ASSISTANT SECRETARY, ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION BRANCH,
DEPARTMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT
NOTICE UNDER SECTION 17 OF THE FUEL QUALITY STANDARDS ACT 2000 CONCERNING A DECISION TO VARY AN APPROVAL GRANTED UNDER SECTION 13 OF THAT ACT
I, Andrew McNee, Assistant Secretary, Environment Protection Branch, Department of the Environment, delegate of the Minister for the Environment, provide the following information concerning my decision made pursuant to section 17 of the Fuel Quality Standards Act 2000 to vary an approval granted under section 13 of the Act to add regulated persons to the approval.
On 26 February 2009 an approval was granted to the National Biofuels Group Pty Ltd (the approval). The approval varies the Fuel Standard (Automotive Diesel) Determination 2001 to permit the supply of diesel/biodiesel blends as specified in the approval. The National Biofuels Group Pty Ltd has since applied for a variation to the approval to add a regulated person.
Period of operation
The approval, as varied, comes into force on the date of signing and remains in force until 30 June 2014.
Additional regulated persons
The following regulated persons have been added to the approval:
National Biodiesel Distributors (Australia) Pty Limited ACN 167 655 138 | Level 4, 71 Walker Street | North Sydney NSW 2060 |
Summary of reasons for the approval
I grant the approval as provided for in section 15 of the Act for the following reasons:
- The volume of fuel to be supplied under the approval is unlikely to alter significantly by the addition of one regulated person, therefore no significant additional impact on the environment is expected.
- The addition of one regulated person to the approval is not expected to pose significant safety concerns.
