Notifiable Instrument NI 2016–416 
made under the
Road Transport (Public Passenger Services) Regulation 2002, section 92D (Standard and wheelchair taxi licences—time for decision on application)

1	Name of instrument
This instrument is the Road Transport (Public Passenger Services) Delaying Decision on Application for Taxi Licence Guidelines 2016 (No 1).

2	Commencement
This instrument commences on 1 August 2016.

3	Approval 
1.	I approve the following circumstances to justify delaying a decision on an application for the issue of a standard or wheelchair taxi licence, provided the delegate authorised to issue the licence, believes on reasonable grounds, that the applicant intends to operate a taxi service and the additional time is necessary because:
(a) 	a third party provider cannot provide the necessary services required for the applicant to meet all the requirements for the vehicle to be registered as a taxi, or to meet the requirements to obtain accreditation; or
(b) 	any other unforeseen circumstance that is outside of the control of the applicant to meet all of the requirements in order to be issued with a taxi licence. 
2.	If the time for a decision on the application has been delayed, the applicant will be notified in writing of the date that the decision must be made and the date the licence will be issued.
