1995 No. 27 AGRICULTURAL AND VETERINARY CHEMICALS CODE REGULATIONS - REG 76

76. (1) For the purposes of section 165 (1) of the Code, the NRA must
determine an application of a kind specified in Column 2 of an item in
Schedule 6 within the period (if any) specified for the item in Column 3 of
that Schedule.

(2) A reference in Column 3 of an item in Schedule 6 to a modular assessment
period, is a reference to the modular assessment period in respect of the
application to which that item refers, worked out in accordance with
regulation 77.

(3) For the purposes of this regulation and Schedule 6, an application for
registration of a chemical product is a secondary application if:

   (a)  it is made at the same time as, or after, another application for
registration of a chemical product ("the primary application"); and

   (b)  the active constituents of the chemical product are the same as the
        active constituents of the chemical product that is the subject of
        the primary application; and

   (c)  the application is connected with, and dependent on, the primary
        application.

(4) Despite subregulation (1), if:

   (a)  the NRA receives an application for a permit in respect of a chemical
        product; and

   (b)  the application is in respect of an emergency use of the chemical
        product; the NRA must determine the application as soon as is
        practicable in the circumstances of the case. (NOTE: 1. Subsection 165
        (2) of the Code provides that in working out a period for the purposes
        of an application, no regard is to be had to certain periods that
        would otherwise be part of that period, including any period during
        which a requirement made by the NRA has not been complied with. 2. For
        the period within which an application for the renewal of the
        registration of a chemical product must be granted, see subsection 49
        (4) of the Code.)
