(1) This regulation applies in relation to a time - limited authorisation (the old authorisation ) if:
(a) at least:
(i) in the case of an authorisation held by a corporation, 90 days; or
(ii) in any other case, 21 days;
before the time when the old authorisation would otherwise cease, its holder applies to CASA for the issue of a new time - limited authorisation that confers the same privileges, or authorises the holder to carry out the same functions or duties, as the old authorisation; and
(b) at the time when the old authorisation would otherwise cease, CASA has not made a decision on the application.
(2) For subregulation (1), an applicant has applied for the new authorisation only if:
(a) the applicant has given to CASA the necessary application, in the form required by these Regulations; and
(b) the application is taken to be complete, in accordance with regulation 11.030; and
(c) the applicant has given to CASA any other documents required by these Regulations to be given to CASA with the application.
Note: The applicant does not need to give to CASA information or a document that CASA already has--see regulation 11.145.
(3) In spite of any other provision of these Regulations, but subject to subregulation (4), the old authorisation continues in force until:
(a) CASA makes a decision on the application; and
(b) if the decision is to grant the new authorisation--the new authorisation comes into force.
(4) If CASA asks for further information or a document or invites the applicant to make a submission, under a provision of Subpart 11.B as applied by regulation 11.145, and the applicant does not do so within the period specified by CASA under that provision, then, despite subregulation (3), the old authorisation is taken to cease at the end of that period.
