Revisions to a producer’s application for approval of a collection system where it is anticipated the number of end-of-life vehicles will change in a subsequent year
14.—(1) Where a producer has submitted an application for approval of his system for the collection of vehicles under regulation 10, and he anticipates in respect of a subsequent year that the capacity of the system for collection will be insufficient for the number of end-of-life vehicles for which he will be responsible, he shall submit a revised application for approval of the system for collection to the Secretary of State.
(2) Where a producer has submitted an application for approval of his system for the collection of vehicles under regulation 10, and the Secretary of State has reason to believe that the capacity of his system for collection is insufficient for the number of end-of-life vehicles for which he will be responsible and that producer has not submitted a revised application under paragraph (1), she shall notify the producer accordingly.
(3) Where the circumstances in either paragraph (1) or (2) apply, a producer shall submit a revised application for approval of the system for the collection of vehicles to the Secretary of State in writing at least three months before the beginning of the year in which the revised system is intended to come into operation.
(4) The Secretary of State shall grant approval of a revised application for approval of the system for the collection of vehicles within 28 days of receipt of the application where she is satisfied that the requirements of regulation 12 have been met.
(5) Where a producer has submitted an application for approval of his system for the collection of vehicles under regulation 10, and he anticipates in respect of a subsequent year that the capacity of that system will exceed the number of end-of-life vehicles for which he will be responsible, he may submit a revised application for approval of that system to the Secretary of State, provided that the revised application shall be submitted not less than three months before the start of the year in which the revised system is intended to operate.
