OFFSHORE MINERALS ACT 1994 - SECT 337

(1) The Designated Authority must register:
(a) the details of any document under this Act that varies,
surrenders, cancels or otherwise affects a licence; and
(b) the details of any document that varies or revokes a
document referred to in paragraph (a).
Note: The documents referred to in paragraph (a) are:
- suspension of licence rights (see sections 48 (exploration licence),

- amendment of licence conditions between provisional grant and registration
(see sections 67 (exploration licence), 148 (retention licence), 211
(mining licence) and 280 (works licence))--these need to be registered at the
same time as the grant is registered because if the conditions are amended
between provisional grant and registration a replacement licence reflecting
the change in conditions is not issued to the provisional holder;

(see sections 111 (exploration licence), 170 (retention licence), 247

same time as the renewal because if the licence conditions are amended between
provisional renewal and registration a replacement licence reflecting the
changed conditions is not issued to the holder;
- variation of conditions (see sections 120 (exploration licence), 179
(retention licence), 256 (mining licence) and 306 (works licence));
