  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations revoke and replace the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (Allocation of Allowances for Payment) Regulations 2012 [S.I. 2012/1386].\nThe Regulations set out that the Environment Agency will conduct allocations of carbon trading scheme allowances in the carbon trading scheme established under Part 3 of the Climate Change Act 2008. They set the timing of requests to be allocated allowances and govern the payment for and issue of allowances.\nThey set the price of allowances, the consequences of late or non-payment and the consequences of a transfer of excess allowances.\nThey provide for the Environment Agency to charge fees to cover the costs of allocating allowances.\nThese Regulations are covered by the full impact assessment produced in relation to the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme Order 2013, which contains an assessment of the effect that both these Regulations and that Order, taken together, will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector. That assessment is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum to the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme Order 2013 which is available alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk or from the Department for Energy and Climate Change, 3 Whitehall Place, London, SW1A 2AW.",
