Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations(1) This section applies if the ATSB proposes , in the interest s of transport safety, to give information from a report to a transport safety authority or an emergency services organisation .
(2) Before giving the information to the transport safety authority or an emergency services organisation , the ATSB must:
(a) give a copy of the report that satisfies the requirements of section 1 6 to any person or organisation mentioned in the report; and
(b) invite the person or organisation to comment on the report within 5 business days after receiving the report .
Note: business day is defined in the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 .
(3) However, the ATSB is not required to give a copy of the report to a person or organisation if the ATSB reasonably believes that:

(i) reduce reporting under the REPCON scheme ; or
(ii) reduce the ability of the ATSB to achieve a purpose of the REPCON scheme; or
(b) it is not practicable to comply with subsection ( 2).
Example for paragraph ( b)
Waiting 5 business days for a response from the person or organisation would mean an urgent safety issue , or an emergency, could not be addressed .
