- 5. (1) Any person who wishes to import or export ozone depleting substance, greenhouse gas, ozone depleting substance dependent equipment or greenhouse gas dependent equipment or any chemical listed in the Third and Fourth Schedules shall apply to the Ozone Office in Form AP1.
6. (1) The Ozone Office shall, as soon as practicable, but in any case not later than sixty days from the date of receipt of an application—
(a) grant the application (subject to such conditions as it may think fit to impose) and issue to the applicant the import or export license applied for; or

(b) not be transferable to another person.
(4) Any person who contravenes subsection (3)(b) shall be guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding level eleven or imprisonment for a period not exceeding six months or both such fine and such imprisonment.
7(1) Subject to subsections (2) and (4), the Ozone Office may at any time suspend (for a period not exceeding sixty (60) days) or cancel any licence if the Ozone Office has reasonable grounds for believing that—

(2) The Ozone Office shall notify the licensee in writing of its intention to suspend or cancel his or her licence and the reasons for doing so, and shall call upon the licensee to show cause, within 14 days from the date of the notice, why the licence should not be suspended or cancelled, as the case may be:
Provided that if in the opinion of the Ozone Office the licence needs to be immediately suspended or cancelled in the public interest or to avert an environmental emergency he or she can issue the notice requiring the licensee to show cause after suspending or cancelling the licence. (3) If, at the expiry of the period specified in the notice given in terms of subsection (2), and after considering any representations made by the licensee, the Ozone Office is satisfied for any reason specified in subsection (1) that the licence concerned should be suspended or cancelled, the Ozone Office shall, by notice in writing to the licensee, suspend or cancel the licence or take such other action as it considers appropriate. (4) The penalty of suspension is only available where there has been a contravention of any provision of the Act or these regulations or any condition of a licence which, in the opinion of the Ozone Office, is a contravention that can be easily or speedily remediated by the licensee: Provided that —
(a) if after the expiry of the period of suspension the licensee has not taken the remedial action, the Ozone Office shall forthwith cancel the licence; or
(b) on good cause shown by the licensee, the Ozone Office may extend the suspension for a period not exceeding thirty (30) days to allow the licensee to take the required remedial action.
(5) The Ozone Office shall immediately make an appropriate entry in the register of licences where he or she suspends or lifts a suspension of any licence or cancels it in accordance with this section. Amendment and replacement of licences
8(1) The Ozone Office may at any time amend a licence or any terms or conditions of a licence—
(a) to correct any error in the licence ; or
(b) if the licensee requests the amendment; or
(c) if it considers the amendment necessary to reflect the true nature of the licensed activities; or
(d) if for any other reason it considers the amendment necessary or desirable in the interests of the environment or in the public interest.
(2) The Ozone Office shall notify the licensee in writing of its intention to amend a licence on a ground referred to in subsection (1)(a),(c) or (d) and shall call upon the licensee to show cause, within 14 days from the date of the notice, why the licence should not be amended.
(3)Where a licensee requests an amendment to his or her licence, he or she shall make an application to the Ozone Office therefore in Form AP2, together with the prescribed fee.
(4) If in the opinion of the Ozone Office the amendment sought by the licensee is a material amendment, section 6(2),(3),(4),(5) and(6) shall apply as if the application for the amendment is an application for a licence.
