The Secretary of State may by regulations appoint a person to carry out functions with respect to obligations of relevant market participants under section 70.

The Secretary of State may exercise the power under subsection (1) so that more than one appointment has effect under that subsection at the same time.

An appointment may be made only with the consent of the person appointed (except where that person is the Secretary of State).

An appointment ceases to have effect if the Secretary of State by regulations revokes the appointment.

As soon as reasonably practicable after a person’s appointment under subsection (1) ceases to have effect, the Secretary of State must make one or more transfer schemes under section 86 to ensure the transfer of any rights and liabilities of that person that the Secretary of State considers appropriate.

A person appointed under subsection (1) is called a “hydrogen levy administrator”.
