138 Application for approval to transmit on test basis

(1) A national broadcaster may apply to the ACMA, at any time, for approval to transmit on a test basis.

Note There is no assumption that test transmissions will only be needed, or approved, before the start of the simulcast period for a remote coverage area. Testing may be needed at any time before or during the period.

(2) The national broadcaster must apply using the approved application form.

Note Section 25C of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 explains a general presumption that it is permissible for a person to use a prescribed form, or to comply substantially with the prescribed form.
