What this does

This short legal instrument appoints a specific government official to act as an "approving body" under telecommunications law.

Who it affects

The Executive Manager, Telecommunications Standards Group at the Australian Communications Authority — giving this position holder the formal legal power to approve certain technical matters under the Act.
Telecommunications companies and equipment manufacturers who require approvals to comply with technical standards or connect equipment to networks.

Why it matters

The Telecommunications Act 1997 requires certain approvals (such as technical standards or equipment certification) to be granted by an "approving body." This determination names the specific public servant who can legally make those decisions. Without this instrument, those approvals could not occur because there would be no authorised decision-maker.
