About this document
This form is used to request that the Clean Energy Regulator not set out the project area of an eligible offsets project (the ‘project’) in the Emissions Reduction Fund Register.
The Clean Energy Regulator will use information provided on this form and any supporting documentation in determining whether the project area should not be set out in that register in accordance with section 169 of the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011. The project area may not be set out in the Emissions Reduction Fund Register only if setting out the project area could reasonably be expected to substantially prejudice the commercial interest of a scheme participant (the ‘participant’) or another person. That prejudice must outweigh the public interest in having the project area published. This form can be submitted to the Clean Energy Regulator at any time, including at the same time as an application for registration of a project. Decisions based on the information provided herein will not be made until after the project has been declared a registered project.
