Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Article 3 of the Environmental Protection (Authorisation of Processes) (Determina– tion Periods) Order 1991 generally extends the period laid down in the Environmental Protection Act 1990 for enforcing authorities to determine applications under Part I of that Act for authorisations to carry on processes prescribed for local control.

This Order amends that article by specifying a period of nine months in respect of processes, other than small waste oil burners, to which the transitional provisions in paragraphs 5 to 7 of Schedule 6 to the Environmental Protection (Prescribed Processes and Substances Etc.) (Amendment) Regulations 1994 (as substituted by the Environ– mental Protection (Prescribed Processes and Substances Etc.) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1994) apply. These are processes which, by virtue of regulation 4 of those Regulations, become processes prescribed for local control on 1st December 1994.

(2)

S.I. 1991/513.

(3)

S.I. 1994/1271; a new Schedule 6 was substituted by S.I. 1994/1329.
