 (b) the area is the whole of the area covered by the application and the application has not been amended as to area; and
 (c) the period specified in the notice given under section 66, or under a corresponding provision of the law of the State or Territory, has ended; and
 (d) at the end of that period, there is no relevant native title claim (see section 24FE) covering the area or a part of the area; and
 (e) the application has not been withdrawn, dismissed or otherwise finalised; and
 (f) there is no entry on the National Native Title Register, included under paragraph 193(1)(a) or (b), specifying that native title exists in relation to the area or a part of the area.
