245K Approval of fall-back reporting systems
          (1) The Secretary must, by legislative instrument, approve one or more
              systems as fall-back reporting systems. A system may be an
              electronic system or a system requiring reports to be provided in
              documentary form.
               Note:      An approval under this subsection can be varied or revoked under
                          subsection 33(3) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.

        (1A) The information about passengers or crew that is to be reported by
             a system must be about:
               (a) if the system is for reporting on passengers—passengers
                   individually; or
               (b) if the system is for reporting on crew—members of the crew
                   individually; or
               (c) if the system is for reporting on both passengers and crew—
                   passengers individually and members of the crew
                   individually.
          (2) The instrument of approval of a system must also specify the
              information (including personal identifiers) about passengers or
              crew that is to be reported by that system.
