Explanatory note This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect. These regulations, which are deemed to have come into force on 1 January 2010 (except regulations 4, 5, 11, and 18, which come into force on 1 January 2011), amend the Climate Change (Station ary Energy and Industrial Processes) Regulations 2009. The amendments set out the requirements for the collection of in formation and the calculation of emissions under section 62 of the Climate Change Response Act 2002 in relation to importing sulphur hexafluoride, importing hydro fluorocarbons or per fluorocarbons, and manufacturing synthetic greenhouse gases. These regulations also amend the requirements for collecting infor mation and calculating emissions for importing, mining, and pur chasing coal and mining and purchasing natural gas. 29 http://www.legislation.govt.nz/pdflink.aspx?id=DLM2394206 http://www.legislation.govt.nz/pdflink.aspx?id=DLM2394206 http://www.legislation.govt.nz/pdflink.aspx?id=DLM1662492 Climate Change (Stationary Energy and Industrial Processes) Amendment Regulations 2010 2010/340 Issued under the authority of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989.
