Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Act 1979

The Director‑General must establish and maintain a register of requests for internal authorisations.

The register may be kept by electronic means.

The register must include, for each request for an internal authorisation:

the name of the person who made the request; and

the matter that is important in relation to security in respect of which the authorisation was requested; and

the day on which the authorisation was given or refused; and

the name of the authorising officer who gave or refused to give the authorisation; and

if the authorisation was given:

the day on which the authorisation ceased to be in force; and

whether action under the authorisation was discontinued in accordance with section 26P, and, if so, the day on which the action was discontinued; and

the location at which any record relating to the request (including the request) is kept by the Organisation.

For the purposes of paragraph (f), the location may be a physical location or an electronic location.

The register is not a legislative instrument.
