#### 88I Only entitled person may apply for special permission
(1) Despite subregulation 88A(1) and subject to regulation 88H, a person may apply for a special permission only if the person is, under this Division, declared to be an entitled person for the permission.
(2) The Authority may declare a person to be an entitled person for a special permission only if the permission is available to be granted under a plan of management, and either:
(a) has not been granted previously; or
(b) if granted previously—will not be in force at the time the entitled person is granted the applied‑for permission under regulation 88X.
> Note 1: A permission might no longer be in force because it has expired, has been surrendered or has been revoked.
> Note 2: The process of seeking expressions of interest must occur before the granting of the special permission. See regulation 88J.
