13. (1) The regulations may prescribe conditions to be complied with, for the
purposes of this Act, in relation to the production of bountiable products at
registered premises.

(2) Where a person carries on, or proposes to carry on, the production of a
class of bountiable products at any premises, the Minister may-

   (a)  of his own motion; or

   (b)  upon application to do so being made to him by the person,
register the premises, for the purposes of this Act, in respect of that class
of bountiable products.

(3) If conditions have been prescribed under sub-section (1) that are
applicable to the production of that class of bountiable products at
registered premises, the Minister shall not register the premises in respect
of that class of bountiable products unless he is satisfied that the
conditions will be complied with.

(4) The Minister may require an applicant under this section to furnish such
information as the Minister considers necessary for the purposes of this Act,
and may refuse to register the premises, or refuse to register the premises in
accordance with the application, until the information is furnished to his

(5) Where an applicant under this section was not, on 11 August 1983, engaged,
at the premises to which the application relates, in the production of
bountiable products included in the class of bountiable products to which the
application relates, the Minister shall refuse to register those premises in
respect of that class of bountiable products unless, in the opinion of the
Minister, the registration of those premises in respect of that class of
bountiable products will promote the orderly development in Australia of the
industry producing bountiable products included in that class of bountiable
products.

(6) Where the Minister makes a decision under this section refusing an
application to register premises in respect of a class of bountiable products,
he shall cause to be served, either personally or by post, on the applicant a
notice in writing setting out the decision.

(7) Subject to sub-sections (3), (4) and (5), if, in the opinion of the
Minister, bountiable products included in the class of bountiable products to
which the application relates are, or are proposed to be, produced at the

served, either personally or by post, on the applicant, register those
premises in the name of the applicant, for the purposes of this Act, in
respect of that class of bountiable products.

(8) If the Minister so determines by instrument in writing, the registration
shall be deemed to have taken effect on and from a date specified by the
Minister, being a date not earlier than 1 January 1984.

(9) Upon application in writing made to the Minister by-

   (a)  the person in whose name premises are registered under this section;
        and

   (b)  a person who carries on, or proposes to carry on, the production, at
        those premises, of bountiable products included in a class of
        bountiable products in respect of which those premises are registered,
the Minister shall, by notice in writing served, either personally or by post,

   (b)  that the production of bountiable products at those premises is not
        being carried on by a person in whose name those premises are
        registered,
the Minister may, by notice in writing served, either personally or by post,
on the occupier of those premises, and, if the occupier is not the person in
whose name those premises are registered, on that person, cancel the
registration of those premises.

(11) Where the Minister is satisfied, in respect of any registered premises-

   (a)  that bountiable products are being produced at those premises, but
        that bountiable products included in a class of bountiable products in
        respect of which those premises are registered are not being produced
        at those premises;

   (b)  that the production of bountiable products at those premises is being
        carried on by a person in whose name those premises are registered,
        but that the production of bountiable products included in a class of
        bountiable products in respect of which those premises are registered
        is not being carried on by the person in whose name those premises are
        registered in respect of that class of bountiable products; or

   (c)  if any conditions have been prescribed under sub-section (1) that are
        applicable to the production of a class of bountiable products in
        respect of which those premises are registered-that
        bountiable products included in that class of bountiable products are
        being produced at those premises otherwise than in accordance with the
        conditions,
the Minister may, by notice in writing served, either personally or by post,
on the person in whose name those premises are registered in respect of that
class of bountiable products, cancel the registration of those premises in
respect of that class of bountiable products.

(12) For the purpose of the application of section 29 of the Acts
