13BA  Simplified outline
  The following is a simplified outline of this Part:

      This Part deals with environmental protection approvals.
      An operator may apply for an environmental protection approval in relation to an activity (other than a mining activity) to be carried on in the Antarctic.
      The Minister may grant the approval if the Minister is satisfied that the operator meets certain requirements in relation to the activity.
      Mandatory conditions relating to those requirements are imposed on all environmental protection approvals and those conditions cannot be varied or revoked. The Minister may also impose further conditions on an environmental protection approval, and may vary or revoke those conditions.
      If the Minister is satisfied that it is necessary to do so, the Minister may vary an environmental protection approval on his or her own initiative or at the request of the holder of the approval.
      The Minister may suspend or revoke an environmental protection approval if the Minister is satisfied that there has been non‑compliance with the conditions imposed on the approval or that the suspension or revocation is appropriate in all the circumstances.
      The Minister must cause a register of environmental protection approvals to be kept.
