23  Requirements for a forest management plan
 (1) For each project under this determination, the project proponent must create and maintain a forest management plan.
 (2) The forest management plan is a document that sets out the following for each CEA, as at a specified date:
 (a) the management record, consisting of a record of each management action and disturbance event in the CEA since the forest start date (including actions and events occurring between rotations); and
 (b) an explanation of how each management action has been or will be evidenced or documented;
 (c) the current management regime (see section 26);
Note:  This can be set out by referring to the management record entries for actions and events that have already occurred, and specifying the set of management actions and times, and the rotation period, that the project proponent proposes to apply in the remainder of the rotation.
 (d) the default management regime (see section 26);
Note: This will be the same as the current management regime unless there has been a disturbance event during the rotation.
 (e) if the default management regime is different from the default management regime in the forest management plan as at the end of the previous reporting period—the reasons for the change;
Note: This will reflect a change in the way it is planned to manage a rotation.
 (f) if the CEA is a conversion CEA—the default baseline management regime (see clause 8 of Schedule 2);
 (g) for each management action and disturbance event listed in the management record or in a management regime:
 (i) the time of the action or event in relation to the starting date for the rotation; and
 (ii) the appropriate FullCAM event type and FullCAM standard event as listed in the FullCAM guidelines; and
 (iii) the parameter values entered, or expected to be entered, into FullCAM, where these are not the defaults;
 (h) for each disturbance event listed in the management record—a description of the underlying natural disturbance or growth interruption;
 (i) an explanation of how records are made and kept for paragraph (2)(b) and sections 59 and 60.
Note: The management record and the current and default baseline management regimes are used to model rotations in scenarios under Part 4. In the modelling, a period of 12 months is assumed between future rotations.
 (3) The first forest management plan for a project must be created before the first scenario simulation is created in accordance with section 38.
 (4) If the CEA is not an ex-plantation CEA, the rotation period under the current management regime and the default management regime must be:
 (a) for an LR species for the land—not greater than the maximum clearfell age listed for the
