Regulation 3(6) provides that if a determination cannot be made under paragraphs (1) to (4) of that regulation, the waste disposal authority’s net savings of expenditure shall be determined by reference to the figures specified in the Schedule to the Regulations, which shall be increased by 3% on an annual basis.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument, as it has no impact on the costs of business.
