### sec.252 Who may apply for transfer
The holder (the existing holder ) of the environmental authority may make an application (a transfer application ) to transfer all or part of the authority to a person.
An environmental authority is held by 3 joint holders. The joint holders may make a transfer application to transfer the authority to 2 only of the joint holders. Alternatively, the joint holders may seek to transfer the authority to another person, so that the authority will be held by 4 joint holders.
It is proposed that a new person will carry out part of the relevant activity for an environmental authority. The holder of the authority may make a transfer application to transfer to the new person that part of the authority that relates to the activity to be carried out by the new person.
However, an application can not be made by a holder if section 125 (8) was relied on in the application for the environmental authority.
