(b)	investigations of those applications, and
(c)	surveys of vessels undertaken in accordance with the Act, and

(d) miscellaneous other matters. sections 17 and 52 (the general regulation-making power).

These fee, charge and expense increases take account of an annual increase in the

prototype vessel surveys replacing a four tier fee system (based on vessel length and
permit class type) with a two tier system (solely based on the length of the vessel
concerned).
