(2) Section 38ZN(5)— omit. 4 Replacement of s 38ZO (Permitted Reid vapour pressure—after 14 November 2002) Sections 38ZN and 38ZO— omit, insert— ‘38ZO Permitted Reid vapour pressure—after 15 November 2002 ‘ (1) This section applies to a person who manufactures or imports petrol in a summer period starting on or after 15 November 2002. ‘ (2) The person must not distribute the petrol in the low volatility zone in the summer period if the Reid vapour pressure of the petrol is more than— (a) for petrol with an ethanol content of more than 9 but not more than 10% by volume—76 kPa; or (b) for other petrol—69 kPa. Maximum penalty—165 penalty units.

s5 3 s5 Environmental Protection Amendment Regulation No. 291, 2002 (No. 2) 2002 ‘ (3) The person must ensure the volumetric monthly average Reid vapour pressure of the petrol distributed by the person in the low volatility zone in the summer period is no more than— (a) for petrol with an ethanol content of more than 9 but not more than 10% by volume—74 kPa; or (b) for other petrol—67 kPa. Maximum penalty—165 penalty units. ‘ (4) For working out the volumetric monthly average Reid vapour pressure of petrol mentioned in subsection (3)— (a) for petrol with an ethanol content of more than 9 but not more than 10% by volume—petrol with a Reid vapour pressure of less than 72 kPa is taken to have a Reid vapour pressure of 72 kPa; or (b) for other petrol—petrol with a Reid vapour pressure of less than 65 kPa is taken to have a Reid vapour pressure of 65 kPa.’. 5 Replacement of s 38ZU (Records) Section 38ZU— omit, insert— ‘38ZU Record keeping requirements ‘ (1) A person who manufactures or imports petrol and distributes it must keep the following information— (a) the volume of petrol distributed; (b) the ethanol, ETBE, MTBE, TAME, benzene and lead content of petrol distributed; (c) the Reid vapour pressure, and the volumetric monthly average Reid vapour pressure, of both of the following— (i) petrol with an ethanol content of more than 9 but not more than 10% by volume distributed in the low volatility zone in each summer period; (ii) other petrol distributed in the low volatility zone in each summer period. Maximum penalty—50 penalty units.

s5 4 s5 Environmental Protection Amendment Regulation No. 291, 2002 (No. 2) 2002 ‘ (2) A person who manufactures or imports diesel and distributes it must keep information about the sulfur content of the diesel distributed.
