84: Commission to prepare draft liability allocation determination

You could also call this:

"The Commission must prepare a plan to share costs and ask the public for feedback."

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

The Commission has to prepare a draft plan for each financial year. You will see this plan is about how costs are shared. The Commission must tell the public about this draft plan and say when people can give their thoughts on it.

The Commission has to give people at least 20 working days to comment on the plan after they tell the public about it. The Commission tries to do all these things within 80 working days after the end of the financial year.
