Misdescribed amendments A misdescribed amendment is an amendment that does not accurately describe the amendment to be made. If, despite the misdescription, the amendment can be given effect as intended, the amendment is incorporated into the compiled law and the abbreviation “(md)” added to the details of the amendment included in the amendment history. If a misdescribed amendment cannot be given effect as intended, the abbreviation “(md not incorp)” is added to the details of the amendment included in the amendment history. 170 National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Regulations 2008 Compilation No. 14 Compilation date: 7/10/15 Registered: 16/10/15 Federal Register of Legislative Instruments F2015C00852 Endnotes Endnote 2—Abbreviation key Endnote 2—Abbreviation key A = Act o = order(s) ad = added or inserted Ord = Ordinance am = amended orig = original amdt = amendment par = paragraph(s)/subparagraph(s) c = clause(s) /sub-subparagraph(s) C[x] = Compilation No. x pres = present Ch = Chapter(s) prev = previous def = definition(s) (prev…) = previously Dict = Dictionary Pt = Part(s) disallowed = disallowed by Parliament r = regulation(s)/rule(s) Div = Division(s) Reg = Regulation/Regulations exp = expires/expired or ceases/ceased to have reloc = relocated effect renum = renumbered F = Federal Register of Legislative Instruments rep = repealed gaz = gazette rs = repealed and substituted LI = Legislative Instrument s = section(s)/subsection(s) LIA = Legislative Instruments Act 2003 Sch = Schedule(s) (md) = misdescribed amendment can be given Sdiv = Subdivision(s) effect SLI = Select Legislative Instrument (md not incorp) = misdescribed amendment SR = Statutory Rules cannot be given effect Sub-Ch = Sub-Chapter(s) mod = modified/modification SubPt = Subpart(s) No. = Number(s) underlining = whole or part not commenced or to be commenced National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Regulations 2008 171 Compilation No. 14 Compilation date: 7/10/15 Registered: 16/10/15 Federal Register of Legislative Instruments F2015C00852 Endnotes Endnote 3—Legislation history Endnote 3—Legislation history Number and year FRLI registration Commencement Application, saving and transitional provisions 2008 No. 127 26 June 2008 1 July 2008 (r 1.02) (F2008L02230) 2009 No. 28 26 Feb 2009 15 Mar 2009 (r 2) r4 (F2009L00711) 2009 No. 378 16 Dec 2009 17 Dec 2009 (r 2) — (F2009L04573) 2011 No. 115 30 June 2011 r 1–3 and Sch 1: 1 July r4 (F2011L01380) 2011 (r 2(a)) r 4: 1 July 2011 Remainder: 1 July 2012 r 2(b) 2011 No. 269 7 Dec 2011 8 Dec 2011 (r 2) — (F2011L02584) 2012 No. 33 23 Mar 2012 Sch 3: 2 Apr 2012 (s 2) — (F2012L00672) 2012 No. 52 23 Apr 2012 s 1–3 and Sch 1: 24 Apr — (F2012L00911) 2012 (s 2(a)) Remainder: 1 July 2012 (s 2(b)) 2012 No. 162 18 July 2012 19 July 2012 (s 2) — (F2012L01575) 104, 2013 5 June 2013 1 July 2013 (s 2) — (F2013L00920) 175, 2013 15 July 2013 Sch 2: 1 July 2014 — (F2013L01391) (s 2(1) item 3) Remainder: 16 July 2013 (s 2(1) items 1, 2) 131, 2014 8 Sept 2014 9 Sept 2014 (s 2) — (F2014L01200) 44, 2015 20 Apr 2015 1 July 2015 (s 2) — (F2015L00571) 172 National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Regulations 2008 Compilation No. 14 Compilation date: 7/10/15 Registered: 16/10/15 Federal Register of Legislative Instruments F2015C00852 Endnotes Endnote 3—Legislation history Number and year FRLI registration Commencement Application, saving and transitional provisions 166, 2015 6 Oct 2015 Sch 2: 1 July 2016 — (F2015L01634) (s 2(1) item 3) Remainder: 7 Oct 2015 (s 2(1) item 2) National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Regulations 2008 173 Compilation No. 14 Compilation date: 7/10/15 Registered: 16/10/15 Federal Register of Legislative Instruments F2015C00852 Endnotes Endnote 4—Amendment history Endnote 4—Amendment history Provision affected How affected Part 1 Heading to r. 1.03 ..........................rs. 2012 No. 52 r. 1.03 ............................................am. 2009 Nos. 28 and 378;
