30H: Failure to submit standard terms proposal

You could also call this:

"What happens if you don't send in your standard terms proposal on time?"

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

If you are an access provider of a designated access service or specified service and you fail to submit a standard terms proposal after getting a notice under section 30F, the Commission can take action. The Commission may ask another access provider or an access seeker to submit a standard terms proposal that meets the requirements of section 30G by a certain date. The Commission can also prepare a draft standard terms determination under section 30K even if it has not received a proposal from you.

If the Commission gives you a written notice, it must include a copy of section 30G and any extra requirements specified under section 30F(2). You will need to follow these requirements when submitting your standard terms proposal. The Commission's notice will tell you what to do next.

The Commission has the power to make decisions about standard terms proposals if you do not comply with the requirements. You should be aware of the rules and follow them to avoid any issues with the Commission.
