6  Certification of coverage of impacts by assessment

(1) For the purposes of items 4 and 5, the Minister administering Part 3 of the new Act may certify in writing that the impacts that a specified action has, will have or is likely to have on the environment have been, are being or will be assessed under the Administrative Procedures (as applying because of the EPIP Act or Part 2 of Schedule 3 to this Act).

(2) That Minister may do so either of that Minister's own accord, or in response to a written request from a person.

(3) In deciding whether to certify, that Minister may consider only whether the impacts that a specified action has, will have or is likely to have on the environment have been, are being or will be assessed under the Administrative Procedures (as applying because of the EPIP Act or Part 2 of Schedule 3 to this Act).

(4) A person may give that Minister a written request that that Minister certify in relation to a particular action. That Minister must decide whether to grant the request within 30 days of receiving it.

(5) That Minister may, by instrument in writing, revoke a certificate relating to an action if:
 (a) either:
 (i) substantial new information relating to the action has become available since the certificate was made; or
 (ii) a substantial change in circumstances has occurred that was not foreseen at the time the certificate was made; and
 (b) because of the new information or change, that Minister is satisfied that an impact that the action has, will have or is likely to have on the environment has not been, is not being and will not be assessed under the Administrative Procedures (as applying because of the EPIP Act or Part 2 of Schedule 3 to this Act).
