391A: Resource consents following approval under Clean Air Act 1972
or “This law explains how people can get permission to release things into the air if they already had approval before the new rules started.”
You could also call this:

“When deciding if someone can release things into the air, old rules about clean air might be looked at.”

When you apply for permission to release pollutants into the air, the people making the decision can look at rules from an older law called the Clean Air Act 1972. These rules can help them decide whether to give you permission or not. This is part of a bigger set of rules about how we take care of our environment and natural resources in New Zealand.
