NATIONAL RESIDUE SURVEY LEVY REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT) 1996 NO. 66

STATUTORY RULES 1996 No. 66

Issued by Authority of the Minister for Primary Industries and Energy

National Residue Survey Administration Act 1992

National Residue Survey Levy Regulations (Amendment)

Section 13 of the National Residue Survey Administration Act 1992 (the Act) provides that the Governor-General may make regulations, not inconsistent with the Act, prescribing all matters required or permitted by the Act to be prescribed, or necessary or convenient to be prescribed for the purposes of carrying out or giving effect to the Act.

The purpose of the regulations is to delete reference to the prescribed levy of '$0.00' for leviable oilseeds as the Grains Council of Australia now wishes to recover the cost of its national chemical residue monitoring program by levy payment. Regulations covering a levy of 0.015% of the value of oilseeds for the purposes of the National Residue Survey are the subject of a separate submission.
