P programs

38 Classification by an eligible classifier

      (1) If a person submits a program to an eligible classifier requesting that it be classified as a C program or P program, and does so in a format, and accompanied by any supporting material, specified by the eligible classifier, the eligible classifier may classify the program.

      (2) A classification of 'C' must be granted if the eligible classifier is satisfied that the program meets the criteria in the definition of C program in section 8.

      (3) A classification of 'P' must be granted if the eligible classifier is satisfied that the program meets the criteria in the definition of P program in section 8.

39 Provisional classification

      (1) If a person submits a written request to an eligible classifier for provisional classification of a proposed C program or P program, accompanied by a pilot episode, script, or other supporting material, in a format, or of a kind, specified by the eligible classifier, the eligible classifier may classify the proposed program or the pilot episode or both as 'provisional C' or 'provisional P'.

      (2) A provisional classification must be granted if the eligible classifier is satisfied that the program is likely to be a C program or P program.

      (3) On application in writing, the eligible classifier may, at any time, renew a provisional C classification or a provisional P classification.

      (4) If an eligible classifier has classified a pilot episode of a proposed program as provisional C or provisional P, the pilot episode will be deemed to be a C program or P program as the case may be, until the classification expires.

40 Duration of classifications

      (1) The classification of a program under these standards expires 5 years after the date on which it was given or last renewed, unless an eligible classifier otherwise determines at the time of classification or renewal.

      (2) On application in writing, an eligible classifier may at any time renew the classification of a C program or P program.

      (3) An eligible classifier may revoke a classification if the eligible classifier considers that a C program or P program is not consistent with the representative sample on the basis of which its classification was granted or renewed.

41 Transitional provision for classification

      If an application has been made under section 38, section 39 or subsection 40(2) to the ACMA as an eligible classifier prior to the date of classification amendment, the ACMA may decide that application after the date of classification amendment, and, if made, that decision will be valid for all purposes under these standards.
