"When Your Animal Product Programme Registration is Turned Down"

If you apply to register a risk management programme, the Director-General will consider your application and any extra information you provide under section 21. The Director-General will tell you why they might not register your programme and give you a chance to respond in writing or in person. You will get a notice with details about why the Director-General does not want to register your programme. The Director-General will also give you a reasonable opportunity to make written submissions or be heard about the matter. If the Director-General decides not to register your programme, they will tell you in writing and explain why. If someone acting for the Director-General declines to register your programme, you can ask for a review of that decision under section 162.
