section 4 of this Act does not apply to the certificate or licence until the suspension ceases to have effect (otherwise than because of the expiry or cancellation of the certificate or licence).

6 Authorities under transmitter licences

An authority given by a person, under section 26 of the old Act, that was in force immediately before the commencement of this Act continues in force immediately after that commencement as if it had been an authorisation given by that person under section 114 of the new Act.

7 Frequency reservation certificates

(1): Subject to subsection (4), despite the repeal of the old Act by section 13 of this Act, a frequency reservation certificate granted under section 21 of the old Act that was in force immediately before the commencement of this Act remains in force after that commencement for the period for which it would have remained in force if the old Act were not repealed.
(2): If an unallocated frequency is reserved in the name of a person in accordance with a frequency reservation certificate in force under subsection (1), the SMA must not issue to a person other than that person a permit or transmitter licence authorising the operation of a transmitter in a manner inconsistent with that reservation.
(3): For the purposes of subsection (2), issuing a permit or transmitter licence that authorises the operation of a transmitter for a period not exceeding 14 days is taken to be not inconsistent with a reservation.

immediately before the commencement of this Act, to cancel frequency reservation certificates.

(1) If:

(a): anything, before the commencement of this Act, was done under section 20 of the old Act prior to preparation of a spectrum plan or frequency band plan under the old Act; and

commencement; the thing done is taken, for all purposes, to have been done under the corresponding provision of section 33 of the new Act.

(a): anything, before the commencement of this Act, was done under subsection 9(2) or (3) of the old Act prior to the making of a standard under the old Act; and
(b): the standard was not made under the old Act before the

commencement; the thing done is taken, for all purposes, to have been done under the corresponding provision of section 163 of the new Act.

9 Evidentiary certificates

If a Commonwealth officer issues a certificate under subsection 305(1) of the new Act relating to an examination carried out, whether before or after the commencement of this Act, for the purposes of the old Act, section 305 of the new Act applies in relation to the certificate as if:

(a): references in that section to the new Act included references to the old Act; and
(b): the reference in subsection (5) of that section to section 174 of the new Act included a reference to subparagraph 11(2)(b)(i) of the old Act.

(b): immediately before that commencement were not subject to directions by the Minister under subsection 80(2) of the old Act.

11 Regulations under the Radiocommunications Act

(1): Subject to subsection (3), any regulations made under the old Act and in force immediately before the commencement of this Act continue in force as if made under the new Act.
(2): A reference in a regulation so continued in force to a provision of the old Act is taken to be a reference to the corresponding provision in the new Act.
(3): This section does not apply to a regulation the making of which would not be authorised by the new Act.

12 Determinations of types of apparatus licences

(1): Until the SMA makes a determination under section 98 of the new Act, the types of transmitter licences that the SMA may issue under Part 3.3 of the new Act are taken to be the types of licences set out in Schedule 1 to the Radiocommunications (Licensing and General) Regulations made under the old Act.
(2): Until the SMA makes a determination under section 98 of the new Act, the types of receiver licences that the SMA may issue under Part 3.3 of the new Act are taken to be the types of licences set out in regulation 7 of the Radiocommunications (Licensing and General) Regulations made under the old Act.
