23 Notice relating to research authorisations

(1) If the ACMA grants a research authorisation, the ACMA must, as soon as is reasonably practicable, give each authorised research entity, and Telstra, a copy of the authorisation. (2) If: (a) the ACMA grants a research authorisation; and (b) the authorisation specifies an additional condition to which the authorisation is subject; the ACMA must, as soon as is reasonably practicable, give written notice to each authorised research entity stating that the entity, and any other person affected by the decision, may request the ACMA to reconsider the decision under section 42. (3) As soon as reasonably practicable after the ACMA decides not to grant a research authorisation, the ACMA must give written notice to each research entity specified in the application for the authorisation stating: (a) that the authorisation has not been granted; and (b) the reasons for not granting the authorisation; and (c) that the entity, and any other person affected by the decision, may request the ACMA to reconsider the decision under section 42.

Note: A research entity may be treated as not being specified in an application if the entity does not provide the ACMA with further information within 90 days after the ACMA requests that information: see section 19.
