23  Revocation of tariff rate quota entitlement on request
 (1) A person who has a tariff rate quota entitlement for an eligible feed grain contract and a quota year may give the Secretary a written notice (a revocation notice) stating that:
 (a) the person does not want to make further applications for tariff rate quota certificates for consignments under the contract; and
 (b) the person wants the tariff rate quota entitlement for the contract to be revoked.
 (2) A revocation notice must be given to the Secretary before the end of the certificate application period for the contract.
Note: If no notice is given and an amount of tariff rate quota entitlement remains at the end of the certificate application period, the entitlement will be revoked and the person will be excluded from applying for further reservation amounts for a period (see section 24).
 (3) If the Secretary receives a revocation notice, the person's tariff rate quota entitlement for the contract and the quota year is revoked at the time the Secretary receives the notice.
Note: For the purposes of paragraphs 9(2)(b) and (3)(c), the total of the person's reservation amounts for eligible feed contracts and the quota year is taken to be reduced by any tariff rate quota entitlement revoked under this section (see subsection 9(4)).
 (4) However, if at the time the Secretary receives the notice the person has made one or more applications for a tariff rate quota certificate in relation to a consignment to be exported under the contract in the quota year that the Secretary has not dealt with, the entitlement is revoked when the Secretary has dealt with all of the applications.
 (5) The Secretary must record the revocation of the entitlement in an electronic system maintained by the Department.
 (6) If the amount of the revoked tariff rate quota entitlement for the contract and the quota year is more than 25% of the reservation amount for the contract and quota year, the person must not make an application under section 7 for a period of 28 days beginning on the day the Secretary receives the revocation notice.
