(2) The EPA may, by order published in the Gazette, issue a
protocol (a
"processing refund protocol" ) to be applied in determining the amounts
payable to material recovery facility operators as processing refunds under a
Scheme Coordinator agreement.

time determined, applied or regulated by any specified person or body.
(5) A
processing refund protocol must comply with any requirements of the
