4A Procurement of compliant life jackets
       (1) This instrument ceases to apply to an operator and their pilot in command mentioned in section 4 at the end of 3 February 2025 if the operator fails to comply with the applicable requirements of subsection (2).
       (2) By not later than the end of 3 February 2025 — the operator must provide CASA with a statement that details the following:
(a) the operator's efforts to obtain a compliant life jacket (including with applicable dates) for:
           (i) each applicable person mentioned in paragraph 26.56(2)(b) of the Part 91 MOS who is a crew member; and
           (ii) each applicable person mentioned in paragraph 11.49(2)(b) of the Part 133 MOS who is a crew member;
(b) the results of those efforts, including an expected date for the procurement of, and commencement of use of, the compliant life jackets (the nominated expected date).
Note 1   The statement should be provided to CASA by email to fsb.corro@casa.gov.au.
Note 2   A failure to expeditiously send a compliant statement to CASA may delay the time at which an operator may receive a CASA permission under subsection (5) below and may, therefore, affect an operator's ability to continue to use the exemption instrument.
       (3) For this instrument, a statement under subsection (2) is deemed to be an application for a CASA permission to continue to use this exemption instrument until the nominated expected date for the procurement of the compliant life jackets.
Note   CASA may grant a permission for the purposes of this subsection. This would be a reviewable decision for the Administrative Review Tribunal.
       (4) Subject to subsection (1), this instrument ceases to apply to an operator and their pilot in command mentioned in section 4 at the end of 3 March 2025 if the operator
