#### 47C Notice of end of registration
(1) If the registration of a chemical product ends without being renewed, the APVMA must publish in the Gazette, and in any other manner that it thinks appropriate, notice of the end of the registration.
(2) The notice must:
(a) be published as soon as practicable after the registration ends; and
(b) state that the registration has ended; and
(c) set out the date on which the registration ended; and
(d) contain instructions for possessing, having custody of or using the product; and
(e) contain a warning of the consequences if a person fails to comply with the instructions, including a statement of any period after which it will be an offence against this Code to supply the product or to possess or have custody of the product with the intention of supplying it; and
(f) contain any other warnings or explanations in relation to the product that the APVMA thinks desirable; and
(g) contain any other information that the APVMA thinks appropriate.
(3) Subsection (1) does not apply if:
(a) the APVMA thinks that, in the circumstances, it is unnecessary to publish the notice; or
(b) the registration of the chemical product ends because it is cancelled.
> Note: For notice of the cancellation of the registration of a chemical product, see section 45A.
(4) If a notice is published under this section, the APVMA must:
(a) as soon as practicable cause a copy of the notice to be given to the person who was the holder of the registration; and
(b) cause a copy of the notice to be given to any other person who, in the opinion of the APVMA, should be given notice of the ending of the registration and of the instructions, warnings and explanations contained in the notice.
