APVMA seeks input on cost recovery plans
The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has released a cost recovery discussion paper as the first step in developing interim cost recovery arrangements for the authority to cover the period 1 July 2012– 30 June 2015.
Swimming pool chemical suppliers and other APVMA stakeholders should provide comments or submissions on the discussion paper by the closing date of 28 February 2012.
Stakeholder comments received in response to the discussion paper will be used to provide input to the APVMA’s interim cost recovery arrangements to cover the period from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2015.
All aspects of the authority’s funding arrangements, including its design, will be considered as part of this review, which will involve separate consultation with stakeholders. This discussion paper seeks comment on interim arrangements to be put in place whilst the fundamental review proceeds.
The authority says it is committed to working with industry and stakeholders to identify interim cost-recovery arrangements that are fair, equitable and transparent—and which provide certainty for both industry and the APVMA.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: 5.00 pm (Canberra time) Tuesday, 28 February 2012.
