , or a further final decision under section 2.41 , of the Gas Code—a full access arrangement as revised by the AER under a full access arrangement decision; in the case of an access arrangement in respect of which revisions are drafted and approved by the relevant Regulator under section 2.42 of the Gas Code—a full access arrangement (as revised) made by the AER under a full access arrangement decision. (sch.3-sec.29-ssec.4) Despite anything to the contrary in this Law and the repeal of the old access law, section 39 of the old access law continues to apply to a full access arrangement decision referred to in this section as if a reference in that section to a decision of the relevant Regulator under the Gas Code were a reference to a full access arrangement decision of the AER.
