                Subject to sections 1.4(a) and 1.10, the NCC must recommend that the Pipeline be Covered (either to the extent described, or to a greater or lesser extent than that described, in the application) if the NCC is satisfied of all of the following matters, and cannot recommend that the Pipeline be Covered, to any extent, if the NCC is not satisfied of one or more of the following matters:

            (a)         that access (or increased access) to Services provided by means of the Pipeline would promote competition in at least one market (whether or not in Australia), other than the market for the Services provided by means of the Pipeline;

            (b)         that it would be uneconomic for anyone to develop another Pipeline to provide the Services provided by means of the Pipeline;

            (c)         that access (or increased access) to the Services provided by means of the Pipeline can be provided without undue risk to human health or safety; and

            (d)         that access (or increased access) to the Services provided by means of the Pipeline would not be contrary to the public interest.
