11  Deciding whether to grant a waste tyres export licence—regulated tyre derived fuel
 (1) For the purposes of paragraph 34(2)(f) of the Act, this section prescribes other matters to which the Minister must have regard in deciding whether to grant a waste tyres export licence in relation to regulated tyre derived fuel.
 (2) The matters are the following:
 (a) the intended use of the tyre derived fuel in the place to which the fuel is intended to be exported;
 (b) whether the waste tyre specification nominated for the fuel in the application is appropriate for the intended use of the fuel in the place to which the fuel is intended to be exported;
 (c) if the nominated specification is not a listed waste tyre specification:
 (i) any calorific value requirements in the specification; and
 (ii) the thresholds for contaminants in the specification; and
 (iii) any packaging requirements in the specification; and
 (iv) any particle size or bulk density requirements in the specification, and whether processing the tyre derived fuel in accordance with the specification will result in pieces with dimensions of not more than 150 millimetres; and
 (v) the threshold for moisture in the specification;
 (vi) any testing or sampling requirements in the specification;
 (d) whether the applicant has applied for, is the holder of, or has been refused, an export permit relating to tyre derived fuel (as hazardous waste);
 (e) whether the applicant has been the holder of an export licence, relating to any regulated waste material, that has been revoked under Division 2 of Part 8 of Chapter 2 of the Act (revocation by Minister);
 (f) whether the Minister is reasonably satisfied that a condition of an export permit held at any time by the applicant in relation to any hazardous waste has been, or is being, contravened.
Note: Other matters to which the Minister must have regard are specified in paragraphs 34(2)(a) to (e) of the Act. The Minister may also have regard to any other matter that the Minister considers relevant (see subsection 34(3) of the Act).
