INTERNATIONAL AIR SERVICES COMMISSION REGULATIONS 1992 - REG 2 Interpretation (1) In these Regulations, unless the contrary intention appears: "the Act" means the International Air Services Commission Act 1992. INTERNATIONAL AIR SERVICES COMMISSION REGULATIONS 1992 - REG 2A Operational decisions -- prescribed circumstances (1) For the purposes of paragraph 9 (2) (c) of the Act, the circumstances prescribed are that the operational decision affects an existing operational decision by changing temporarily, or in a minor respect, the capacity to which the existing operational decision relates. (2) An operational decision described in subregulation (1) is a decision that allows: (a) if a bilateral arrangement allows for an amount of capacity to be exceeded in certain circumstances -- the use of extra capacity by Australian carriers as so allowed; or (b) the use of an aircraft type, a seating plan or freight carrying capacity different to that provided for in a determination; or (c) the use of extra capacity to meet seasonal or other temporary and unusual demand for an international air service; or (d) for a small number of flights which form part of an international air service -- the carriage of passengers or freight, or both, to and from places additional to the places normally served. INTERNATIONAL AIR SERVICES COMMISSION REGULATIONS 1992 - REG 2B Submissions about allocation of capacity (Act s 12) For paragraph 12 (1) (b) of the Act, the Commission must invite submissions about the allocation of capacity if: (a) more than 1 Australian carrier applies for the capacity; or (b) the Commission thinks that, if the allocation were made to a carrier: (i) a restriction could be imposed on the carrier under the Trade Practices Act 1974, preventing the carrier using the capacity; or (ii) the carrier may not be able to obtain an approval that is necessary to utilise the capacity. Note This regulation applies to a determination allocating capacity that is made on or after 19 June 2003, unless the application for the determination was invited before that day: see item 4 of Schedule 1 to the Aviation Legislation Amendment Act 2002. INTERNATIONAL AIR SERVICES COMMISSION REGULATIONS 1992 - REG 3 Commission's address For the purposes of sections 14 and 21 of the Act, the Commission's address is: (a) for applications sent by post -- GPO Box 630, Canberra, ACT 2601; and (b) for applications delivered by hand -- Level 1, 15 Mort Street, Braddon, ACT, 2601; and (c) for applications sent by e-mail -- IASC@dotars.gov.au; and (d) for applications sent by facsimile -- (02) 6267 1111. INTERNATIONAL AIR SERVICES COMMISSION REGULATIONS 1992 - REG 3A Delegation of powers and functions (Act s 27AB) (1) For subsection 27AB (3) of the Act, the Commission may delegate a power or function to: (a) make a determination allocating available capacity under section 7 of the Act, if no more than 1 application is made for the capacity; and (b) make a fresh determination allocating capacity under section 8 of the Act; and (c) if an Australian carrier applies, under section 21 of the Act, for a variation of a determination to allocate capacity: (i) conduct a review of a determination under subsection 10 (2) of the Act; and (ii) vary the determination as requested in the application. (2) However, subregulation (1) applies only if: (a) no submission is received objecting to the allocation; or (b) the Commission thinks that, if submissions were invited, no-one would object to the allocation.
