Where an agency ceases to exist, and no other agency takes over its functions, the responsibilities of the defunct agency under this Act will devolve—
if the Minister administering this Act nominates an agency—on the agency so nominated as if the former agency had merged with, and continued as part of, the nominated agency; or
in the absence of such a nomination—on State Records.
