Radiocommunications Act 1989

General provisions - Additional powers of Registrar

66: Registrar may require production of documents, etc

You could also call this:

"The Registrar can ask for documents and information when you apply to use radio frequencies."

Illustration for Radiocommunications Act 1989

The Registrar can ask you to show documents about radio frequencies if you make an application under this Act. You must give the Registrar any extra information they need about these documents. The Registrar can wait until you do this before dealing with your application. If you give the Registrar false or misleading information, you can get in trouble. You might have to pay a fine if you are found guilty of doing this. The fine can be up to $10,000 for an individual or $25,000 for a company. The Registrar has the power to make these requests and take action if you do not comply, as stated in the Criminal Procedure Act 2011. You must tell the truth when giving information to the Registrar. This is an important part of following the rules under the Radiocommunications Act 1989.
