136 ACMA to maintain Register of industry codes and industry standards
(1) The ACMA is to maintain a Register in which the ACMA includes: (a) all industry codes required to be registered under this Part, as those codes are in force from time to time; and (b) all industry standards; and (c) all requests made under section 118; and (d) all notices under section 119; and (e) all directions given under section 121. (1A) Paragraph (1)(a) does not require the ACMA to continue to include in the Register an industry code, or a provision of an industry code, removed from the Register under section 122A. (2) The Register may be maintained by electronic means. (3) A person may, on payment of the charge (if any) fixed by a determination under section 60 of the Australian Communications and Media Authority Act 2005: (a) inspect the Register; and (b) make a copy of, or take extracts from, the Register. (4) For the purposes of this section, if the Register is maintained by electronic means, a person is taken to have made a copy of, or taken an extract from, the Register if the ACMA gives the person a printout of, or of the relevant parts of, the Register. (5) If a person requests that a copy be provided in an electronic form, the ACMA may provide the relevant information: (a) on a data processing device; or (b) by way of electronic transmission.
