22.—[F2(1) For the purposes of section 128(9) of the 2004 Act, the “transport fuel suppliers of a specified description” are any transport fuel supplier who, in relation to an obligation period in respect of which the Administrator has received the sums referred to in section 128(7)—
(a)is an obligated supplier, or a non-obligated supplier for whom an account is maintained by the Administrator pursuant to article 7(3)(a); and
(b)held one or more RTF certificates in an RTF account at the time they were notified to the Administrator in accordance with article 21(3) or surrendered under paragraph (2)(a) as the case may be.]
(2) Subject to paragraph (5), the system of allocation of the sums referred to in section 128(6) is as follows—
(a)each transport fuel supplier referred to in paragraph (1) must notify the Administrator of the number of RTF certificates held in the supplier's RTF account which the supplier surrenders to the Administrator in relation to the obligation period in question;
(b)those notifications must be given to the Administrator by the [F310th January] (or the next working day after [F310th January], if [F310th January] is not a working day) immediately following the obligation period in question;
(c)where a supplier fails to notify the Administrator by that date of the number of RTF certificates to be surrendered, the Administrator must deem the number to be nil;
(d)the Administrator must calculate the total sums received by the Administrator pursuant to article 21(6) and (9) by the [F410th February] (or the next working day after [F410th February], if [F410th February] is not a working day) (“the buy-out fund”);
(e)the Administrator may also include in the buy-out fund any sum received by the Administrator pursuant to article 21(6) and (9) after the [F510th February] (or after the next working day after [F510th February], if [F510th February] is not a working day) (“late sum received”);
(f)the Administrator must allocate the buy-out fund in equal shares between each RTF certificate which is counted under article 21(3) or surrendered under sub-paragraph (a), and
(g)the Administrator must make the payments, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date referred to in sub-paragraph (e), to the suppliers who held those RTF certificates [F6at the time they were notified to the Administrator in accordance with article 21(3) or surrendered under sub-paragraph (a) as the case may be].
(3) In the case of any late sum received which the Administrator does not include in the buy-out fund pursuant to paragraph (2)(e) in relation to the obligation period in question (“the principal obligation period”), the Administrator must—
(a)allocate the sums in equal shares between each RTF certificate which is counted under article 21(3) or surrendered under paragraph (2)(a), and
(b)when making payments in relation to a subsequent obligation period, make the payments to the suppliers who held those RTF certificates [F7at the time they were notified to the Administrator in accordance with article 21(3) or surrendered under paragraph (2)(a) as the case may be in relation to the principal obligation period].
(4) For the purposes of paragraphs (2) and (3), a supplier “surrenders” an RTF certificate where the supplier—
(a)does not need the certificate to count towards the discharge of the supplier's renewable transport fuel obligation (if any) for the obligation period in question;
(b)notifies the Administrator that the supplier renounces any further benefit from holding the certificate, and
(c)claims a share of the buy-out fund for the obligation period in question,
and the RTF certificate is debited from the supplier's RTF account accordingly.
(5) In the circumstances set out in paragraph (6), the Administrator must make such provision as is fair and reasonable with regard to—
(a)dealing with any sum paid by the supplier under article 21,
(b)allocating shares and making payments under this article, and
(c)any other matter requiring to be dealt with pending and following the final disposal of the court proceedings.
(6) The circumstances referred to are where—
(a)an RTF certificate held by a supplier is revoked,
(b)by way of court proceedings the supplier challenges the decision to revoke, and
(c)the court proceedings have not been finally disposed of by the [F815th November] immediately following the obligation period in question.]
