Issued by Authority of the Minister for Primary Industries and Energy

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

Section 13 of the National Residue Survey Administration 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 decrease the operative levy rate for buffaloes, under the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (National Residue Survey-Livestock Slaughter) Regulations from to 1 October 1995 and to insert an interpretation of the Collection Act previously omitted from the regulations.

The prescribed operative rate of levy for buffaloes appearing in Regulation 8 of the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (National Residue Survey-Livestock Slaughter) Regulations has been decreased from $5.00 per head to $0.00 per head.

This rates of levy is effective from 1 October 1995, and is consistent with the wishes of the Northern Territory Buffalo Industry Council, the recognised association representing the buffalo industry, in accordance with its current commitment to the National Residue Survey.
