1              Name of Regulations [see Note 1]

                These Regulations are the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas (Manufacture Levy) Regulations 2004.

2              Commencement [see Note 1]

                These Regulations commence on the date of their notification in the Gazette.

3              Ozone Protection (Licence Fees — Manufacture) Regulations 1995 — repeal

                The following Statutory Rules are repealed:

                  ·    1995 No. 391

                  ·    2003 No. 281.

4              Definition

                In these Regulations:

Act means the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas (Manufacture Levy) Act 1995.

5              Value for calculation of carbon dioxide equivalence of an amount of SGG

         (1)   For subsection 2B (1) of the Act, the value is the global warming potential amount in the following table for a kind of SGG.

Note   The values in the table are derived from table 4 on page 22 of Climate Change 1995—The Science of Climate Change: Contribution of Working Group I to the Second Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, published in 1996 by Cambridge University Press.

In 2012, the report was available online at www.ipcc.ch.

         (2)   If an SGG is composed of more than one kind of SGG, for each component that is specified in the table:

                (a)    the value is worked out separately; and

               (b)    the value is the amount specified in the table for the component.

Example   R410A is composed of 50% of HFC-32 and 50% of HFC-125. If a person imports 1 kilogram of R410A, the SGG amount in metric tonnes of the component will be 50% multiplied by 0.001, multiplied by the value for the component HFC-32 specified (650) (which equals 0.325 tonnes), plus 50% multiplied by 0.001, multiplied by the value for the component HFC‑125 specified (2 800) (which equals 1.4 tonnes) to equal the carbon dioxide equivalence of 1.725 tonnes for the 1 kilogram of R410A.

6              Manufacture levy rate—SGGs

                For the definition of prescribed rate in subsection 3A (5) of the Act, the rate is $165 per tonne.

7              Manufacture levy rate—substances other than SGGs

                For subsection 4 (1) of the Act, the following rates of levy are prescribed:

                (a)    for HCFCs—$3 000 per ODP tonne;

               (b)    for methyl bromide—$135 per tonne.
