sch.3-sec.62 Rule change proposals
Subject to this clause, a rule change proposal under the superseded jurisdictional rules that was current at the relevant changeover date is to be dealt with as follows: if the proposal lies within the scope of the Rules—it is to be dealt with as a request for the making of a Rule; if the proposal lies within the scope of the Procedures—it is to be dealt with as a request for the making of a Procedure. The AEMC or AEMO (as the case requires) may dispense with a particular step in the process for making a Rule or a Procedure if it is of the opinion that the relevant step is unnecessary because no equivalent step existed under the superseded jurisdictional rules or the same or a similar step has already been taken under the superseded jurisdictional rules. On giving a dispensation under subclause (2), the AEMC or AEMO (as the case requires) must publish notice of its decision to do so on its website and in a newspaper circulating throughout Australia. sch 3 s 62 ins 2009 No. 30 (SA) s 49 (sch.3-sec.62-ssec.1) Subject to this clause, a rule change proposal under the superseded jurisdictional rules that was current at the relevant changeover date is to be dealt with as follows: if the proposal lies within the scope of the Rules—it is to be dealt with as a request for the making of a Rule; if the proposal lies within the scope of the Procedures—it is to be dealt with as a request for the making of a Procedure.
