      (2) The Commission must:

      (a) give a copy of the notice to:

      (i) in the case of an access undertaking application — the provider of the service (unless the provider is the person); and

      (ii) in the case of an access code application — the industry body that gave the application to the Commission (unless the body is the person); and

      (b) publish, by electronic or other means, the notice.

      Consideration of submissions

      (3) Subject to subsection (6), in making its decision on the application, the Commission:

      (b) may disregard any submission made after the day specified in the notice.

      (a) not make the whole or a part of the submission available under subsection (4); and

      (b) not publish or make available the whole or a part of the submission under section 44ZZBE;

      because of the confidential commercial information contained in the submission.

      (6) If the Commission refuses such a request:

      (a) for a written submission — the Commission must, if the person who made it so requires, return the whole or the part of it to the person; and

      (b) for an oral submission — the person who made it may inform the Commission that the person withdraws the whole or the part of it; and

      (c) if the Commission returns the whole or the part of the submission, or the person withdraws the whole or the part of the submission, the Commission must not:

      (3) Before publishing under subsection (1), the Commission may give any one or more of the following persons:

      (a) for an access undertaking decision — the provider of the service;

      (b) for an access code decision — the industry body or its replacement;

      (c) in any case — any other person the Commission considers appropriate;

      a notice in writing:

      (d) specifying what the Commission is proposing to publish; and

      (e) inviting the person to make a written submission to the Commission within 14 days after the notice is given identifying any information the person considers should not be published because of its confidential commercial nature.

      Review

      (3) The review by the Tribunal is a reconsideration of the matter based on the information, reports and things referred to in section 44ZZOAA.
