7B Records for Schedule 2 facilities
(1) For paragraph 30(2)(b) of the Act, the records to be kept by the operator of a Schedule 2 facility are records of the information mentioned in this regulation. (2) For each plant comprising, or comprising part of, the facility in a permit year for the facility, the information is: (a) the chemicals produced in the year; and (b) the processes in the year involving an amount of a Schedule 2 chemical exceeding the chemical’s Schedule 2 permit threshold; and (c) the processes in the year involving other chemicals; and (d) any other main activities in the year; and (e) if an amount of a Schedule 2 chemical exceeding, in the aggregate, the chemical’s Schedule 2 permit threshold is produced, processed or consumed at the plant in the year—the production capacity of the plant for the chemical; and (f) whether the plant’s function is dedicated or multi‑purpose. (3) If more than the Schedule 2 permit threshold of a Schedule 2 chemical is produced, processed or consumed at a plant comprising, or comprising part of, the facility in a permit year for the facility, the information for the chemical is also: (a) the identity of the chemical, including its Chemical Abstracts Service registry number, if assigned, and its common or trade name (if any); and (b) the sum of: (i) the total amount produced, processed or consumed; and (ii) the total amount imported or exported by the operator. (4) If more than the Schedule 2 permit threshold of a Schedule 2 chemical is produced, processed or consumed at a plant comprising, or comprising part of, the facility in a permit year for the facility, the information is the purposes for which the chemical was produced, processed or consumed, including: (a) if the chemical was processed or consumed at the facility—a general description of the final product; and (b) whether the chemical was produced for sale or transfer within Australia, direct export or other use; and (c) if the chemical was transferred within Australia: (i) whether it was to be transferred to another industry, a trader or another destination; and (ii) if possible, a general description of the final product; and (d) if the chemical was to be exported directly—a specification of the destination; and (e) if the chemical was produced or processed for another use—an identification of that use.
