This section applies if—
a person holds an environmental authority for regulated waste transport; and
the activity (the relevant activity) carried out under the authority is the transporting of regulated waste, other than end-of-life tyres; and
the AES for the relevant activity increases (the AES increase) because the number of registered vehicles for the relevant activity increases; and
the annual fee for the authority, worked out immediately after the AES increase, is higher than the annual fee for the authority worked out on the relevant day for the authority.
Note—
See schedule 2, section 57.
The administering authority may, by written notice, require the person to pay a supplementary annual fee worked out using the following formula—where—
S is the amount of the supplementary annual fee.

The person must pay the supplementary annual fee within 20 business days after the date of the notice.
If the person does not pay the supplementary annual fee in full within the 20 business days, the administering authority may recover any unpaid amount of the supplementary annual fee as a debt owing to the authority.
In this section—
registered vehicle, for the relevant activity, means a vehicle that is registered with the department as a vehicle used to carry out the activity.
