I move amendment No. 60:

In page 45, to delete line 6 and substitute the following: “required, or where the activity may have a significant impact on the environment.

(4)(a) The Minister shall prescribe via regulation the screening criteria requirements to determine if an activity may still have a significant impact on the environment where screening determinations have determined that Environmental Impact Assessment or Appropriate Assessment requirements or both are not required.

(b) Development shall not be exempted development for the purposes of this Act unless it is determined not to have a significant impact on the environment in accordance with the process and criteria prescribed under paragraph (a).

(c) Any determination made under paragraph (a) or (b) shall be publicly available and published on the website of the planning authority or the Coimisiún responsible for the determination as appropriate.”.
