any Section in Part 1 of Schedule 1 is carried out in an existing Part A installation, the operator of the installation may apply to SEPA to determine that the relevant period for the installation

sub-paragraph (5) shall be in writing (or in electronic form acceptable to SEPA) and shall –\n(a) identify the installation concerned;\n(b) list the activities falling within Part A of any Section in

it shall, if it agrees with the operator that the activity identified pursuant to sub-paragraph (6)(b) is the primary activity, serve notice of its determination on the operator, and the later period listed against that activity in sub-paragraph (2) shall be the relevant period for the installation.\n(8) Where SEPA does not agree with the operator as mentioned in sub-paragraph (7) it shall serve notice of its determination on the operator and the relevant period for the installation shall be the period determined by sub-paragraph (4).\n(9) SEPA shall serve notice of its determination of any application made under sub-paragraph (5) within 2 months of receiving the application.\n(10) Where there is more than one operator of an installation, an application under sub-paragraph (5) shall be
