### sec.74A Standard relinquishment condition
It is a condition (the relinquishment condition ) of each authority to prospect that its holder must relinquish part of its area, as provided for under this subdivision—
on or before each of its relinquishment days; and
if section 74E (3) applies—on the day provided for under that subsection; and
if, under part 4 , division 2 , subdivision 3 , the period of the work program for the authority has been extended—the day on which the extended period ends.
However, if, under section 25J (4) , a relinquishment day for the authority (the original day ) is deferred for a stated period, for the relinquishment condition—
the relinquishment that was required on or before the original day is taken to have been deferred until the end of the stated period; but
the relinquishments required under the relinquishment condition on any later relinquishment days for the authority must be made as if the deferral has not been granted.
A relinquishment required under the relinquishment condition—
must be made by lodged notice (the relinquishment notice ); and
takes effect on the day after lodgement under paragraph (a) .
This section does not prevent the holder from relinquishing, by relinquishment notice, more than the part provided for under this subdivision.
