Hazardous Waste (Regulation of Exports and Imports) Regulations 1996.

These Regulations implement specific provisions of the Hazardous Waste (Regulation of Exports and Imports) Act 1989. Regulations 4 specifies waste mentioned in the Basel Convention that is not considered “household waste”. For subsection 15A (3) of the Act, the Minister must give the competent authority of the foreign country the information mentioned in Annex VA to the Basel Convention (reg. 5). Regulation 5A specifies particulars of export of hazardous waste — metal alkyl compounds in hydrocarbons - for purposes of section 18A of the Act. The Minister may approve, in writing, a facility for the purpose of carrying out recovery operations on hazardous waste imported under Basel import permits granted under the Act (reg. 7). Application may be made under the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1974 to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal for review of a decision of the Minister refusing to approve a facility under regulation 7.
