69 Revocation of multi‑year period declaration because of false or misleading information
(1) If, during a declared multi‑year period, the Regulator becomes satisfied that: (a) information provided to the Regulator by the responsible emitter in connection with the making of the multi‑year period declaration for the declared multi‑year period was false or misleading in a material particular; and (b) the Regulator would not have made the multi‑year period declaration if the false or misleading information had not been provided; the Regulator may revoke the multi‑year period declaration with effect from at least 30 days after the notification of the decision under this section. (2) Before the Regulator revokes the multi‑year period declaration, the Regulator must provide a written notice to each responsible emitter for the facility for the declared multi‑year period: (a) stating that it intends to revoke the multi‑year period declaration in relation to the facility under this section; and (b) seeking any comments by a date specified in the notice. (3) The Regulator must consider any comments received by the date specified in the notice and use all reasonable endeavours to revoke or decide not to revoke the multi‑year period declaration no later than 30 days after the date specified in the notice. (4) As soon as practicable after revoking a multi‑year period declaration, the Regulator must: (a) provide written notice of the decision to each responsible emitter for the facility for the declared multi‑year period; and (b) publish the details of the revocation of the multi‑year period declaration on its website. (5) To avoid doubt, a decision to revoke a multi‑year period declaration under this section is a reviewable decision under section 56 of the Act.
