34E  Further rules about public interest exception

 (1) This section applies if the NRA is satisfied under subsection 34D(3) that it is in the public interest to use information that section 34C would otherwise prohibit the NRA from using for making a decision:
 (a) under section 14 or 29 about an application; or
 (b) under section 34 about a reconsideration of an approval or registration.

 (2) As soon as practicable after becoming satisfied, the NRA must give written notice of its satisfaction to:
 (a) the applicant, an approved person or the interested person for the approval or registration; and
 (b) the person whom the NRA believes is the authorising party for the information.

 (3) Section 168 provides for additional matters to be included in the notice.

 (4) The NRA must not make the decision using the information before the end of 28 days after the day on which the notice is given.

 (5) However, subsections (3) and (4) do not apply if:
 (a) the NRA believes it is necessary to make the decision before the end of 28 days after the notice is given, to prevent imminent risk to public health or occupational health or safety; and
 (b) states that belief in the notice.
