26: Notification of minor amendments to risk management programmes

You could also call this:

"Telling the Director-General about small changes to your animal product risk management plan"

If you have a risk management programme, you must tell the Director-General about any small changes you make to it. You need to do this so your programme still meets the requirements of section 17. These changes are small, so you do not need to register them under section 25, and you have not told the Director-General about them before.

You must tell the Director-General about these changes in a way they approve, and at the times set out in the regulations. You also need to give them any information and material they require, and pay a fee if they ask for one.

When the Director-General is happy that you have done all this, and your programme still meets the requirements of section 17, they will register that your programme has been updated.

    1. have not been previously notified to the Director-General under this section.

      1. Notification of such amendments must—

      2. be made in a form or manner approved by the Director-General; and
        1. be made at the intervals set out in the regulations or any supplementary notice; and
          1. be accompanied by—
            1. any information and other material required by the regulations or any supplementary notice; and
              1. the prescribed fee (if any); and
