94B: Withdrawal of request for TSO cost calculation determination

You could also call this:

"Withdrawing a request to calculate the cost of a special phone or internet service"

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

If you are a TSO provider and you ask the Commission to calculate the cost of a TSO under section 94, you can later change your mind and withdraw your request. You must tell the Commission in writing before they make a final decision about the cost under section 94J(1)(b). You will have to pay the Commission's costs, including any expert advice they got, for the work they did before you withdrew your request, and they will tell you how much to pay in writing.

If you withdraw your request, the Commission will direct you to pay their costs for the parts of the process they completed before you withdrew, which includes the steps in sections 94F to 94K. The Commission will enforce this direction according to section 94A(2) and (3). You will receive a written direction from the Commission about how much to pay.
