                                     Chapter 4A Great Barrier Reef protection measures
                                          Part 3 Environmental risk management plans

                                                                                  [s 97]

        (3)   An ERMP need not be called an environmental risk
              management plan.
              Example for section 96—
                 A person carrying out an agricultural ERA will comply with the ERMP
                 content requirements if—
                 (a) for good business practice, the person prepares a document called a
                     ‘farm management system’ that includes an environmental
                     management component; and
                 (b) the component consists of a land management agreement under the
                     Land Act 1994 and other documents; and
                 (c) the agreement and the other documents, when read together,
                     comply with the ERMP content requirements, but they are not
                     identified as an ERMP; and
                 (d) the person submits the component for accreditation as an ERMP.

              This division applies if a person has submitted an ERMP to

98       Request for further information

              stated in the notice.

99       Deciding whether to accredit
        (1)   The administering authority must decide to accredit or refuse
              to accredit the ERMP—
              (a)    if additional information is not required—within 60
                     business days after receiving the ERMP; or
