Administrative matters - Accreditation of requestors

115: Chief executive may modify terms or conditions on own motion

You could also call this:

"Chief Executive can change rules for data requestors on their own"

The chief executive can change the terms or conditions of an accredited requestor's accreditation on their own. They can do this to add or remove rules about how the accreditation works, or to add or remove different types of accreditation.

If the chief executive decides to make changes, they have to tell the accredited requestor about it.

When the chief executive adds new rules or types of accreditation, they need to follow the same process as when someone first gets accredited, unless the rules say something different.

The chief executive can remove rules or types of accreditation if the accredited requestor doesn't meet the requirements anymore, or if they've seriously broken the rules of their accreditation or other rules in this law.
