If under
section 37(2)(b), 38(3), or 48(3) a government organisation could apply to the
Commission in relation to a State archive but the organisation has been
abolished or has ceased to be a government organisation, then the application
may be made by —
(a) the
successor (if any) to the former organisation that took over the function of
the former organisation to which the archive most closely relates; or
(b) the
Minister administering the Royal Commissions Act 1968 if the former
organisation was a Royal Commission; or
(c) the
Director in any other case.
