The applicant has submitted an on-line application for the Animal Welfare, Safety and Nutrient Storage Scheme under TAMS 2.

Applications for TAMS 2 are submitted under a tranche-based system, and the closing date for the Animal Welfare, Safety and Nutrient Storage Scheme is not until the 30 November 2015.

When the tranche closes all applications received will be examined and approvals will commence when all of the required checks have been undertaken. This is a complex process and my Department is required to evaluate, rank and assess all applications received under any given tranche together. Applications cannot be approved individually or on a rolling basis as they are submitted.
