33 Making records available
(1) A titleholder must make available, in accordance with this regulation, copies of the records specified in regulation 32.
(2) The titleholder must make copies of the records available to any of the following persons, on request in writing by the person—
(a) the Minister;
(b) a delegate, under section 792 of the Act, of the Minister;
(c) a greenhouse gas project inspector or a petroleum project inspector.
(3) If the person making the request states that copies of the records be made available to an agent of the person, the titleholder must make the copies available to the agent.
(4) However, if the titleholder—
(a) requests a person who is a delegate of the Minister to produce written evidence of the delegation; or
(b) requests a person who is a greenhouse gas project inspector or a petroleum project inspector to produce written evidence of the person's appointment as a greenhouse gas project inspector or a petroleum project inspector; or
(c) requests a person who is an agent to produce written evidence of the person's appointment as an agent—
the titleholder is not required to make the records available unless the person produces the evidence to the titleholder.
(5) The copies of the records must be made available—
(a) in the case of an emergency relating to the activity—as soon as possible at any time of the day or night on any day during an emergency; or
(b) in any other case—during normal business hours on any day at the place where the records are kept, other than a Saturday, a Sunday, or a public holiday appointed under the Public Holidays Act 1993.
(6) The copies of the records must be made available at the place where the records are kept or, if agreed between the titleholder and the person making the request (or the person's agent), at any other place (including by means of electronic transmission to the person or agent at that place).
(7) If the records are stored on a computer, the records must be made available in printout form or, if the titleholder and the Minister so agree, in electronic form.
