Where an authority  is considering doing this, the Scottish Government expects the authority to consult  all the relevant statutory consultees, businesses, members of the public and  other interested parties. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ELocal authorities are able to amend or revoke an existing  AQMA order at any time as set out under section 83 (2) of the 1995 Act. All available supporting information to  justify the amendment or revocation should be provided to the Scottish  Government in the form of a Detailed Assessment before any changes take place.  The local authority may submit this evidence at any time and does not need to wait  until the next stage of the reporting cycle The Scottish Government expects  local authorities to undertake any amendments\/revocations of existing AQMA  orders within four months following submission of the Detailed Assessment  (provided there is sufficient evidence to justify the proposed amendment\/revocation  of an AQMA).\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EHowever, where a local authority feels that it has  sufficient evidence to justify the need to amend\/revoke an AQMA at any time, it  should submit that evidence to the Scottish Government for appraisal. For those  authorities that have continuous monitoring, the Scottish Government would expect  them to keep the AQMA under regular review, and to take action where necessary,  rather than await the next round of reviews and assessments.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EOnce an amendment\/revocation has taken place, the local  authority should submit the amended\/revocation order to the Scottish Government  for information. Local authorities should also notify other statutory  consultees and publicise the amendment\/revocation widely through the local  media, so the public and local businesses are fully aware of the situation.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAn example of a Local Authority revocation can be found here: \u003Ca href=\u0022..\/assets\/laqm-documents\/NLC_revocation.pdf\u0022 rel=\u0022nofollow\u0022\u003ENorth  Lanarkshire Revocation\u003C\/a\u003E (PDF)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n      \n  \u003C\/article\u003E\n","dialogOptions":{"dialogClass":"flowchart-modal-popup","width":"50%","modal":true,"title":"Amending or Revoking an AQMA"}}]
