14  Dealing with report
 (1) Regardless of whether the ATSB accepts a report, the ATSB must:
 (a) decide what information in the report is to be included in a database maintained for the REPCON scheme, and include that information in the database; and
 (b) decide whether to disclose any information from the report in accordance with the Act and this regulation, and act accordingly; and
 (c) if the ATSB does not believe that the report includes false or misleading information—as soon as practicable:
 (i) for the part of the report given by the person taken to have made the report—destroy the part, or return it to the person; and
 (ii) if a part of the report was given by another person—destroy the part, or return it to that other person.
Note 1: For rules relating to disclosure of information contained in reports—see Parts 5 and 6.
Note 2: For reports that may include false or misleading information—see section 15.

Including restricted information in database
 (2) For paragraph (1) (a), the ATSB may include restricted information that contains personal information in a database maintained for the REPCON scheme only if:
 (a) the removal of the restricted information from the report would adversely affect the quality of the information to be included in the database; or
 (b) the ATSB believes that it is necessary to keep in contact with the person who made the report, or a person or organisation mentioned in the report, and the restricted information is necessary for that purpose.
 (3) The ATSB must remove restricted information that contains personal information from the database if:
 (a) the restricted information was included in a database for the purpose mentioned in paragraph (2) (b); and
 (b) the ATSB is satisfied that it is no longer necessary to keep the restricted information for that purpose.
