Abstract

These Regulations, consisting of 70 sections divided into six Parts and completed by two Schedules, is under the Australian National Registry of Emissions Units Act 2011. Part 2 specifies the administrative and legal requirements for the Australian National Registry of Emissions Units. In particular, it establishes that a person may request the Regulator to open a Registry account in the person’s name. The person who makes the request: a) if the person is not an individual—must nominate an authorised representative; b) if the person is an individual—may nominate an authorised representative. The request must be in the approved form. A request to open a Registry account that is made by a person who is a proprietary or private company must include the name and address of any beneficial owner. However, subregulation (1) does not apply to a proprietary company if the company is: a) a publicly listed company in Australia, or a wholly owned subsidiary of such a company; or b) licensed and subject to the regulatory oversight of a Commonwealth statutory regulator in relation to its activities as a company.
