   (b)  the period of acceptance of the electricity safety manager.

(3) Subject to the regulations and the conditions to which the acceptance is
subject, on the acceptance of an electricity safety manager, the manager has
and may exercise such of the relevant functions of Energy Safe Victoria as are
specified in the acceptance Order.

(4) If a relevant function under a provision of this Act or the regulations is
conferred on an accepted electricity safety manager by Order under this
section, a reference to Energy Safe Victoria in that provision is deemed to
include a reference to the accepted electricity safety manager.

(5) If a relevant function under section 56 is conferred on an accepted
electricity safety manager, a reference to Energy Safe Victoria in section 54
is deemed to include a reference to the accepted electricity safety manager.

Safe Victoria from exercising any relevant function under this Act or the
regulations.





(8) Despite anything to the contrary in this Act or the regulations, the fees
and charges payable to an accepted electricity safety manager in respect of
the exercise of a relevant function are the relevant fees and charges
determined by the accepted electricity safety manager in accordance with the
acceptance Order rather than the prescribed fees and charges.
