Regulated goods or services - Electricity lines services - Imposition of regulation under this Part

54I: Commission must make section 52P determination specifying how subpart applies

You could also call this:

"The Commission decides how rules apply to electricity line companies."

Illustration for Commerce Act 1986

The Commission has to make some decisions, called section 52P determinations, about how certain rules apply to companies that supply electricity lines services. You can read more about what these decisions are in the section 52P part of the law. The Commission must make these decisions as soon as possible after certain dates or events happen.

The Commission makes these decisions at different times, depending on the situation. For companies that were already subject to certain rules on 1 April 2009, the Commission follows the process set out in section 54J. If a company becomes subject to these rules because of a new order made under section 54H, the Commission makes the decision as soon as possible after the order starts.

The Commission's decisions are important because they help clarify how the rules apply to each company that supplies electricity lines services. You can find more information about these rules and how they are applied by reading the relevant parts of the law, such as section 52P and section 54H.
