(a) estimate the person's eligible revenue for that period; and
(b) make a written assessment under section 47 of the person's eligible revenue for that period based on that estimate.
(2) The ACMA must give the person at least 14 days' written notice of:
(a) the amount of eligible revenue proposed to be assessed; and
(b) the ACMA's proposal to make the assessment based on the estimate.
(3) However, the ACMA is not required to:
(a) give the person a notice under subsection (2); or
(b) make a written assessment under section 47 of the person's eligible revenue for the period based on the estimate;
if the estimate is nil.
