Call for the Provision of Data (Manufacturing of Carbon Steel from Cold Ferrous Feed) Notice 2010

Pursuant to section 161D of the Climate Change Response Act 2002, I, Hon Nick Smith, Minister for Climate Change Issues, give the following notice requiring information on the Manufacturing of Carbon Steel from Cold Ferrous Feed to determine the emissions-intensity of this activity and the allocative baseline or baselines of the products of the activity.

Notice

1. Title and commencement—(1) This notice may be cited as the Call for the Provision of Data (Manufacturing of Carbon Steel from Cold Ferrous Feed) Notice 2010.

(2) This notice takes effect from and including 31 March 2010.

2. Interpretation—(1) Unless the context otherwise requires:

Act means the Climate Change Response Act 2002.

Activity outputs are the outputs used for the calculation of the revenue of the activity and mean the outputs specified in clause 2(2)(a), (b) and (c).

Bases of preparation means the form available at www.climatechange.govt.nz/industrialallocation

Data collection rules means the methodologies for data collection specified in Schedule 1 of this notice.

Declaration means the statement of declaration located at www.climatechange.govt.nz/industrialallocation

Excluded emissions means the emissions specified in Schedule 3 of this notice.

Financial years means the financial years beginning on 1 July and ending on 30 June for each of the periods 2006/2007, 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 during which the person carried out the activity.

Included emissions means the emissions specified in Schedule 2 of this notice from the sources listed in Emissions Rule 1 of Schedule 1.

Product (basis of allocation) means the:

(a) tonnes of saleable cast carbon steel products whether or not it is subsequently hot-rolled (where carbon steel means a material which contains by mass more iron (Fe) than any other single element and has a carbon (C) content less than 2 per cent);

(b) tonnes of saleable long products of hot-rolled carbon steel, (where long products of hot-rolled carbon steel means hot-rolled steel products in coils or straight lengths produced in rod, bar and structural/section mills, and are characterised by having one of a variety of cross-sectional shapes (such as I, T, Y, U, V, H, C, L, square, rectangular, round, flat, hexagonal, angle, channel, structural beam profile or rail profile) and their surface finish may be smooth or may contain ribs, grooves, indentations or other deformations produced by the hot-rolling process);

(c) tonnes of saleable flat products of hot-rolled carbon steel, (where flat products of hot-rolled carbon steel means hot-rolled steel products produced in hot strip and plate mills, are flat in profile such as plate and hot-rolled coil, and typically are greater than 600 mm in width and less than 150 mm in thickness),

which result from carrying out the activity as described.

Specified Template means the table template located at www.climatechange.govt.nz/industrialallocation

(2) Activity means the physical and chemical transformation of cold ferrous feed, such as ferrous scrap and pig iron, by heating and melting (such as where electric power is used as the predominant energy source) into liquid steel, cast carbon steel products and saleable hot-rolled carbon steel products, which commence hot-rolling at over 800°C, where carbon steel is defined as a material which contains by mass more iron (Fe) than any other single element, and has a carbon (C) content less than 2 per cent, where the outputs are:

(a) saleable cast carbon steel products which are not hot rolled
