sch.3-sec.30 Certain provisions of the Gas Code to continue to apply to current and proposed access arrangements
Despite the repeal of the Gas Code and subject to this clause and any current access arrangement modification Rules, sections 3 , 8 and 10.8 of the Gas Code continue to apply to a transitioned access arrangement until revisions to that access arrangement first approved or made in accordance with this Law and the Rules after the commencement day take effect. To avoid doubt, after the commencement day, a covered pipeline service provider must, despite anything to the contrary in a transitioned access arrangement, submit an access arrangement revision proposal in relation to that access arrangement in accordance with section 132 and the Rules. Sections 3 , 8 and 10.8 of the Gas Code, as applied under this clause, do not have effect to the extent that they provide for or deal with the procedure for the approval of revisions to access arrangements. For the purposes of this clause— the AER is deemed to have the functions and powers a relevant Regulator has under sections 3 , 8 and 10.8 of the Gas Code as applied under this clause; and every reference to a relevant Regulator in those sections as applied under this clause is deemed to be a reference to the AER. In this clause— access arrangement revision proposal has the same meaning as in the Rules; current access arrangement modification Rules means Rules made for or with respect to item 81 of Schedule 1 to this Law that are in force. (sch.3-sec.30-ssec.1) Despite the repeal of the Gas Code and subject to this clause and any current access arrangement modification Rules, sections 3 , 8 and 10.8 of the Gas Code continue to apply to a transitioned access arrangement until revisions to that access arrangement first approved or made in accordance with this Law and the Rules after the commencement day take effect.

(sch.3-sec.30-ssec.3) Sections 3 , 8 and 10.8 of the Gas Code, as applied under this clause, do not have effect to the extent that they provide for or deal with the procedure for the approval of revisions to access arrangements.
