When the Director is making or reviewing the national marine oil spill contingency plan, they talk to people they think are suitable. The national plan must include things the Director thinks are suitable, and it must match the New Zealand marine oil spill response strategy. The Director must think about New Zealand's international obligations and the New Zealand marine oil spill response strategy when making or reviewing the plan, as well as other things they think are suitable, under section 297.
