Export Control Act 2020

If the Secretary makes a variation in relation to the registration of an establishment under subsection 123(1), the Secretary must give the occupier of the establishment written notice of the variation.

The notice must state the following:

details of the variation;

if the variation is of the conditions of the registration—the varied conditions and any new conditions;

if the variation affects the period of effect of the registration:

the expiry date for the registration under paragraph 115(4)(a) or (b) (whichever applies); or

if there is no expiry date for the registration—that the registration remains in force unless it is revoked;

the date the variation takes effect;

any other information prescribed by the rules.

If the occupier was given a notice (a show cause notice) under subsection 123(3) that included the request referred to in paragraph 123(4)(c), the variation must not take effect before the earlier of the following:

the day after any response to the request is received by the Secretary;

the end of 14 days after the show cause notice was given.

If the certificate of registration for the establishment needs to be changed to take account of the variation, the Secretary must, within 7 days after making the variation, give the occupier of the establishment a new certificate of registration including the variation.

The registration, as varied, remains in force as provided by section 115.
