Ozone Protection and Synthetic
Greenhouse Gas Management (Non-grandfathered Quota—2024-2025) Determination
2023 [F2023L00774]
What it does:
|
Other Details:
|
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are a type of synthetic
greenhouse gas, mostly used in refrigeration and air conditioning equipment.
HFCs generally have a high global warming potential, meaning they have a
greater ability to trap heat in the atmosphere compared to a similar mass of
carbon dioxide.
Part IVA of the Ozone Protection
and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Act 1989 and Part 4A of the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas
Management Regulations 1995 provide for the phase-down of HFCs through a reducing
import quota system over 18 years. From 1 January 2018, a person must have
been allocated a HFC quota to be able to import bulk HFC gas into Australia.
HFC quota for a 2 year quota allocation period is divided
between a ‘grandfathered’ percentage (95% for 2024 and 2025) and a
‘non-grandfathered’ percentage (5% for 2024 and 2025). The grandfathered
percentage can only be allocated to established market participants. The non‑grandfathered
percentage is not subject to the same limitation.
The instrument:
-
sets out requirements for a person to be entitled to an amount
of non-grandfathered quota and
-
specifies the method for working out the amount of
non-grandfathered quota to which a person is entitled for each of the years
in the third HFC quota allocation period (2024 and 2025).

Statement for the instrument for further information.

Safety, Rehabilitation and
Compensation (Weekly Interest on the Lump Sum) Instrument 2023 [F2023L00648]
What it does:
|
Other Details:
|
The instrument repeals and replaces the Safety,
Rehabilitation and Compensation (Weekly Interest on the Lump Sum) Instrument
2022.
The Safety,
Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 (SRC
Act) establishes the Commonwealth workers’ compensation and
rehabilitation scheme for employees of the Commonwealth, Commonwealth
authorities and licensed corporations.
If an employee who is entitled to weekly incapacity
payments under the SRC Act receives a lump sum superannuation benefit
as a result of the employee’s retirement, the amount of weekly compensation
payable to the employee is reduced by an amount that is in part derived
from a defined ‘weekly interest on the lump sum’ amount. This amount is
calculated by multiplying the value of the lump sum benefit by the interest
rate specified by the Minister and dividing the result by 52. The instrument
specifies the interest rate.

Korea) Continuing Effect Declaration 2020. Under subregulation 9(1) of the
Autonomous
Sanctions Regulations 2011, the designation that is declared to continue
to have effect, ceases to have effect three years after the making of the
most recent declaration, unless the Minister declares the designation is to
continue.
Autonomous sanctions are measures not involving the use of
armed force which are imposed in response to situations of international
concern, including threats to regional peace and stability posed by the DPRK
through the development of nuclear weapons, other weapons of mass destruction
and ballistic missiles.
The Autonomous Sanctions
Regulations 2011 make provision for, among other things, the designation
of vessels or classes of vessels as ‘sanctioned vessels’. The Minister for
Foreign Affairs may issue a direction requiring a sanctioned vessel to leave
Australia (including by a particular route), or to not enter a particular
port or place, or any port or place, in Australia.
Under the 2017 Designation, the class of vessels
designated as sanctioned vessels is essentially any vessel that is flagged or
registered in the DPRK as well as vessels owned, operated or controlled by
DPRK persons or entities.

Statement for the instrument for further information.

Aged Care (Leave from Residential

What it does:
|
Other Details:
|
Amends the Aged Care (Leave
from Residential Care Services) (Situation of Emergency—Human Coronavirus
with Pandemic Potential) Determination 2020 to provide for the situation
of emergency to be extended and enable emergency leave to be provided to residential
aged care recipients across Australia until 31 December 2023.
Paragraph 42-2(3B)(c) of the Aged Care Act
1997 enables approved providers to remain eligible for
residential care subsidy in circumstances where a permanent residential care
recipient takes leave during a declared situation of emergency.
If a permanent residential care recipient is absent from a
residential care service and not on leave in accordance with the provisions
in section 42-2 of the Act, the approved provider may not be eligible for
residential care subsidy in respect of that care recipient. It is then open
for an approved provider to charge the care recipient a fee to reserve their
place in the service.
The continued availability of emergency leave ensures
that approved providers cannot elect to charge permanent residential
care recipients a fee during a declared emergency in order
to reserve their place in a residential care service. Whilst
not all permanent residential care recipients will need to use this leave, it
ensures they and their families are supported to make decisions about
personal health and safety during a situation of emergency. See the Explanatory
Statement for the instrument for further information.

National Health (Price and Special
Patient Contribution) Amendment Determination 2023 (No. 4) [F2023L00657]
What it does:
|
Other Details:
|
This instrument amends the National Health
(Price and Special Patient Contribution) Determination 2022 by:
-
increasing existing brand premiums for certain products
-
introducing a brand premium for oxycodone and
-
removing three brands of four pharmaceutical items that have
been delisted from the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
The purpose of the determination is to enable patients for
whom the base-priced brands (the ones without a special patient contribution)
are not suitable, to obtain the higher priced brand (the one with the special
patient contribution) without the need to pay the higher price. In such cases
the Commonwealth pays the special patient contribution.

What it does:

Amends the Therapeutic Goods
(Medical Devices) Regulations 2002 and the Therapeutic Goods
Regulations 1990 to support the introduction of a new low regulatory
pathway for including export only biologicals in the Australian Register of
Therapeutic Goods, and reduce regulatory burden for sponsors of clinical
trials.
The introduction of this new streamlined marking approval
pathway for export only biologicals is designed to ensure consistency for all
export only therapeutic goods (as export only categories already existed
under the Act and related regulations for medicines and medical devices), and
to provide an incentive for investment and innovation in the development of
biologicals for export from Australia, including advanced treatments for
serious diseases such as cancer.

What it does:

Other Details:
|
Amends the Aviation Transport
Security Regulations 2005 to improve security outcomes in reporting
requirements.
The instrument requires relevant persons to provide a unique
identifier when clearing cargo and a statement that the cargo is consolidated
if the cargo is consolidated. Including a unique identifier in the security
declaration is a long-standing industry practice formalised by the instrument.
The unique identifier will help track and trace cleared air cargo through the
supply chain in the event that the cargo needs to be found, such as if
intelligence indicates that certain cargo represents a risk of unlawful
interference with aviation. The instrument also simplifies reporting
requirements for air cargo examining entities.

The instrument repeals and remakes CASA OAR 168/22 –
Declarations and Directions in relation to Prohibited, Restricted and Danger
Areas etc. – Permanent Instrument 2022 (No. 1) to designate areas of
Australian territory to be restricted areas or danger areas. These are
typically volumes of airspace where, as a result of other flights or
activities in the airspace, a danger to the flight of an aircraft in the area
exists (or may exist) and the flight is, therefore, subject to access
conditions or ‘take precautions’ recommendations.
The instrument also directs that areas outside Australian
territory in Australian-administered airspace become notional restricted or
danger areas, with similar access conditions or recommendations. However, in
this case, the airspace is over the high seas, and, therefore, subject to
international freedom of navigation rights. Hence, the conditional access rules
do not apply to foreign registered aircraft.

Subsection 92(1) of the Private Health Insurance (Prudential Supervision)
Act 2015 grants the Australian Prudential
Regulation Authority (APRA) the power to determine prudential standards to be
complied with by private health insurers.
This instrument
revokes Health Insurance (prudential standard) determination
No. 2 of 2015 - HPS 100 - Solvency Standard. When APRA assumed prudential responsibility for
private health insurers, the legislative framework was amended to remove a
specific requirement for a solvency standard for the private health insurance
industry,
Private health
insurers are required to comply with requirements under Prudential
Standard CPS 220 Risk Management which aim to provide policy
holder protection against liquidity risks. In addition, the new capital
requirements for quality of the capital base are expected to act as a
baseline on the quality and liquidity of assets in the private health
insurance industry. As a result, APRA has removed HPS 100 and its qualitative
requirements.

Statement for the instrument for further information.

The instrument repeals and replaces Taxation
Administration Withholding Schedules 2022 to provide certainty to payers
about withholding correct amounts of tax on behalf of their payees, which

required to withhold and pay amounts of income earned by payees, at regular
intervals, as it is earned during the year. The system for collecting these
amounts is called the PAYG withholding system.
The instrument sets out the amounts, formulas and
procedures to be used for calculating the amount required to be withheld by
entities from withholding payments. It facilitates the collection of income
tax, Medicare levy, Higher Education Loan Program, Student Start-up Loans,
Trade Support Loans, VET Student Loans and Financial Supplement repayments.

Veterans’
Affairs
Amendment Statement of Principles
concerning restless legs syndrome (Balance of Probabilities) (No. 61 of 2023) [F2023L00558]
Veterans’ Entitlements (DFISA–like
Payment) Repeal Regulations 2023 [F2023L00647]
What it does:
|
Other Details:
|
The instrument repeals the Veterans’
Entitlements (DFISA–like Payment) Regulation 2015.
The Defence Force Income Support Allowance (DFISA) was
introduced in 2004 through amendments to the Veterans’
Entitlements Act 1986 (VEA). It sought to address the
longstanding inequity caused by payments of disability pension under the VEA
being counted as income in assessing the amount of income support payable
under the Social
Security Act 1991 (SSA). DFISA was a payment for veterans
payable on the difference between the income support a person received under
the SSA and the income support the person would have received if
‘adjusted disability pension’ had been excluded income for the purposes of
the SSA. The term ‘adjusted disability pension’ included any
disability pension payable under the VEA and permanent impairment
payments under the Military
Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004 (MRCA).
After the Veterans’
Affairs Legislation Amendment (Exempting Disability Payments from Income
Testing and Other Measures) Act 2021 commenced, the ‘adjusted
disability pension’ was exempt from the income test under the SSA.
This meant that the DFISA was effectively ended on 1 January 2022. The
provisions for determining the amount of DFISA payable were repealed from the
VEA. However, the repeal did not automatically revoke the 2015
regulations, which are repealed by this instrument. The instrument also
amends the Family
Law Regulations 1984 to remove the only other remaining reference to
DFISA on the statute books.

Statement for the instrument for further information.

Note:
a notice of a motion to disallow a legislative instrument or a provision of a
legislative instrument may be given in a House of the Parliament within 15
sitting days of that House after a copy of the instrument was laid before
that House. If, within 15 sitting days of that House after the giving of that
notice, the House passes a resolution, in pursuance of the motion, disallowing
the instrument or provision, then the instrument or provision so disallowed
then ceases to have effect (Legislation Act 2003, section 42).
Disallowable Instruments Lists for the House and the Senate indicate the number of sitting days remaining in which a notice
to disallow the instrument may be moved.
The
Disallowance Alert 2023 lists all instruments subject to a notice
of motion for disallowance. The progress and eventual outcome of any such
