2  Import risk analysis in progress under the Quarantine Regulations
(1) This item applies if an import risk analysis (the existing IRA) in relation to particular goods, or a particular class of goods, had been started under Part 6A of the Quarantine Regulations, but had not been completed before the commencement day.
(2) The Director of Biosecurity may continue to conduct the existing IRA as if it were a BIRA and, for that purpose, a requirement in the process prescribed by regulations made for the purposes of paragraph 169(1)(a) of the Biosecurity Act is taken to have been complied with in relation to the BIRA if the Director is satisfied that an equivalent requirement had been complied with in the course of conducting the existing IRA under the Quarantine Regulations.

(3) The Director of Biosecurity must publish on the Agriculture Department's website a notice:
 (a) identifying the existing IRA; and
 (b) stating that the existing IRA will continue to be conducted as a BIRA in accordance with the process prescribed by regulations made for the purposes of paragraph 169(1)(a) of the Biosecurity Act; and
 (c) specifying the requirements (if any) in the prescribed process that are taken to have been complied with in relation to the BIRA.
(4) For the purpose of continuing to conduct the existing IRA as a BIRA, section 31 of the Biosecurity Regulation 2016 has effect as if:
 (a) the words "within the period of 30 months commencing on the day the notice in relation to the BIRA was given under section 24" in subsection 31(1) were omitted, and the words "as soon as practicable after the report is prepared" were substituted; and
