24FC  When section 24FA protection arises—non‑government applications
  An area is subject to section 24FA protection at a particular time if:
 (a) before that time, a non‑claimant application, or a corresponding application for an approved determination of native title under a law of a State or Territory, has been made; and
 (b) the application is not covered by paragraph 24FB(a); and
 (c) the area is the whole or a part of the area covered by the application; and
 (d) 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
 (e) either:
 (i) at the end of that period, there is no relevant native title claim (see section 24FE) covering the area; or
 (ii) after the end of that period, but before the particular time, all entries that relate to a relevant native title claim that covered the area are removed from the Register of Native Title Claims or cease to cover the area; and
 (f) the application, in so far as it relates to that area, has not been withdrawn, dismissed or otherwise finalised; and
 (g) 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.
