Remaking of sunsetting instruments without amendments – Australian Communications and Media Authority
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) remade and consolidated two sunsetting legislative instruments without significant amendment on 15 December 2014: the Radiocommunications (Radiocommunications Receivers) Determination 2000 (No.2) (the Receivers Determination) and the Radiocommunications (Transmitter and Receiver Licences) Determination (Transmitter and Receiver Determination). The instruments respectively specify radiocommunications receivers and the transmitter licences and receiver licences the ACMA may issue for the purposes of the Radiocommunications Act 1992. In line with the Australian Government best practice regulation requirements for sunsetting legislative instruments, the ACMA has assessed the operation of these instruments in consultation with affected stakeholders and has certified that these instruments are operating efficiently and effectively. Therefore the Office of Best Practice Regulation notes that a Regulation Impact Statement is not required for these regulations to be remade. As the instruments were remade without significant amendment there are no compliance cost changes.
