Paragraph 14

(1)

A reference in these Regulations to payment of a prescribed fee is, in so far as a fee is prescribed for an equivalent matter in the 2012 Scheme, to be read as a reference to payment of the fee prescribed in the 2012 Scheme.

(2)

Sub-paragraph (1) does not apply after the 2012 Scheme is revoked.

(3)

Where sub-paragraph (1) does not apply (whether by virtue of sub-paragraph (2) or otherwise), and the 2012 Scheme—

(a)

provides for the payment of a fee for an equivalent matter, a reference in the 2012 Scheme to the 2000 Regulations (or any part) is to be read as a reference to these Regulations (or any part), or

(b)

does not provide for payment of such a fee, the fee to be charged by SEPA for any matter in or under these Regulations is the fee applicable to a Part A installation.

(4)

For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)(b), SEPA must apply—

(a)

an application charge unit of 1, and

a subsistence charge unit of 3.
