of a significant change must:
(a) be in writing; and
(b) set out the change; and
(c) be accompanied by a copy of the part of the ATS provider's FRMS documentation affected by the change, clearly identifying the change.
       (6) An ATS provider must not make a change to the FRMS that is not a significant change unless:
(a) the ATS provider's FRMS change management procedures provide for non‑significant changes; and
(b) the ATS provider makes the change in accordance with its procedures; and
(c) the ATS provider has given CASA written notice of the change and a copy of the amended part of the ATS provider's operational manual clearly identifying the change.
Note   Under regulation 172.300 of CASR, CASA may direct an ATS provider to amend its operations manual (which must include the details of the provider's FRMS: see paragraph 2.1.2.1(oa) of this Manual of Standards).
CASA may issue a direction to an ATS provider under regulation 11.245 of CASR if the matter affects the safe navigation and operation of aircraft. Under paragraph 11.245(2)(a), CASA must be satisfied that it would be necessary to do so in the interests of the safety of air navigation. This could include a direction to the ATS provider to amend, change or modify the FRMS.

4.13 Trial FRMS implementation approval
       (1) CASA may, on a written application made by an ATS provider, issue the ATS provider with a trial FRMS implementation approval for up to 24 months, if CASA is satisfied that each element of the ATS provider's FRMS:
(a) complies with and meets the requirements, attributes and characteristics of an FRMS under this Chapter; and
(b) is capable of delivering:
 (i) identified safety outcomes; and
 (ii) fatigue-risk data and reports; and
 (iii) continuous improvement in the delivery of safety outcomes.
       (2) CASA may extend the duration of an approval issued under subsection (1):
(a) on application by the ATS provider; or
(b) on CASA's own initiative, if CASA considers that aviation safety requires a longer trial FRMS implementation approval period before a full FRMS implementation approval.
       (3) For the purposes of subsection (2), CASA can extend the duration of a trial FRMS implementation approval by issuing a new trial FRMS implementation approval.

4.14 Full FRMS implementation approval
       (1) CASA may, on a written application made by an ATS provider, issue the ATS provider with a full FRMS implementation approval, if the ATS provider:
(a) has held a trial FRMS implementation approval for a period of at least 12 months; and
(b) satisfies CASA, through relevant data and reports, that the FRMS:
           (i) is demonstrably delivering the safety outcomes expected when the trial FRMS implementation approval was given; and
           (ii) is capable of
