(b) include in the notice a statement that written submissions or comments on the proposed guidelines may be made to the Authority within a specified period; and
(c) give a copy of the proposed guidelines to each person who requests it during that period.
(2) After considering the submissions and comments (if any) received by the Authority within the specified period, the Authority may make the guidelines (with or without modifications) by causing notice of them to be published in the Government Gazette.
