1202 If an executive officer of the recipient (or, if the recipient is not a body corporate, a person with an equivalent function) becomes aware that the recipient will no longer be an eligible person in relation to one or more facilities that carry on an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity on the next 30 June, the recipient must give the Regulator a report stating who is likely to be an eligible person in relation to the facilities on that date.
1203 If an executive officer of the recipient (or, if the recipient is not a body corporate, a person with an equivalent function) becomes aware that:

(b) a requirement relating to the closure of equipment is reasonably likely to occur within 6 months;
the recipient must give the Regulator a report of when the requirement is likely to occur.
1204 If an executive officer of the recipient (or, if the recipient is not a body corporate, a person with an equivalent function) becomes aware that a requirement relating to the closure of equipment has occurred, the recipient must give the Regulator a report of when the requirement occurred.

that an application by the recipient for the issue of free carbon units would, if it were made, be refused because the Regulator would not be satisfied as to the matter mentioned in paragraph 804(3)(f); and
(b) the requirement under clause 1304 for the recipient to relinquish carbon units has not been imposed in the first financial year;
the recipient must give the Regulator a report containing the information in subclause (3).
