APPENDIX 2: Summary of Assessment of Regulatory Options Assessment criteria 1. Provides a nationally consistent approach to fuel quality standards. 2. Is consistent with preceding Government policy decisions on this matter 3. Ensures that appropriate fuel is available in line with the timetable for the implementatio n of new ADRs. 5. Does not restrict competition and trade. Option 1. Business as Usual State specific legislation creating competition problems and trade barriers. Some States or Territories without any standards. Inconsistent with preceding Government policy decisions. Would not meet timetable under BAU. Not all States would regulate. Appropriate fuel not produced by all refineries. Option 2: Industry agreements Tend to favour refinery capabilities within a jurisdiction. Not enforceable. Would not meet objective in a consistent way. Inconsistent with preceding Government policy decisions. Favours refinery capabilities within a jurisdiction. Investment necessary would not occur in time. State specific Industry legislation agreements with currently being specific states implemented will could cause restrict competition competition and problems. trade. Option 3: State <strong>Regulation</strong> <strong>Regulation</strong>s differ in each State creating competition problems and trade barriers. Some states will not regulate. Inconsistent with preceding Government policy decisions. Not all jurisdictions would introduce regulations in time. State specific legislation favours local refining industry capabilities. Timeframe would not be met. State specific legislation will restrict competition and create trade barriers. Option 4: NEPM Implementation through State legislation. Possible for State specific factors to be incorporated. States can pull out of process. Would not achieve consistency with preceding Government policy decision on the fuel quality, NEPM development process too slow. Timetable would not be met. May assist in achieving a national approach, however, conditions relating to state legislation could create barriers. Option 7: Commonwealth legislation Would apply uniformly across the jurisdictions and provide national consistency. Commonwealth proposal is consistent (and driven) by preceding Government policy decisions. Proposed timetable for introduction of standards will ensure appropriate fuel is available for new ADRs - incorporated in objectives. Will ensure uniform national standards and avoid competition problems - overrides state regulations.
