396A: Notification of lapsing, cancellation, or surrender of coastal permit for marine farming
or “The law tells people when a special fishing permit has ended or been given up.”
This part of the law used to be about telling people when rules changed for marine farming. However, it’s no longer part of the law. The government removed this section on 1 January 2005. If you want to know more about why this change happened, you can look at section 25 of the Resource Management Amendment Act (No 2) 2004.
