##### 224 Reconsideration of refusals of applications for registration (1) Where AUSTEL refuses an application for the registration of an eligible service, the applicant may, within: (a) 21 days after being informed of the refusal; or (b) if, as a result of a request made by the applicant within 21 days after being informed of the refusal, AUSTEL extends the period within which an application for reconsideration of the refusal may be made—the extended period granted by AUSTEL for making the application; make a written request to AUSTEL for reconsideration of the refusal. (2) On receiving such a request, AUSTEL must reconsider the application. (3) If, on reconsidering the application, AUSTEL is satisfied as described in subsection 222(3), it must register the eligible service under the class licence concerned and give to the applicant written notice of the registration. (4) Otherwise, AUSTEL must reject the application and give to the applicant written notice of the rejection, together with its reasons for rejecting the application.
