Regulation 8 Fees

The Environment Agency may require the payment by an account holder who requests the allocation of allowances of a fee of an amount determined by reference to the costs of allocating the allowances.

Where the Environment Agency requires the payment of such a fee in relation to an allocation, the Environment Agency must, prior to the allocation, give notice of the amount of the fee to the account holder who has requested the allocation of allowances.

Where an account holder has not paid, in full, a fee notified under this regulation, any outstanding amount is recoverable as a civil debt by the Environment Agency.
