171 Correction and updating of biosecurity register for registered biosecurity entities
The chief executive may correct the designated details for a registered biosecurity entity if satisfied that—
the designated details are incorrect as registered; or
the correction is necessary to ensure the traceability of designated animals or designated biosecurity matter.
The correction may be made at the chief executive’s own initiative, at the registered biosecurity entity’s request, or because of a change notice.
If a correction is made at the chief executive’s own initiative, and without a registered biosecurity entity’s request or consent and not because of a change notice to the extent the change notice is about the entity’s designated details, the chief executive must give the entity an information notice for the decision to make the correction.
If the chief executive is given a change notice, the chief executive must refuse to correct the designated details in compliance with the change notice to the extent the chief executive is satisfied that, in the circumstances, a further application for registration under this part should be made.
In this section—correct includes amend, and for a PIC or HIN, cancelling and replacing it.
