          (1A)  A person may not make an application for review under paragraph (1)(d) in respect of a decision to include or vary particulars in the Inventory in respect of a chemical if:

                     (a)  the person could have made or did make an application in respect of a refusal under paragraph 37(2)(b) to vary an assessment report about the chemical; and

                     (b)  the variation sought by the person related to recommendations in the report that were the same as or similar to the particulars.

"decision" has the same meaning as in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975 .
