3. There are 3 Acts that set up the Scheme — the National Residue Survey (Customs) Levy Act 1998 (the NRS Customs Levy Act), the National Residue Survey (Excise) Levy Act 1998 (the NRS Excise Levy Act) and the National Residue Survey Administration Act 1992. The first 2 Acts impose the levies, and the third sets up the Reserve into which the levies are paid and provides for the distribution of money from the Reserve.  The Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection Act 1991 (the Collection Act) is also relevant — see below.
