(2) An applicant that is not a primary applicant is a secondary applicant for the category.

2.30K Final quota allocations to primary applicants for a category with a set-aside

(1) The following steps show how to work out, for each primary applicant, the final quota allocation for a category with a set‑aside.

Step 1. For each primary applicant, round the amount of the preliminary quota allocation, calculated under regulation 2.30I, so it is divisible by the amount of the minimum allocation with no remainder, 50% of an allocation being rounded up.

Step 2. If the sum of the rounded amounts calculated in Step 1 is less than 95% of the access amount for the category, subtract the total of the sum of the rounded amounts from 95% of the access amount, giving the additional amount.

Step 3. Allocate extra quota to the primary applicants in proportion to each applicant’s preliminary quota allocation, so that the sum of the extra quota allocations equals the additional amount.

Step 4. If the total of the rounded amounts calculated in Step 1 is more than 95% of the access amount for the category, subtract 95% of the access amount from the total of the rounded amounts, giving the withdrawal amount.

Step 5. Withdraw quota, from the primary applicants whose preliminary quota allocations exceed the minimum amount, in proportion to each of these applicants’ preliminary quota allocation so that the sum of the withdrawn quota allocations equals the withdrawal amount.

(2) The final quota allocation for each primary applicant is:

(a) if the sum of the rounded amounts calculated in Step 1 equals 95% of the access amount for the category — the amount resulting after Step 1; or

(b) if an additional amount is calculated — the amount resulting after Step 3, rounded to the nearest tonne, 500kg being rounded up; or

(c) if a withdrawal amount is calculated — the amount resulting after Step 5, rounded to the nearest tonne, 500kg being rounded up.

2.30L Final quota allocations — secondary applicants for a category with a set-aside

The following steps show how to work out, for secondary applicants, the final quota allocation for a category with a set‑aside.

Step 1. Divide 5% of the access amount by the number of secondary applicants.

Step 2. If the result of Step 1 is equal to or less than the minimum allocation for the category, the final quota allocation for each applicant is an amount equal to the result of Step 1.

Step 3. If the result of Step 1 is an amount greater than the minimum allocation for the category:

(a) the final quota allocation for each applicant is an amount equal to the minimum allocation; and

(b) the remaining amount is allocated equally between all applicants whose final quota allocation is equal to or less than:

(i) 5% of the access amount; or

(ii) 4 times the minimum allocation.

2.30M Final quota allocations — Non-fat Dried Milk Powder and Skim Milk Powder

(1) The following steps show how to work out the final quota allocation to an applicant for the FTA categories Non-fat Dried Milk Powder and Skim Milk Powder.

Step 1. For each applicant, round the amount of the preliminary quota allocation calculated under regulation 2.30I so it is divisible by the amount of the minimum allocation with no remainder, 50% of a minimum allocation being rounded up.

Step 2. If the sum of the rounded amounts calculated in Step 1 is less than the access amount for the category, subtract the total of the rounded amounts from the access amount, giving the additional amount.

Step 3. Allocate extra quota to all the applicants in proportion to each applicant’s preliminary quota allocation so that the extra quota allocations equal the additional amount.

Step 4. If the total of the rounded amounts calculated in Step 1 is more than the access amount for the category, subtract the access amount from the total of the rounded amounts, giving the withdrawal amount.

Step 5. Withdraw quota from each applicant whose allocation exceeds the minimum allocation, in proportion to each applicant’s preliminary quota allocation, so that the sum of the withdrawn quota allocations equals the withdrawal amount.

(2) The final quota allocation for each applicant is:

(a) if the sum of the rounded amounts calculated in Step 1 equals the access amount for the category — the amount resulting after Step 1; or

(b) if an additional amount is calculated — the amount resulting after Step 3, rounded to the nearest tonne, 500kg being rounded up; or

(c) if a withdrawal amount is calculated — the amount resulting after Step 5, rounded to the nearest tonne, 500kg being rounded up.

2.30O Secretary to tell applicant about amount of quota

If the Secretary grants an allocation of quota to an applicant, the Secretary must give the applicant a statement setting out the amount of the quota.

where:

percentage increase is the yearly percentage increase for the category under the terms of the FTA.

PAA (or previous access amount) is the access amount of the category of dairy produce for the previous year.

(2A) If there are no secondary quota holders or new entrants, the following steps show how to work out, for each primary quota holder, the quota allocation for each category under this Subdivision.

Step 1. Allocate to each primary quota holder an amount equal to the amount of quota allocated to the holder for the previous year, taking into account any amounts of quota that were:

(a) forfeited, under subregulation 2.30Z (6) or 2.30ZA (2) or both, by the holder in that year; and

(b) transferred to or from the holder, under regulation 2.30Z.

Step 2. Allocate to each primary quota holder an amount of quota in proportion to the holder’s allocation under Step 1, so that the sum of the additional amounts equals the sum of:

(a) the additional access amount; and

(b) total forfeits.

(3) If there are 1 or more secondary quota holders, new entrants or both, the following steps show how to work out, for each primary quota holder, secondary quota holder and new entrant, the quota allocation for each category under this Subdivision.

Step 1. Allocate to each primary quota holder and secondary quota holder an amount equal to the amount of quota allocated to the holder for the previous year, taking into account any amounts of quota that were:

(a) forfeited, under subregulation 2.30Z (6) or 2.30ZA (2) or both, by the holder in that year; and

(b) transferred to or from the holder, under regulation 2.30Z.

Step 2. Allocate to each primary quota holder and secondary quota holder an amount of quota in proportion to the holder’s allocation under Step 1, so that the sum of the additional amounts equals the sum of:

(a) half of the additional access amount; and

(b) total forfeits.

Step 3. Allocate an equal amount to each new entrant and secondary quota holder so that the sum of the allocations for this step equals half of the additional access amount.

2.30V Export approvals

(1) The Secretary:

(a) must, unless subregulation (2) applies, deal with applications made under regulation 2.30U on a first-come-first-served basis; and

(b) must not approve, for export, a total amount of dairy produce in a category that exceeds the access amount for the category.

(2) If, on the application day, applications are made for more than the access amount of dairy produce, then the following steps show how to work out the amount for each applicant.

Step 1. Divide the access amount by the number of applicants, giving the provisional amount.

Step 2. Determine whether distributing the provisional amount to each applicant would lead to any applicant being approved to export a greater amount than the applicant applied for (that is, being an excess-quota applicant).

Step 3. If the result of Step 2 is that there are no excess-quota applicants:

(a) each applicant receives an approval to export an amount that is equal to the provisional amount; and

(b) this subregulation is satisfied.

Step 4. If the result of Step 2 is that there are 1 or more excess-quota applicants:

(d) Steps 1, 2, 3 and, if necessary, this Step are repeated until this subregulation is satisfied.

(3) However, before 1 July in the year following application day, the Secretary must not grant an approval if the grant would result in the applicant being approved to export more than a third of the access amount for the category.

(4) If, on 1 July following an application day (or if 1 July in a year is not a working day, the next working day after 1 July), the total amount of dairy produce approved for export under this regulation is less than the access amount, the Secretary may accept applications for export approvals for the remainder of the access amount, including applications from persons who were approved to export an amount before that day.

(5) The Secretary must:

(a) deal with applications under subregulation (4) on a first-come-first-served basis; or

(b) if, on the day mentioned in subregulation (4), applications are made for more than the remaining access amount — use the steps set out in subregulation (2) to work out the amount to be granted to each applicant.

(6) If the Secretary grants an export approval to an applicant, he or she must give the applicant a quota certificate as evidence of the approval.

(7) An export approval granted under this regulation is not transferable.

2.30W Forfeiture of approval
