CIVIL AVIATION LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (MISCELLANEOUS) REGULATION 2013 (SLI NO 80 OF 2013)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

 

Select Legislative Instrument 2013 No. 80

 

Issued by the authority of the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport

 

Civil Aviation Act 1988

 

Civil Aviation Legislation Amendment (Miscellaneous) Regulation 2013

 

 

Subsection 98 (1) of the Civil Aviation Act 1988 (the Act) provides, in part, that the Governor-General may make regulations, not inconsistent with the Act, prescribing matters required or permitted by the Act to be prescribed, or necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to the Act. That subsection also provides that the Governor-General may make regulations for the purpose of carrying out and giving effect to the provisions of the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention) relating to safety and in relation to the safety of air navigation, being regulations with respect to any other matters for which the Parliament has power to make laws.

 

Subsection 9 (1) of the Act specifies, in part, that the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) has the function of conducting the safety regulation of civil air operations in Australian territory by means that include developing and promulgating appropriate, clear and concise aviation safety standards and issuing certificates, licences, registrations and permits.

 

The Amendment Regulation makes various amendments to Part 11 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 (CASR) -- Regulatory administrative procedures. In particular, the Regulation adds provisions to CASR Subpart 11.BA - Granting authorisations etc, to provide the conditions for CASA to grant an authorisation that is an experimental certificate, which enables the testing of new aircraft design concepts or new aircraft equipment; to outline the safety grounds that apply in order for CASA to impose or vary a condition on an authorisation; and consolidates the regulations relating to the transfer of an authorisation from one person to another, from the various locations in CASR into CASR Part 11.

 

The Amendment Regulation also amends CASR Subpart 202.AD -- Transitional provisions for Part 11 (Regulatory administrative procedures), to include offence provisions for instruments of exemption that were issued under now repealed regulations but continue in force under the Subpart 202.AD transitional provisions.

 

The Amendment Regulation also makes minor amendments to CASR Part 42 - Continuing airworthiness requirements for aircraft and aeronautical products, and CASR Subpart 202.BA -- Transitional provisions for Part 42, (Continuing airworthiness requirements for aircraft and aeronautical products), that have been found to be necessary since the CASR Part 42 regulations took effect on 27 June 2011. These include provisions for permissions under the Act for an organisation in a foreign country to carry out maintenance on an Australian aircraft or an aeronautical product for an Australian aircraft under an arrangement between CASA and the National Aviation Authority of the foreign country. This permission is necessary to support the operation of a bilateral or technical agreement between Australia and another country.

 

The Amendment Regulation also amends CASR Part 65 - Air traffic services licensing, to include the previous requirement for a person who carries out an air traffic control function or a flight service function in Australian territory, to hold a Class 3 Medical Certificate.

 

The Amendment Regulation also amends CASR Part 66 -- Continuing airworthiness -- aircraft engineer licences and ratings, and CASR Subpart 202.CG - Transitional provisions for Part 66 (Continuing airworthiness - aircraft engineer licences and ratings), to include provision for CASA to grant an aircraft engineer licence or rating to an applicant subject to the exclusion of an aircraft system or a subset of an aircraft system and to specify the limits of the work to which the licence relates.  

 

The Amendment Regulation also amends CASR Part 92 -- Consignment and carriage of dangerous goods by air, to omit various unnecessary references to exclusions and exemptions mentioned in regulations (as in force before 27 June 2011) that have since been repealed.

 

The Amendment Regulation also amends CASR Part 99 -- Drug and alcohol management plans and testing, to omit the requirements for the approved tester to give the donor and CASA notices in respect of an initial drug or alcohol test if the result is not positive.

 

The Amendment Regulation makes various minor editorial and machinery amendments to CASR and the CAR, including the provisions for reviewable decisions, to clarify that the matters for which an application may be made to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal are the decisions of CASA.

 

Finally, the Amendment Regulation also repeals the Civil Aviation (Savings) Regulations (Statutory Rules No 1995 No 149) as they are no longer required.


The legislative changes are considered to be minor and machinery in nature.
These amendments facilitate regulatory administrative procedures and ongoing transition arrangements for Part 11 of the CASR and the maintenance suite of Regulations (Parts 42, 66, 145 and 147).

 

A consultation draft for this Amendment Regulation was published on the CASA website and made available to the joint CASA/Industry Standards Consultative Committee (SCC), the SCC Certification Standards Sub-committee and the SCC Maintenance Standards Sub-committee on 11 December 2012, for public comment/review.

 

CASA received a total of five responses to the consultation draft with all comments evaluated and considered for incorporation, as appropriate, into the proposed Regulation. In general no comments were received to indicate that the amendments were not acceptable to industry.

 

Regulation Impact Statement

The Office of Best Practice Regulation (OBPR) assessed that the proposed amendments will have minor impacts and no further analysis in the form of a Regulation Impact Statement is required (OBPR ID: 14690, 14704 and 14706).

Attachment A

Statement of Compatibility with Human Rights

Prepared in accordance with Part 3 of the Human Rights (Parliamentary Scrutiny) Act 2011


Civil Aviation Legislation Amendment (Miscellaneous) Regulation 2013

This legislative instrument is compatible with the human rights and freedoms recognised or declared in the international instruments listed in section 3 of the
Human Rights (Parliamentary Scrutiny) Act 2011.

Overview of the Legislative Instrument

The Amendment Regulation amends the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 (CASR) and the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988 (CAR).  In addition to various minor and machinery amendments, the following substantive amendments are made.

CASR Part 11 - Regulatory Administrative Procedures is amended in relation to the granting of an authorisation that is an experimental certificate and the transfer of an authorisation from one person to another.

The Amendment Regulation makes various changes to the maintenance suite of regulations (Parts 42 and 66 of CASR) that have been found to be necessary since the regulations took effect on 27 June 2011, such as the provision for CASA to grant an aircraft engineer licence to an applicant subject to the exclusion of an aircraft system, in order to specify the limits of the work to which the licence relates.  Also included are new provisions for permissions under subsection 20AB (2) of the Civil Aviation Act 1988 for an organisation in a foreign country to carry out maintenance on an Australian aircraft or an aeronautical product for an Australian aircraft.

The Amendment Regulation also amends CASR Part 99 - Drug and Alcohol Management Plans and Testing in relation to notices in respect of an initial drug or alcohol tests where the result of the test is not positive.

The Amendment Regulation also amends CASR Subpart 202.AD -- Transitional provisions for Part 11 (Regulatory administrative procedures), to include offence provisions for instruments of exemption that were issued under now repealed regulations but continue in force under the Subpart 202.AD transitional provisions.

Human rights implications

Presumption of Innocence

There are offence provisions in this legislative instrument which are strict liability offences and engage the right to the presumption of innocence under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.  The offences relate to administrative and safety requirements that must be adhered to by regulated individuals, operators or organisations involved in the aviation industry to ensure the integrity of the aviation safety system.

The strict liability offences in the legislative instrument are considered justified, and therefore not inconsistent with the presumption of innocence, in that they are regulatory in nature, meaning there is an expectation on individuals who participate in the aviation sector to be deemed to have accepted certain conditions, particularly where the activities carry public safety risks.  The deterrence effect of the strict liability offences also contributes significantly to maintaining the integrity of the aviation safety system.  The strict liability offences are also proportionate in that they fall at the lower end of the scale, not exceeding 50 penalty units.

Right to work, Rights of equality and non-discrimination

A number of other rights under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights are also engaged, such as the right to work, equality and non-discrimination.  These rights are engaged by those provisions that stipulate the medical fitness requirements for persons carrying out air traffic control and flight service functions, and the drug and alcohol testing requirements of individuals who perform, or are available to perform safety-sensitive aviation activities within the aviation industry. These requirements are necessary in order to ensure individuals are medically fit and healthy and not under the influence of any testable drugs or alcohol when carrying out safety sensitive roles within Australia's aviation environment.

The differential treatment is considered necessary in order to ensure competent use of aircraft and systems within Australia's aviation environment and thereby protect the safety of passengers, aviation participants and the public, in relation to the conduct of aviation operations.

Conclusion

The legislative instrument is compatible with human rights and to the extent that it may also limit human rights, those limitations are reasonable and proportionate in order to ensure the safety of aviation operations and to promote the integrity of the aviation safety system.  
 

Anthony Albanese, Minister for Infrastructure and Transport.
