310M: Bank may impose conditions in declaration under section 310K
or “Bank can set rules for clearing houses when making declarations”
You could also call this:

“Bank must inform and consult clearing house before changing its declaration”

If the Reserve Bank wants to change or cancel a declaration it made under section 310K, it must follow some rules. First, the Reserve Bank must tell the recognised clearing house in writing at least 7 days before it plans to make any changes. This gives the clearing house time to prepare. Next, the Reserve Bank must give the clearing house a fair chance to share its thoughts on the matter. Finally, the Reserve Bank has to think carefully about what the clearing house has said before making any decisions. These steps make sure that the clearing house has a say in decisions that affect it.
