55I: Impact of certain decisions made under Gas Act 1992

You could also call this:

"How gas rule decisions affect what the Commerce Commission does"

Illustration for Commerce Act 1986

When the recommending body makes a decision about gas rules under the Gas Act 1992, you need to know they tell the Commerce Commission. The Commerce Commission has to think about these decisions when they make their own decisions. They also have to consider any guidelines the recommending body gives them, and a levy that pipeline owners pay under the Gas Act 1992. The Commerce Commission might have to rethink a decision if the recommending body asks them to, so they can take new information into account. The recommending body is a group that has a special meaning in the Gas Act 1992, which you can find in section 43D of that Act.
