##### 87Q Review of performance standards following Ministerial direction
(1) This section applies to a direction under section 87P that requires AUSTEL to make a standard under section 87E.
(2) If the Minister revokes a direction, AUSTEL must revoke the section 87E standard that is in force because of the direction.
(3) If the Minister varies a direction, AUSTEL must either:
(a) vary the section 87E standard that is in force because of the direction so that the standard complies with the varied direction; or
(b) revoke the section 87E standard and determine a new section 87E standard that so complies.
(4) If a section 87E standard is in force because of a direction:
(a) AUSTEL may vary the standard on its own initiative, but only in such a way that the varied standard still complies with the direction; and
(b) AUSTEL may, on its own initiative, revoke the standard and determine a new section 87E standard that so complies.
