322: Distribution and responsibility for maintenance of purchases under section 321

You could also call this:

"Who looks after things the Authority buys to help with oil spills"

The Authority can give things it bought under section 321 to regional councils or other people. This happens when the Authority thinks it is a good idea and it fits with the New Zealand marine oil spill response strategy. The Authority decides who gets these things.

When the Authority gives something to a regional council or another person, the Authority still owns it. The regional council or person who got the thing must take care of it and keep it in good condition, following any instructions from the Authority.

The Authority will pay for the reasonable costs of taking care of these things, as long as the regional council or person is following the Authority's instructions.
