Issued by Authority of the Minister for Primary Industries and Energy

National Residue Survey (Horse Slaughter) Levy 1992

Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (National Residue Survey - Horse Slaughter) Regulations (Amendment)

Section 13 of the National Residue Survey (Horse Slaughter) 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 correct a minor drafting error that occurred in the original regulations. The regulations are used to set the operative rate of levy to be recovered from the 'Horse Slaughter for Human Consumption' industry for its compulsory chemical residue monitoring program. The correction now makes it clear that the rate of levy set by regulation is triggered by section 6 of the NRS Act, not by sub-section 9 (2) as previously quoted.

The regulations do not disadvantage any person in any way, nor impose a legal liability upon a person, in the context of paragraphs 48(2)(a) and 48(2)(b) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.
