Varying and revoking requirements
196B Varying and revoking requirements
The Agriculture Minister must vary or revoke a determination in force under section 196A in relation to a disease or pest if the Agriculture Minister is satisfied that:
the disease or pest no longer poses an unacceptable biosecurity risk; or
a requirement determined in relation to the disease or pest is no longer appropriate and adapted to prevent, or reduce the risk of, the disease or pest entering, or establishing itself or spreading in, Australian territory or a part of Australian territory.
An instrument that varies or revokes a determination made under section 196A is a legislative instrument, but section 42 (disallowance) of the Legislation Act 2003 does not apply to the instrument.
This section does not limit the application of subsection 33(3) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 in relation to a determination in force under section 196A.
