109: Proposal to refuse application to recognise agency, person, or class of persons

You could also call this:

"When the government might say no to your application to be an approved animal products agency or person"

If you apply to be recognised as an agency, person, or class of persons, the Director-General might propose to refuse your application. The Director-General must talk to you about why they want to refuse your application, following the rules in section 112X. They will tell you the reasons for the proposed refusal and give you the information they used to make this decision.

When the Director-General tells you about the proposed refusal, they must specify the grounds for refusing your application and include a copy or a summary of the material information they relied on. The Director-General will follow the rules in section 112X(a)(i) when notifying you.

If the Director-General decides to refuse your application, they will give you written notice of their decision and the reasons for it. They will also tell you if you have the right to ask for a review of the decision under section 162, if this applies to you.
