Bounty (High Alloy Steel Products) Act 1983 No. 126 of 1983 - SECT 5

5. For the purposes of this Act, the prescribed steps in the production of a
bountiable product-

   (a)  commence with and include-

        (i)    in the case of a bountiable stainless steel bar that was
               produced by cold-drawing a coiled
               prescribed stainless steel bar-the step next following the
               production of the coiled prescribed stainless steel bar;

        (ii)   in the case of a bountiable stainless steel plate that was
               produced by descaling a prescribed coil or a product that was
               produced in Australia from a prescribed ingot-the descaling of
               the coil or product, as the case may be;

        (iii)  in the case of a bountiable stainless steel sheet that was
               produced by cold-rolling a prescribed coil-the step next
               following the production of the prescribed coil;

        (iv)   in the case of-

                (A)  a bountiable steel bar that was produced by forging a
                     prescribed ingot or a product that was produced from a
                     prescribed ingot; or

                (B)  a bountiable steel piece that was produced by forging a
                     prescribed ingot,

the step next following the production of the prescribed ingot;

        (v)    in the case of-

                (A)  a bountiable steel bar that was produced by hot-rolling
                     or cold-drawing a prescribed ingot or a product that was
                     produced from a prescribed ingot;

                (B)  a bountiable steel billet that was produced by
                     hot-rolling or forging a prescribed ingot; or

                (C)  a bountiable steel slab that was produced by hot-rolling
                     or forging a prescribed ingot or a
                     bountiable steel billet that was produced by hot-rolling
                     or forging a prescribed ingot,

the production of the prescribed ingot;

        (vi)   in the case of a bountiable steel bar, a bountiable steel
               billet, a bountiable steel piece or a bountiable steel slab
               that was produced by the continuous casting of metal that had
               been melted in a furnace known as an electric arc furnace or by
               hot-rolling, cold-drawing or forging a product that was
               produced by, or from a product that was produced by, the
               continuous casting of metal that had been melted in a furnace
               known as an electric arc furnace-the melting of the metal in
               the furnace; and

        (vii)  in the case of any other bountiable product-such step or
               process as is prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of
               this paragraph in relation to the bountiable product; and

   (b)  end upon the completion of the last step in the forging, cold-drawing,
        descaling, cold-rolling, hot-rolling or casting that produced the
        product or, if the bountiable product was produced by another process,
        such process as is prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of
        this paragraph in relation to the bountiable product.
