Regulation 6 amends regulations 10 and 12 of the 1994 Regulations. Regulation 10 is amended so that each waste regulation authority must enter details of any risk appraisal undertaken for a site to which a waste management licence relates in the public register which the authority maintains under section 64(1) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. The amendment to regulation 12 varies the descriptions of plant that are to be treated as being mobile plant for the purposes of Part 2 of the 1990 Act. The remainder of the Regulations concern activities which are exempt from the requirement for a waste management licence under the 1990 Act. Amendments are made to the conditions which apply to various exempt activities listed in Schedule 3 to the 1994 Regulations by regulations 10 to 17. A new exempt activity is inserted by regulation 18.More detailed notification requirements set out in regulation 9 apply to the exempt activities defined as notifiable exempt activities (see regulation 5). Regulation 3 enables the registration authority to charge for administering these notifications. Some changes are made which affect all exempt activities. By regulation 7 the Secretary of State is given the power to issue statutory guidance to registration authorities. Regulation 8 also clarifies the ability of the registration authorities to remove entries from the register in relation to activities which are not exempt, and increases the penalty for failure to register
