In that case, there is a conflict between the proposal and the
impact statement. 
2.2 seems to suggest that the NCC unilaterally declares a
resource "scarce" and the impact statement says the Community
does that - presumably through policy.
Why not re-word 2.2 to be the authoritative list of "scarce"
resources and any additions/rmovals can be done via the PDP?
