- Initial credit holders are shown in the table, however, credit holders may
vary from time to time. Details of current holders can be found on the EPA website
(www.epa.nsw.gov.au/hrsts/). - Although some of the participants referred to above were not initially issued with credits, they will be able to participate in trading.
- Some credits were initially kept by the EPA as a transitional mechanism. All residual credits were allocated during 2003, so all 1000 credits are held by participants.
