The purpose of these Regulations is to amend a number of regulations consequential on the establishment of the Australian Crime Commission (ACC) to replace the National Crime Authority (NCA), the Australian Bureau of Criminal Intelligence and the Office of Strategic Crime Assessment.

These Regulations also make a minor amendment to the citation of the Jury Exemption Regulations.

Regulations 3 - 14 amend, respectively the:

•        Australian Federal Police Regulations 1979

•        Australian Prudential Regulation Authority Regulations 1998

•        Crimes Regulations 1990

•        Customs (Narcotic Inquiries) Regulations 1980

•        Customs Administration Regulations 2000

•        Director of Public Prosecutions Regulations 1984

•        Electoral and Referendum Regulations 1940

•        Electronic Transactions Regulations 2000

•        Financial Management and Accountability Regulations 1997

•        Jury Exemption Regulations

•        Ombudsman Regulations 1977

•        Public Order (Protection of Persons and Property) Regulations 1999

The amendments to the regulations do not make any substantive changes to the effect of the primary provisions. The amendments will, however, enable each regulation to operate in the same way in respect of the ACC as it currently does to the NCA.

These Regulations also change the citation of the Jury Exemption Regulations so that they are the Jury Exemption Regulations 1987.

The Regulations commence on the commencement of Schedule 1 to the Australian Crime Commission Establishment Act 2002, which is expected to be 1 January 2003.
