(b)-(c) Approximately 95% of licences require the annual submission of statutory reports. However, it is estimated it would take approximately 50 hours to collate the detail needed to provide the exact figure as under the current system, each licence would have to be checked individually. The Department of Environment Regulation (DER) is continuing to reform licensing processes and systems and is currently examining options to facilitate the central collation of data relating to statutory submissions, including audit reports, through its Industry Licensing System. Under its 2011-12 and 2012-13 Industry Regulation Compliance Programs, the department has targeted resources at statutory reporting review and auditing and is continually working with licensees to achieve compliance.
