properties and degree of hazard. Under certain circumstances, hazardous substances and new organisms may be able to be reassessed by the Authority.

There are specific provisions for importation into containment. Those provisions allow limited amounts of a non-approved hazardous substance or a new organism to be imported, manufactured, or developed in containment. The approvals for importation, manufacture, or development in containment are only available for certain purposes. Before any organism or substance approved for importation into containment can be released generally in New Zealand, the Authority must assess that organism or substance for release.

Part V—Controls: Controls will principally take the form of performance standards prescribed in regulations. Some economic instruments, including transferable permits and environmental user charges, may also be used to control the harmful effects from hazardous substances. Both direct controls and transferable permits will be included in regulations and put in place by Orders in Council. Environmental user charges will require separate legislative provision.

Part VI—Inspection, Enforcement, and Ancillary Powers: The various sector agencies, Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Customs, Occupational Safety and Health Service, Transport, Commerce, Health, and local authorities will enforce the controls. Where the controls are incorporated into their own legislation, their powers under their own Acts will be used. However there are circumstances where the officers of some agencies will be enforcing regulations made under this legislation. Powers of inspection and enforcement are therefore required. Territorial authorities will always use the powers under this legislation to enforce the regulations in public places and dwelling houses.

Part VII—Appeals: There are limited rights of appeal in certain circumstances from decisions of the Authority. There is no general appeal from assessment, but only a limited appeal on points of law.

Part VIII—Emergencies: Provides for emergencies involving danger from substances or organisms controlled under this legislation. Provision has been made for restrictions on entering property to be overridden by enforcement officers, fire services, and police for the purposes of dealing with the emergency.

Part IX—Miscellaneous Provisions: This Part contains regulation-making powers and other miscellaneous provisions.

Parts X to XV—Transitional Provisions: (Referred to Committee on the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Bill/Hon Simon Upton)
