Regulation 6 Outage preventing entry of specified information
In the event of an outage, the operator of a permitted facility must follow the steps in paragraph (2).
The steps are to—
unless the operator has received an outage notification, notify the Agency of the outage as soon as reasonably practicable;
make a written record of the specified information within the deadline specified in regulation 4(8);
within 7 days beginning with the day after the day the outage is resolved, ensure the specified information recorded in a written record under sub-paragraph (b) is entered into the digital waste tracking system in accordance with the specified steps.
The operator of a permitted facility—
may make the written record required under paragraph (2)(b) in electronic form if the operator is able to save the record in a manner that can be easily found and retrieved;
must, until such time as the step described in paragraph (2)(c) is completed—
retain the written record made under paragraph (2)(b); and
if requested to do so, make the written record available to the Agency as soon as reasonably practicable after a request is made.
In this regulation—
“outage” means circumstances caused by factors beyond the operator of the permitted facility’s control that prevent the entry of the specified information into the digital waste tracking system by the deadline specified in regulation 4(8);
“outage notification” means a communication informing users of the digital waste tracking system that the system is unavailable.
