You could also call this:

"What happens when you send a compensation form to the chief executive"

Illustration for Fisheries Act 1996

If you lodge a compensation declaration with the chief executive for registration and it does not comply with the rules, the chief executive will return it to you and explain why it was not registered. If your declaration complies with the rules, the chief executive will register it and notify you that it has been registered. The chief executive can rely on the information in your declaration as evidence that you have provided compensation to quota owners as required by sections 186ZN and 186ZQ, unless they have reason to believe otherwise.
