Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This proclamation fixes 1 January 2012 as the commencement date for Parts 1 and 2 of Schedule 2 of the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Amendment (National Regulator) Act 2011, thereby activating the provisions that establish the national offshore petroleum regulator (NOPSEMA) and transfer regulatory powers to it.

It affects companies operating offshore oil, gas and greenhouse‑gas storage in Commonwealth waters and the regulator itself, and matters because it brings the already‑passed regulator scheme into practical operation and enforcement.
