Revision Date: December 2018
Regulaon 5G of the Oshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage (Environment) Regulaons 2009
provides that NOPSEMA must be reasonably sased that a tleholder is compliant with secon 571(2)
of the Oshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006 prior to accepng an environment plan
(EP) or revised EP.
In accordance with NOPSEMA’s Financial Assurance for Petroleum Titles Guideline (the Guideline)
(N-04730-GL1381), titleholders must provide declarations of compliance with section 571(2) to
NOPSEMA for all petroleum tles on which petroleum acvies are to be undertaken. A Financial
Assurance Declaraon relates to the tles for which the declaraon is made and may be applicable
to mulple acvies and mulple EP submissions for those tles.
A Financial Assurance Declaration can be made to NOPSEMA at any time. A Financial Assurance
Confirmation (N-04730-FM1465) must also be provided by the titleholder undertaking the activity prior
to acceptance of an EP.
Further advice on meeng nancial assurance requirements is provided in the Guideline available on
NOPSEMAs website.
This declaraon must be signed by individuals who;
are the registered holder of the tles to which the declaraon relates; or
are acng with the registered tleholders express or implied authority and on behalf of the
tleholder; or
are acng with power of aorney on behalf of the tleholder.
On receipt of a Financial Assurance Declaraon that contains all of the requisite informaon,
NOPSEMA will provide a nocaon of receipt.
Where a Financial Assurance Declaraon is not provided in a form acceptable to NOPSEMA, the
tleholder(s) will be advised and requested to provide a further declaraon.
Where a tleholder is unable to provide a Financial Assurance Declaraon to NOPSEMA it is
recommended that the tleholder contact NOPSEMAs Environment Division as soon as praccable.
Failure to provide a Financial Assurance Declaraon will
1
prevent NOPSEMA from accepng an EP.
Supplying false or misleading informaon to a Commonwealth Enty is an oence under the
Criminal Code Act 1995 and providing such false informaon may render NOPSEMAs decisions
in accepng EPs which rely on a Financial Assurance Declaraon as invalid.
1
This is a NOPSEMA process requirement and is not a legislave requirement under the OPGGS Act.
