(1) The duration of a greenhouse gas assessment permit is worked out using the table:
Duration of greenhouse gas assessment permits | ||
Item | This kind of permit... | remains in force... |
1 | an original greenhouse gas assessment permit (other than an original cross - boundary greenhouse gas assessment permit or an original consolidated work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permit) | for the period of 6 years beginning on: (a) the day on which the permit is granted; or (b) if a later day is specified in the permit as the day on which the permit is to come into force--that later day. |
1A | an original cross - boundary greenhouse gas assessment permit, where the grant of the permit resulted in: (a) the existing greenhouse gas assessment permit mentioned in section 307A ceasing to be in force before the time when it would have expired if the original cross - boundary greenhouse gas assessment permit had not been granted; or (b) the existing State/Territory greenhouse gas assessment title mentioned in section 307A ceasing to be in force before the time when it would have expired if the original cross - boundary greenhouse gas assessment permit had not been granted | for the period beginning on the day on which the permit is granted and ending at whichever is the later of the following times: (a) the time when the existing greenhouse gas assessment permit would have expired if it had not ceased to be in force; (b) the time when the existing State/Territory greenhouse gas assessment title would have expired if it had not ceased to be in force. |
1B | an original cross - boundary greenhouse gas assessment permit, where item 1A does not apply | for the period (not exceeding 12 months) specified in the permit. |
1C | an original consolidated work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permit, where: (a) both of the existing work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permits mentioned in section 302A were original greenhouse gas assessment permits; or (b) both of the existing work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permits mentioned in section 302A were granted by way of first renewal; or (c) both of the existing work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permits mentioned in section 302A were granted by way of second renewal; and the grant of the original consolidated work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permit resulted in either or both of the following: (d) one of the existing work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permits (the first precursor permit ) mentioned in section 302A ceasing to be in force before the time when it would have expired if the original consolidated work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permit had not been granted; (e) the other existing work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permit (the second precursor permit) mentioned in section 302A ceasing to be in force before the time when it would have expired if the original consolidated work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permit had not been granted | for the period beginning on the day on which the permit is granted and ending at whichever is the later of the following times: (a) the time when the first precursor permit would have expired if it had not ceased to be in force; (b) the time when the second precursor permit would have expired if it had not ceased to be in force.
|
1D | an original consolidated work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permit, where: (a) one of the existing work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permits (the first precursor permit ) mentioned in section 302A was an original greenhouse gas assessment permit; and (b) the other existing work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permit mentioned in section 302A was granted by way of first renewal or second renewal; and (c) the grant of the original consolidated work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permit resulted in the first precursor permit ceasing to be in force before the time when it would have expired if the original consolidated work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permit had not been granted | for the period: (a) beginning on the day on which the permit is granted; and (b) ending at the time when the first precursor permit would have expired if it had not ceased to be in force. |
1E | an original consolidated work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permit, where: (a) one of the existing work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permits (the first precursor permit ) mentioned in section 302A was granted by way of first renewal; and (b) the other existing work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permit mentioned in section 302A was granted by way of second renewal; and (c) the grant of the original consolidated work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permit resulted in the first precursor permit ceasing to be in force before the time when it would have expired if the original consolidated work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permit had not been granted | for the period: (a) beginning on the day on which the permit is granted; and (b) ending at the time when the first precursor permit would have expired if it had not ceased to be in force. |
1F | an original consolidated work - bid greenhouse gas assessment permit, where item 1C, 1D or 1E does not apply | for the period (not exceeding 12 months) specified in the permit. |
