AGRICULTURAL AND VETERINARY CHEMICALS ACT 1988

Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Regulations

Section 49 of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Act 1988 provides that the Governor-General may make regulations for the purpose of the Act.

Approval of the amendments to the Regulations will permit the National Registration Authority for Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals to charge, in most cases, lower application fees than are those that are currently being charged. The commencement of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemical Products (Collection of Interim Levy) Act 1994 will provide for the recovery of the major portion of cost of the National Registration Scheme through a levy on the sale of chemical products. To maintain the current fees schedule would recover more than 100% of costs.

The levy is to commence operation on 1 July 1994, the same day as the new fee schedule will commence.

Other amendments replace reference to the Australian Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Council with the National Registration Authority for Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (NRA) which replaced it on 15 June 1993.
