You could also call this:

“Using other information in environmental rules by referencing it”

A national environmental standard or national policy statement can include other material by referencing it, as outlined in the Schedule 1AA. You can find the rules for doing this in that schedule. This means that the standard or statement can use information from other sources without having to repeat it all.
