12. (1) The regulations may prescribe conditions to be complied with, for the
purposes of this Act, in connexion with the manufacture at registered premises

premises of bountiable paper, he may apply to the Minister for registration of
those premises for the purposes of this Act.

(3) If conditions have been prescribed under sub-section (1), the Minister
shall not register the premises unless he is satisfied that those conditions
have been, or will be, complied with.

(4) The Minister may require the applicant to furnish such information as the
Minister considers necessary for the purposes of this Act, and may refuse to
register the premises until the information is furnished to his satisfaction.

(5) Where an applicant under this section was not, on 17 October 1978, engaged
in the manufacture of bountiable paper at the premises to which the
application relates, the Minister shall refuse to register the premises
unless, in the opinion of the Minister, the registration of the premises would
promote the orderly development of the manufacture in Australia of bountiable
paper.

(6) Subject to sub-sections (3), (4) and (5), if, in the opinion of the
Minister, bountiable paper is, or is proposed to be, manufactured at the
premises in respect of which the application is made, he shall register those
premises for the purposes of this Act.

(7) If the Minister so determines, the registration shall be deemed to have
taken effect on and from a date specified by the Minister, which, in the case
of the registration of premises at which the manufacture of bountiable paper
was carried out before 17 October 1978, may be a date earlier than 6 February
1979.

   (a)  that bountiable paper is not being manufactured at the premises;

   (b)  that the manufacture of bountiable paper at the premises is not being
        carried on by the person who applied for the registration of the
        premises; or

   (c)  if any conditions have been prescribed under sub-section (1), that
        bountiable paper that is being manufactured at registered premises is
        being manufactured otherwise than in accordance with those conditions,
        the Minister may, by notice in writing served either personally or by
        post on the occupier of the premises, and, if the occupier is not the
        person who applied for the registration of the premises, on that
        person, cancel the registration of the premises.

(9) For the purpose of the application of section 29 of the Acts
Interpretation Act 1901 to the service by post of a notice under sub-section
(8) of this section, such a notice posted as a letter addressed to the
occupier, or to the person who applied for the registration of the premises,
at the registered premises shall be deemed to be properly addressed.
