Sulphur in Gasoline Regulations

11 (1) A primary supplier who elects to calculate the concentration of sulphur on the basis of a pool average under section 9 may also elect, in the notice required under that section, to use the alternative averaging calculation method described in subsection (2) for the period beginning on July 1, 2002 and ending on December 31, 2004 by

• (a) informing the Minister of the primary supplier’s election to use the alternative averaging calculation method; and
