1 Name
of Regulations [see Note
1]
These Regulations are the Australian Radiation
Protection and Nuclear Safety (Licence Charges) Regulations 2000.
2 Commencement
[see Note 1]
These Regulations commence on gazettal.
3 Interpretation
(1) In these Regulations:
Act means the Australian Radiation
Protection and Nuclear Safety (Licence Charges) Act 1998.
ARPANS Act means the Australian Radiation
Protection and Nuclear Safety Act 1998.
ARPANS Regulations means the Australian
Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Regulations 1999.
(2) Unless the contrary intention appears, an
expression used in these Regulations that is defined in the ARPANS Act or the
ARPANS Regulations has the same meaning in these Regulations as it has in the
ARPANS Act or the ARPANS Regulations.
4 Annual
charge for facility licence — nuclear installations
(1) For subsection 4 (2) of the Act, this
regulation prescribes the amount of the charge for a financial year for a
facility licence that authorises persons to do a thing mentioned in column 2 of
an item in Schedule 1 in relation to a controlled facility that is a nuclear
installation.
(2) The amount of the charge for the licence for the
year is the amount mentioned in column 3 of the item.
Note Division 5 of Part 4 of the ARPANS
Regulations makes provision in relation to the time for payment of the annual
charge, pro-rating and refunds.
5 Annual
charge for facility licence — prescribed radiation facilities
(1) For subsection 4 (2) of the Act, this
regulation prescribes the amount of the charge for a financial year for a
facility licence that authorises persons to do a thing mentioned in paragraph
30 (1) (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of the ARPANS Act in relation to a
controlled facility that is a prescribed radiation facility of a kind mentioned
in column 2 of an item in Part 1 of Schedule 2.
(2) The amount of the charge for the licence for the
year is:
(a) subject to paragraph (b), the amount
mentioned in column 3 of the relevant item in Part 1 of Schedule 2; or
(b) if the thing authorised to be done by the
licence is mentioned in column 2 of an item in Part 2 of Schedule 2 —
the amount mentioned in column 3 of that item.
(3) If the licence authorises persons to do 2 or more of
the things mentioned in paragraphs 30 (1) (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e)
of the ARPANS Act in relation to the controlled facility, the amount of the
charge for the licence for the year is the sum of the amounts of charge for
each thing authorised to be done by the licence.
Note Division 5 of Part 4 of the ARPANS
Regulations makes provision in relation to the time for payment of the annual
charge, pro-rating and refunds.
6 Annual
charge for source licence
(1) For subsection 5 (2) of the Act, this
regulation prescribes the amount of the charge for a financial year for a
source licence that authorises persons to deal with a controlled apparatus or a
controlled material of a kind mentioned in column 2 of an item in Group 1, 2 or
3 of Part 1 of Schedule 3.
(2) Subject to subregulation (3), the amount of the
charge is:
(a) for a licence that authorises persons to
deal with controlled apparatus or controlled materials in the same location:
(i) if the controlled apparatus or
controlled materials are from the same Group — the amount mentioned in
column 3 of the provision in Part 2 of Schedule 3 that relates to the number of
controlled apparatus or controlled materials from that Group; and
(ii) if the controlled apparatus or
controlled materials are from 2 or more Groups — the sum of the amounts
mentioned in column 3 of the provisions in Part 2 of Schedule 3 that relate to
the number of controlled apparatus or controlled materials from each of those
Groups; and
(b) for a licence that authorises persons to deal
with controlled apparatus or controlled materials in 2 or more locations —
the sum of the amounts mentioned in column 3 of the provisions in Part 2 of
Schedule 3 that relate to the number of controlled apparatus or controlled
materials from each Group that persons are authorised to deal with in each
location.
Note Same location is
defined in subregulation 40D (3) of the ARPANS Regulations (see the
Dictionary to those Regulations).
(3) If the holder of the licence is a controlled person
mentioned in column 2 of an item in Part 3 of Schedule 3, the amount of the
charge for the year for all source licences held by that person for the year is
the amount mentioned in that item.
Note Division 5 of Part 4 of the ARPANS
Regulations makes provision in relation to the time for payment of the annual
charge, pro-rating and refunds.
