Updating of documents referred to in subsection (1) and (2)
 (4) A document referred to in subsection (1) or (2) must include, or, when published, be accompanied by:
 (a) an outline of the process that is intended to be undertaken before the document is republished in a modified form; and
 (b) if the document is republished in a modified form:
 (i) the reasons why the document was republished in a modified form; and
 (ii) an outline of the process that was undertaken when modifying the document; and
 (iii) if advice was obtained from the Emissions Reduction Assurance Committee in relation to the modification—a copy of the advice.
Example: For modifications of documents:
               that are required in order to comply with Australia's international obligations, or that are necessary or incidental to such modifications; or
               that are of a minor nature (such as correcting minor errors);
 the outline for paragraph (4)(a) could indicate that public notice will be given before the document is republished.
 For other modifications, the outline could indicate that, before the changes come into force:
               public consultation will be undertaken in relation to the proposed modifications; and
               when deciding whether to modify the document, regard will be had to matters such as the following:
                – all submissions received as a result of the public consultation, together with any advice received from the Regulator;
                – the scientific and technical rationale underlying the proposed modifications;
                – the impacts on project proponents (such as changes to regulatory burden) resulting from the proposed modifications;
                – the impact (if any) of the proposed modifications on the calculation of the net abatement amount;
                – whether it would be appropriate for the proposed modifications to be peer reviewed.
