                                   SENATE


                    AVIATION TRANSPORT SECURITY AMENDMENT
                       (2009 MEASURES NO.1) BILL 2009


                               ADDENDUM TO THE
                           EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM



Replace Clause 2: Commencement with the following:

Clause 2: Commencement

The Bill contains one schedule of amendments to the Act.  This clause would
specify when the various provisions of the Bill are proposed to commence.
The time of the commencements of the particular provisions would be set out
in a table in subclause 2(1).

Item 1 of the table would provide that the preliminary provisions of the
Bill (short title, commencement and effect of Schedules) would commence on
Royal Assent.

Item 2 of the table would provide that Part 1 of Schedule 1 (which would
contain the amendment to the ATSA regarding the categorisation of SCAs)
would commence on the date of Proclamation but no later than 12 months
after the Act received Royal Assent.

The reason for the delayed commencement of Part 1 of Schedule 1 of the Bill
is to enable industry to be consulted upon the details of different
legislative requirements which may be implemented for each category of
airport, and to ensure that any action taken will be consistent with the
outcomes of the Aviation White Paper which is expected to be released later
in 2009.

Item 3 of the table would provide that Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Schedule 1 would
commence the day after the Act receives Royal Assent.

                 Regional Development and Local Government,
