Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (National Residue Survey - Cattle Transactions) Regulations (Amendment)

Section 30 of the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection Act 1991 (the Collection Act) provides that the Governor-General may make regulations, not inconsistent with the Collection Act, prescribing all matters required or permitted to be prescribed, or necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to the Collection Act, in particular the making of provisions in relation to the payment of levy or amounts on account of levy and other amounts payable to the Commonwealth.

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 increase the operative levy rate for cattle under the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (National Residue Survey-Cattle Transactions) Regulations from to 1 July 1994.

The prescribed operative rate of levy appearing in the Schedule of the National Residue Survey Administration Act 1992 in respect of the transfer of ownership of cattle, the delivery of cattle to a processor, the slaughter of cattle and the exportation of cattle, has been increased from eighteen (18) cents per head to twenty six (26) cents per head.

This rate of levy is effective from 1 July 1994 and takes into account cattle industry concerns at having sufficient funds available to carry out both specific targeted testing programs and ongoing monitoring programs.
