These regulations, consisting of 52 sections and three Schedules, set out reporting requirements for permit holders and licensed fish receivers. They differ from the 2001 regulations mainly because they: replace the range of catch, effort, landing, and processing returns provided for by the 2001 regulations with a new set of event-based reports that permit holders must provide after a particular event happens, or an activity is started or finished; provide for event reports and licensed fish receiver returns to be provided electronically; provide for circulars issued by the Director-General of the Ministry for Primary Industries (the Director-General) to specify: additional information that must contained in event reports; the manner and form in which any kind of report must be provided, including the codes that must be used. Part 1 (event reports) provides for the following event reports: fish catch reports; non-fish species or protected fish species catch reports; processing reports; disposal reports; landing reports. Part 2 (monthly reports) provides for monthly harvest returns and licensed fish receiver returns. Provisions for both are carried over from the 2001 regulations. Monthly harvest returns record the fish taken by a permit holder in a month and licensed fish receiver returns record the fish received by a licensed fish receiver in a month. Part 3 (annual reports) provides for annual inventory returns; annual audit reports; client details annual update forms; licensed fish receiver details annual update forms. Regulations 41 to 43 set out the requirements relating to electronic reports. Schedule 1 contains transitional arrangements that give permit holders until 1 April 2018 to comply with these regulations, so long as they do not use trawl nets on vessels that are longer than 28 m. Schedule 2 sets out the information and documentation that must be contained in an annual audit report. Schedule 3 sets out amendments to other legislative instruments, including amendments to the infringement offences specified in the Fisheries (Infringement Offences) Regulations 2001.
