3  Authority

This instrument is made under paragraph 51(1)(c) of the Legislation Act 2003.

4  Definitions

In this instrument:

Legislation Act means the Legislation Act 2003.

Regulations means the Protection of the Sea (Shipping Levy Collection) Regulations.

5  Statement of reasons for issue of certificate

For the purposes of paragraph 51(2)(a) of the Legislation Act, this section sets out the statement of the reasons for the issue of this certificate.

Statement of reasons

I am satisfied that the Regulations would, apart from the operation of Part 4 of Chapter 3 of the Legislation Act, be likely to cease to be in force within 12 months after the sunsetting day for the Regulations.

The Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development has determined the Regulations to be unnecessary, subject to a minor amendment being made to the Protection of the Sea (Shipping Levy Collection) Act 1981. The Minister for Infrastructure and Transport intends to make this amendment in a Bill implementing a range of related measures. If these amendments successfully pass through Parliament, the Regulations will cease to be in force.

The Regulations are due to sunset on 1 April 2018. A 12 month deferral of the sunsetting day for the Regulations will avoid the need to remake them in their current form for the short period before they cease to be in force.

6  Deferral of sunsetting of the Regulations

The Regulations, for which the sunsetting day is 1 April 2018, are taken to cease to be in force under section 51 of the Legislation Act on 1 April 2019.

7  Repeal of this instrument

This instrument is repealed at the start of 2 April 2019.
