56 Permits allowing introduction before assessment in the public interest

(1) Despite the repeal of the old law by Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the transitional Act: (a) subject to this section, section 30 of the old law continues to apply in relation to an application (the related application) for an assessment certificate for an industrial chemical made under section 23 of the old law, until a decision is made on the related application; and (b) a permit granted under subsection 30(1B) of the old law is taken to be an authorisation for the introduction of the industrial chemical under section 30 of the new law until a decision is made on the related application under the new law. (2) For the purposes of subsection (1) of this section, subsections 30(2) and (3) of the old law apply, on and after 1 July 2020, in relation to an application under that section as if the requirement for a notice to be published in the Chemical Gazette were instead a requirement to publish a notice on the AICIS website.
