6  Requirements for UR species
 (1) This clause sets the requirements for paragraph 2(d) and subparagraph 3(c)(iii) of this Schedule.
 (2) For subparagraph 3(c)(iii), if a rotation of a UR species has been completed or is underway, one of the following requirements must be met:
 (a) spatially explicit data demonstrates that, within the previous 10 years, at least one rotation of a plantation forest has been completed on the land using the same species and that rotation was a short rotation; or
 (b) spatially explicit data demonstrates that:
 (i) the same species has been harvested from a plantation forest within 100km of the land within the previous 10 years; and
 (ii) the rotation for that plantation forest was a short rotation; or
 (c) a qualified independent person certifies in a statement that the person is of the opinion that growing a long rotation of that species is not commercially viable in the baseline scenario.
 (3) For paragraph 2(d), if the project proponent proposes to utilise a UR species in a following rotation, one of the following requirements must be met:
 (a) spatially explicit data demonstrates that:
 (i) the same species has been harvested from a plantation forest within 100km of the land within the previous 10 years; and
 (ii) the rotation for that plantation forest was a long rotation; or
