design notification for a new production facility or a new GHG facility.
Note: See paragraph 2.26(1)(e) which requires a design notification to be submitted to NOPSEMA in order for NOPSEMA to accept a safety case for a new production facility or a new GHG facility.
 (2) The design notification must comply with the requirements specified in section 2.4H.

2.4H  Requirements of design notification
  For the purposes of subsection 2.4G(2), the design notification for a new production facility or a new GHG facility (the new facility) must:
 (a) be submitted to NOPSEMA:
 (i) in sufficient time to allow for any comments made by NOPSEMA to be taken into account in the final design decision; and
 (ii) before any construction or alteration work is commenced; and
 (b) be in writing; and
 (c) include the following:
 (i) the name of the person submitting the design notification;
 (ii) the address in Australia of that person;
 (iii) the contact details of that person; and
 (d) include a description of the following:
 (i) the design process (from the initial concept to the submitted design) for the new facility;
 (ii) the design and performance standards used to guide the design process; and
 (e) include a description of the chosen design for the new facility, including:
 (i) diagrams of the design; and
 (ii) a summary of other design options that were considered; and
 (iii) for a vessel or structure that is to be repurposed—the justification of the suitability for repurposing the vessel or structure; and
 (iv) the criteria used to select the design in the design notification and the process by which the selection was made; and
 (f) include a description of how the design in the design notification for the new facility ensures that risks associated with hazards that have the potential to cause a major accident event are reduced to a level that is as low as reasonably practicable; and
 (g) include information explaining the following:
 (i) how the new facility will be able to withstand such forces acting upon it as are reasonably foreseeable throughout its entire lifecycle, including during the post closure period until fully decommissioned;
 (ii) how the layout and configuration of the new facility, including the layout and configuration of its plant, will not adversely impact upon its safety and integrity;
 (iii) how the fabrication, transportation, construction, commissioning, operation, modification, maintenance and repair of the new facility will proceed without adversely impacting upon its safety and integrity;
 (iv) how the new facility will be able to be decommissioned and, if necessary, dismantled in such a way that it will, as far as is reasonably practicable, have sufficient integrity to enable decommissioning to be carried out safely;
 (v) how, in the event of
