(4) The Commissioner may decide to record a person's personal information in the register if — (a) the Commissioner has withheld the person's personal information under subregulation (2); and (b) subregulation (3) no longer applies in relation to the person. (5) If the Commissioner decides to refuse a person's application under subregulation (2) or to record a person's personal information in the register under subregulation (4) — (a) the Commissioner must give the person notice of the decision and the reasons for the decision; and (b) the decision is a reviewable decision for the purposes of Part 5 Division 5 of the Act; and (c) the person is an affected person in relation to that decision.
