92  Inconsistency with conditions
 (1) The ACMA may withdraw a number (other than an international signalling point code or a mobile network code) if:
 (a) the number has been transferred, issued or used in a way that is inconsistent with conditions placed by the ACMA on the allocation of the number; and
 (b) the ACMA is satisfied that the benefits of withdrawing the number, or the problems to be avoided by withdrawing the number, are more significant for end‑users and carriage service providers than the technical and financial consequences of withdrawing the number.
 (2) If the ACMA decides to withdraw a number under subsection (1), the ACMA must give written notice of the decision to the carriage service provider that holds the number.
 (3) The notice must set out the reasons for the decision and specify the date on which the number is to be withdrawn.
 (4) The period between the date of the notice and the date on which the number is to be withdrawn must be at least the shorter of the following periods:
 (a) the period for which, at the date of the notice, the carriage service provider has held the number;
 (b) 1 year.
 (5) If the ACMA is not the designated authority, then the ACMA must notify the designated authority of a decision to withdraw a number as soon as reasonably practicable after the decision is made.
