Section 86A of the Energy Resources Act 2000 requires the licensees of a prescribed licence to carry out a fitness-for-purpose (FFP) assessment of their facilities within the area of that licence to assess the risks imposed by the facilities on public health and safety, the environment and the security of production or supply of natural gas (so far as this may be relevant). Section 86A(6) of the Act requires that any identified risks are eliminated or reduced so far as is reasonably practicable, and any remedial actions identified must be promptly carried out. Regulation 30 of the Energy Resources Regulations 2013 outlines the requirements of this five-yearly assessment and associated report. Section 86A(4) requires the licensee to prepare a report on the FFP assessment of facilities in a manner and form determined by the minister. This document outlines the manner and form required, provides guidance to licensees on how the requirements of the regulations can be met, and hence aids the Department for Energy and Mining in reviewing and validating the submitted report efficiently. The typical process from submission to close out of the FFP report is also outlined.
