# The Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging and Packaging Waste) Regulations 2024, Paragraph 3: Producers: amendment of reports submitted under the 2023 Data Regulations


(1) This sub-paragraph applies where—
(a) a producer has submitted a report to the appropriate agency under the 2023 Data Regulations; and
(b) the producer becomes aware that the report was wrong or inaccurate.
(2) Where sub-paragraph (1) applies, the producer must—
(a) submit an amended report to the appropriate agency containing the correct information; and
(b) pay the appropriate agency the charge in paragraph 2(3) of Schedule 1.
(3) This sub-paragraph applies where, before this paragraph came into force, a large producer (“LP”)—
(a) reported information to the appropriate agency for the 6-month period ending on 30th June 2024 or 31st December 2024 (“the relevant period”) under—
(i) regulation 17 of the Packaging Waste (Data Reporting) (England) Regulations 2023, the Packaging Waste (Data Collection and Reporting) (Wales) Regulations 2023 or the Packaging Waste (Data Reporting) (Scotland) Regulations 2023; or
(ii) regulation 18 of the Packaging Waste (Data Reporting) (No. 2) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2023; and
(b) in that report, included non-consumer shipment packaging in the amount of household packaging in a packaging category, or in the amount of shipment packaging in a packaging category, which LP reported that it supplied in the relevant period.
(4) Where sub-paragraph (3) applies, LP may—
(a) submit an amended report to the appropriate agency for the relevant period; and
(b) in that amended report, treat any non-consumer shipment packaging which LP supplied during the relevant period as if it were secondary packaging or tertiary packaging, for the purposes of reporting how much primary, secondary, tertiary and shipment packaging in each packaging category, and how much household packaging in each packaging category, LP supplied in the relevant period.
(5) If LP elects to submit an amended report under sub-paragraph (4), the report must be—
(a) made in such form and manner as the appropriate agency specifies;
(b) submitted to the appropriate agency on or before 31st December 2025; and
(c) verified by the signature of an approved person of LP.
(6) No charge is payable for resubmitting a report, if the report is only amended in accordance with sub-paragraph (4).
(7) Where, under the 2023 Data Regulations, a scheme operator has reported information to the appropriate agency in relation to a producer, this paragraph applies to the scheme operator as it does to a producer with the modifications that—
(a) the charge payable by the scheme operator for submitting an amended report under sub-paragraph (2) is the charge in paragraph 3(3) of Schedule 1; and
(b) an amended report under paragraph (4) must be verified by the signature of an approved person of the scheme operator.
(8) In this paragraph, “non-consumer shipment packaging” has the same meaning as in paragraph 2(3).
