sec.151Allocation of PICs

### sec.151 Allocation of PICs This section applies if the chief executive registers a person as a registered biosecurity entity under this part for the person’s keeping of designated animals other than bees. The chief executive must allocate a property identification code (a PIC ) to any designated place the subject of the registration unless a PIC has already been allocated to the place because of another registration under this part. The chief executive may give a registered biosecurity entity a PIC other than for a designated place, and include the PIC in the biosecurity register, if the chief executive is satisfied it is necessary for the integrity of the NLIS. The chief executive must take any action the chief executive considers appropriate, including by cancelling or replacing a PIC and amending the biosecurity register accordingly, to ensure to the greatest practicable extent that any 1 place the details of which are recorded in the register has only 1 PIC that is unique to that place. If the chief executive takes any action under subsection (4) that affects the registration details of a registered biosecurity entity, the chief executive must give the entity an information notice for the decision to take the action. Subject to other requirements of this chapter relating to PICs, a PIC may take any form the chief executive considers appropriate.
