12J  Public consultation required on draft policy statement and draft standard marketing plan

 (1) Before giving the ACA a draft policy statement or draft standard marketing plan, a primary universal service provider must:
 (a) publish a preliminary version of the draft and invite members of the public to make submissions to the provider about the preliminary version within a specified period (which must be at least 30 days); and
 (b) give consideration to any submissions received from members of the public within that period.

 (2) When giving the draft to the ACA, the provider must include advice on the submissions considered and any changes made to the draft as a result.

 (3) However, this section does not apply to a fresh draft policy statement, or fresh draft standard marketing plan, given to the ACA by a primary universal service provider in accordance with a direction under paragraph 12M(2)(b) unless the ACA notifies the provider in writing that it does apply to the document.
