 (b) the service gives a report under subsection 219N(1) in respect of the individual and the child in respect of the week;
the Secretary must calculate the rate at which, and the amount in which, the Secretary considers fee reduction is applicable in respect of the session or sessions of care provided in the week.

 (2) In calculating the rate and amount, the Secretary must take into account all of the following decisions:
 (a) determinations made under this Act and under the Family Assistance Act by the Secretary in respect of the claimant and the child;
 (b) certificates given by the service in respect of the claimant and the child that relate to a weekly limit of hours under subsection 54(10), 55(6) or 56(3) of the Family Assistance Act;
 (c) certificates given by the service setting a rate of fee reductions under subsection 76(1) of the Family Assistance Act in respect of the claimant and the child.

 (3) The Secretary must notify the approved child care service of the rate and amount calculated.

 (4) The notice must be given in the form, and in the manner or way, approved by the Secretary.

 (5) Without limiting subsection (4), the Secretary may approve notification of the rate and amount by making the information available to the approved child care service using an electronic interface. In that case, the approved child care service is taken to have been given the notice on the day on which the information is made available.
