22ZRCircumstance—if activity ceases at site

#### 22ZR Circumstance—if activity ceases at site (1) If: (a) an exemption certificate has been issued in respect of an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity, a site and a year; and (b) during the year, the Regulator becomes satisfied that: (i) the activity has not been conducted at the site for a period of at least 3 months; and (ii) it is unlikely that the activity will be conducted again at the site for at least 9 months from the end of the period mentioned in subparagraph (i); and then, subject to subregulation (3), the Regulator may amend the certificate. (2) If the amount of the exemption is worked out under Division 5 (production calculation method), the amendment must reduce the amount of the exemption set out in the certificate that is attributable to the activity by the number calculated in accordance with the following formula:  where: > OL is the amount of the exemption set out in the exemption certificate expressed as megawatt hours. > D is the number of days in the year that the activity was not, or is not likely to be, conducted. > year’s days is the number of days in the year to which the exemption certificate relates. (3) The Regulator must not amend the certificate if the certificate has previously been amended under regulation 22ZP because the liable entity set out in the certificate ceased to be a liable entity for the site: (a) in the circumstances mentioned in paragraph 22L(1)(b) or paragraph 22L(2)(a); and (b) before the last time during the year when the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity was conducted at the site. (4) If the amount of the exemption is worked out under Division 5A (electricity use method), the amendment must take account of the cessation of the activity at the site.
