Remaking of sunsetting instrument without significant amendments

Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development

The Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development remade the Air Navigation Regulation 1947 without significant amendments on 24 March 2016. The Air Navigation Regulation 1947 provides a framework for ensuring compliance with bilateral air services arrangements that are made consistent with the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation 1944. Consistent with the Australian Government best practice regulation requirements for sunsetting legislative instruments, the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development has assessed the operation of this instrument in consultation with affected stakeholders and has certified that the instrument is operating effectively and efficiently. Therefore, the Office of Best Practice Regulation notes that a Regulation Impact Statement is not required for this instrument to be remade. The instrument was remade with minor amendments to streamline the operation of it. Average annual saving of $59,690 over the next 10 years has been estimated by the Department, consistent with the Government’s RIS requirements.
