CARBON CREDITS (CARBON FARMING INITIATIVE) ACT 2011 - SECT 123C

    If:

  (a)   an Emissions Reduction Assurance Committee member:

  (i)   is an SES employee in the Department; or

  (ii)   holds or performs the duties of an Executive Level 2 position, or an equivalent position, in the Department; and

  (b)   the member advises the Committee that:

  (i)   if the Minister were to make a proposed methodology determination, the determination would not comply with the offsets integrity standard set out in paragraph   133(1)(c); or

  (ii)   if the Minister were to make a particular variation of a methodology determination, the varied determination would not comply with the offsets integrity standard set out in paragraph   133(1)(c);

then, in giving relevant advice to the Minister under subsection   123A(2), the Emissions Reduction Assurance Committee is to assume that the determination or varied determination, as the case may be, would not comply with that offsets integrity standard.

Note:   Paragraph   133(1)(c) is about ensuring that the method in a methodology determination relates to eligible carbon abatement.
