### Division 14—Manufacture of newsprint
314 (1) The manufacture of newsprint is the chemical or physical transformation, through an integrated process, of any or all of woodchips, sawdust, wood pulp and recovered paper into rolls of coated or uncoated newsprint that:
(a) has a grammage range of 30 g/m2 to 80 g/m2; and
(b) has a moisture content range of 4% to 11%; and
(c) is generally usable for newspaper or publication products.
(2) The manufacture of newsprint is specified as an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity.
(3) The manufacture of newsprint is a highly emissions‑intensive activity.
> Note: See Part 4.
(4) For the manufacture of coated or uncoated newsprint that:
(a) has a grammage range of 30 g/m2 to 80 g/m2; and
(b) has a moisture content range of 4% to 11%; and
(c) is generally usable for newspaper or publication products;
the basis for the issue of free carbon units is the total air dried tonnes of rolls of coated or uncoated newsprint of saleable quality produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity.
> Note: Saleable quality is explained in Part 2.
(5) For the production of pulp from either or both of woodchips and sawdust, the basis for the issue of free carbon units is by a tonne of bone dried equivalent pulp that is:
(a) used in the integrated process of manufacturing newsprint; and
(b) produced as part of carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity.
(6) For the production of pulp from recovered paper, the basis for the issue of free carbon units is by a tonne of bone dried equivalent pulp that is:
(a) used in the integrated process of manufacturing newsprint; and
(b) produced as part of carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity.
(7) For this Part, an amount of pulp or paper that is used as a basis for the issue of free carbon units for one of the following emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activities:
(a) the manufacture of newsprint;
(b) dry pulp manufacturing;
(c) cartonboard manufacturing;
(d) packaging and industrial paper manufacturing;
(e) printing and writing paper manufacturing;
(f) tissue paper manufacturing;
does not count for the purposes of the basis for allocation of another of those emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activities.
