125 Review of performance standards following Ministerial direction

(1) This section applies to a direction under section 124 that requires the ACMA to make a standard under section 115. (2) If the Minister revokes a direction, the ACMA must revoke the section 115 standard that is in force because of the direction. (3) If the Minister varies a direction, the ACMA must either: (a) vary the section 115 standard that is in force because of the direction so that the standard complies with the varied direction; or (b) revoke the section 115 standard and determine a new section 115 standard that so complies. (4) If a section 115 standard is in force because of a direction: (a) the ACMA 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) the ACMA may, on its own initiative, revoke the standard and determine a new section 115 standard that so complies. (5) A revocation or variation of a section 115 standard must be in writing. (6) An instrument of revocation or variation of a section 115 standard is a legislative instrument.
