National Residue Survey Levy Regulations (Amendment)

Section 13 of the National Residue Survey Administration Act 1992 (the Act) provides that the Governor-General may make regulations, not inconsistent with the Act, prescribing all matters required or permitted by the Act to be prescribed, or necessary or convenient to be prescribed for the purposes of carrying out or giving effect to the Act. Section 8 of the National Residue Survey (Aquatic Animal Export) Levy Act 1992 (the NRS Act) provides that the Governor-General may make regulations, not inconsistent with the NRS Act, prescribing all matters required or permitted by the NRS Act to be prescribed, or necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to the NRS Act. The purpose of the regulations is to delete reference to the prescribed levy of "$0.00" for aquatic animals as the Seafood Industry now wishes to recover the cost of its national chemical residue monitoring program by levy payment. Regulations covering a levy for the purposes of the National Residue Survey are the subject of a separate submission.
