The AEMC may make a Rule at the request of any person or the MCE. Section 74 and Schedule 1 to this Law specify the subject matter for Rules. The AEMC must not make a Rule without a request under subsection (1) unless— it considers the Rule corrects a minor error in the Rules; or it considers the Rule involves a non-material change to the Rules; or the Rule is in respect of any matter that is prescribed by the Regulations as a matter on which it may make a Rule on its own initiative. Despite subsection (1) , a request for the making of a Rule regulating the declared system functions (other than the functions specified in section 91BA (1) (f) and (g) ) may only be made by— AEMO; or a service provider for a declared transmission system that is a party to a service envelope agreement with AEMO; or the Minister of an adoptive jurisdiction.
