"67C.(1) A person who wishes to become a registered user in relation to the Sea Cargo Automation System or the Air Cargo Automation System may apply to the Comptroller to be so registered in relation to that system.

  "(2) An application must:

  (a)     be in writing; and

  (b)     be in an approved form; and

  (c)     contain such information as the form requires; and

  (d)     be signed in the manner indicated in the form.

"(3) The Comptroller may require an applicant for registration to give such additional information as the Comptroller considers necessary for the purposes of the application and may refuse to register the person until the information is given to the satisfaction of the Comptroller.

"(4) If an application is made to the Comptroller under this section for registration in relation to the Sea Cargo Automation System or the Air Cargo Automation System, the Comptroller must, having regard to that application and, where additional information is supplied in response to a request under subsection (3), to that additional information:

     (a)     register the applicant as a registered user in relation to that system by signing a notice stating that the applicant is such a registered user; or

     (b)     refuse to register the applicant as a registered user in relation to that system by signing a notice stating that the Comptroller has refused to register the applicant and setting out the reasons for the refusal.

"(5) Without limiting the generality of subsection (4), the Comptroller may refuse to register an applicant as a registered user in relation to a system if the Comptroller is satisfied that the applicant does not have, and is not likely to acquire within a reasonable time after making the

application, computer facilities of the kind referred to in paragraph (7)(a) in respect of an application for such a registration.

"(6) If the Comptroller registers a person as a registered user in relation to a system, the registration has effect from the day on which the relevant notice was signed.

"(7) Each registered user in relation to a system must, as soon as practicable after registration, enter into an agreement with Customs, setting out the terms and conditions of computer access to Customs in accordance with section 67B including:

    (a)     a condition that the user will use computer facilities of a kind specified in the agreement as suitable for all computer communications with Customs on that system; and

    (b)     a condition that the user, when assigned an identifying code by the Comptroller, will ensure the security of the code in a manner indicated in the agreement.
