Changes to the Marine Mammals Protection Regulations 1992
28. It is proposed to amend regulation 12(4) and related consequential amendments to these regulations to ensure that an existing marine mammal operator is not required to advertise its intention to renew its existing permit where existing conditions and terms are not substantially different.
