steps
       (1) A relevant operator who has taken the benefit of any exemption under section 6 must:
(a) not later than the end of a date specified in writing by CASA — give CASA the proposed SMS exposition content, along with any supporting documents that are specified in writing by CASA; and
       Note 1   Through its website, and in communications to relevant operators, CASA will give at least 3 months' notice of any appropriate specified dates for submitting the proposed SMS exposition content.
       Note 2   Any date specified in writing under paragraph 8(1)(a) of CASA EX87/21 continues to be specified for the purposes of this instrument — see subsection 55(2).
(b) subject to subsection (3), not commence using its proposed SMS exposition content until the day it receives CASA's written advice that it may do so.
       Note 1   Receiving the written advice would permit a relevant operator to use the proposed SMS exposition content immediately. In any event, it must be used as soon as the exemption expires on the specified date mentioned in section 9.
       Note 2   Any advice given under paragraph 8(1)(b) of CASA EX87/21 continues in force as if given under this instrument — see subsection 55(1).
       (2) For subsection (1), documents submitted to CASA must be accompanied by the relevant approved Form (if any).
       (3) Paragraph (1)(b) does not apply to an operator's use of its proposed SMS exposition content for purposes other than compliance with civil aviation legislation.
Note   For example, paragraph (1)(b) does not prevent an operator using its proposed SMS exposition content for the purpose of meeting a customer's contractual requirement for the operator to have and use an SMS.
