OCR to permit charging for certain regulatory services where there is not currently the power to charge, this document contains the BEIS response and next steps that BEIS will be taking.


------------------------- ORIGINAL CONSULTATION SUMMARY The government is seeking the views of the oil and gas industry and other interested stakeholders, particularly those upon whom the


new charges would apply, namely installation and well operators, on its proposal to amend OPPC and OCR to permit charging for certain regulatory services where there is not currently the


power to charge. This consultation ran from 11:30AM ON 6 JULY 2016 TO 5PM ON 6 SEPTEMBER 2016 CONSULTATION DESCRIPTION BEIS has identified that it has not been recovering the cost of certain


services provided to industry as part of carrying out its statutory regulatory functions under the Offshore Petroleum Activities (Oil Pollution Prevention And Control) Regulations 2005 (as


amended) – “OPPC” – and the Offshore Chemicals Regulations 2002 (as amended) – “OCR”. Under the relevant primary legislation for these Regulations, the Pollution Prevention and Control Act


1999, the Secretary of State has the power to make regulations which authorise the Secretary of State to make charging schemes. Before making such regulations, the Secretary of State must


engage in consultation. If, following the consultation, it is decided to proceed with amending these Regulations, their corresponding charging schemes would also be amended. DOCUMENTS
