Bounty (Steel Mill Products) Act 1983 No. 125 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 bountiable plate that was produced by heating,
               quenching and tempering prescribed plate in a plant known as a
               continuous roller quench heat treatment line-that heating of
               the prescribed plate;

        (ii)   in the case of bountiable sheet that was produced by
               cold-rolling and re-coiling prescribed strip in a plant known
               as a tandem rolling mill or in a plant known as a reverse
               rolling mill-the descaling of the prescribed strip;

        (iii)  in the case of bountiable tube that was produced-

                (A)  from a prescribed plate;

                (B)  by spirally forming prescribed strip into a tubular
                     product and welding the product so formed;

                (C)  from prescribed strip in a plant known as a continuous
                     weld mill; or

                (D)  from prescribed strip in a plant known as an electric
                     resistance weld mill (not being prescribed strip that is
                     a product of a kind
first referred to in paragraph (b) or (c) of the definition of ''prescribed
strip product'' in sub-section 3 (1) or prescribed strip that was perforated
in the plant),

the forming of the prescribed plate or prescribed strip, as the case may be,
into a tubular product;

        (iv)   in the case of bountiable tube that was produced from
               prescribed strip in a plant known as an electric resistance
               weld mill (being prescribed strip that was perforated in the
               plant)-the perforation of the prescribed strip in the plant;

        (v)    in the case of bountiable tube that was produced from a product
               of a kind first referred to in paragraph (b) or (c) of the
               definition of
''prescribed strip product'' in sub-section 3 (1) in a plant known as an
electric resistance weld mill-the cold-rolling of the prescribed strip from
which the product was produced;

        (vi)   in the case of bountiable tube that was produced from a
               prescribed plated strip product-the cold-rolling of the
               prescribed strip from which the prescribed plated strip product
               was produced; 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-

        (i)    in the case of a bountiable product other than bountiable tube
               that was produced in a plant known as a continuous weld mill or
               in a plant known as an electric resistance weld mill-the
               heating, quenching and tempering, the cold-rolling and
               re-coiling, the forming and welding or the forming and brazing
               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; and

        (ii)   in the case of bountiable tube that was produced in a plant of
               a kind referred to in sub-paragraph (i)-the cutting or the
               first cutting, as the case may be, of the tube in the plant.
