CLAUSE 62

Second line - insert "Greenhouse and energy auditing is a relatively new,
but growing, industry, with limited certification options for auditors.
Industry stakeholders have indicated, however, that there will be increased
interest in the future for the provision of third party certification of
greenhouse and energy auditors similar to that already available for other
auditing professions. This subsection allows for the GEDO to delegate the
administration of registered greenhouse and energy auditors to a third
party certification body in the future if appropriate industry self-
regulation becomes available. If those circumstances do eventuate and a
wider delegation is required, specific guidance or criteria about to whom
the wider delegation could apply will be provided by the GEDO. The GEDO
does not currently intend to delegate the decision making functions to
anyone other than SES officers or acting SES officers."
