Notification No. 45/97-C.E. (N.T.)

Dated 30-8-1997

In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (2) of section 3A of the Central Excise Act, 1944 (1 of 1944), the Central Government hereby makes the following rules to amend the Hot Re-rolling Steel Mills Annual Capacity Determination Rules, 1997 (hereinafter referred to as the said rules), namely :-

1. (1) These rules may be called the Hot Re-rolling Steel Mills Annual Capacity Determination (Amendment) Rules, 1997.

(2) They shall come into force on the 1st day of September, 1997.

2. In the said rules, -

(i) for sub-rule (3) of rule 3, the following sub-rule shall be substituted, namely, -

"(3) the annual capacity of production of hot re-rolled products of non-alloy steel in respect of such factory shall be deemed to be as determined by applying the following formula :-

Annual Capacity = 1.885 X 10-4 x d x n x i x e x w x Number of utilised hours (in metric tonnes)

Where :

d = Nominal centre distance of the pinions in the pinion stand in millimetres

n = Nominal revolutions per minute (RPM) of the drive

i = Reduction ratio of the gear box or of the pulley system or combination thereof

w = Weight in Kilogramme per metre of the re-rolled product

the value of `e' in the formula shall be deemed to be 0.30 in case of low speed mills, and 0.75 in case of high speed of high speed mills

the value of `w' factor in the formula for the high speed mills shall be deemed to be 0.45 and for the low speed mills shall be deemed to be as under, -

Nominal centre distance of the pinions in the pinion stand in millimetres	`W' in kilogramme per metre
	Up to 110	0.100
	111 to 160	0.150
	161 to 210	0.395
	211 to 260	0.888
	261 to 310	1.200

	Type	No. of furnace
1.	Batch	1	1200
2.	Batch	2	1800
3.	Batch	more than 2	2400
4.	Pusher type	1 or more	2400

Exmpalation. - For the purpose of this rule :-

(a) a high speed mill means a mill which produces hot re-rolled products at a speed of 8.5 metres per second or more and a low speed mill means a mill which produces hot re-rolled products a speed less than 8.5 metres per second.

(b) nominal centre distance is the pinion centre distance of the pinion stand connecting the last rolling mill drive of the finishing mill excluding any pinch roll. Such a pinch roll is not a finishing stand.",

(ii) after sub-rule (2) of rule 4, the followin g rule shall be added, namely, -

"5. In case, the annual capacity determined by the formula in sub-rule (3) of rule 3 in respect of a mill, is less than the actual production of the mill during the financial year 1996-97, then the annual capacity so determined shall be deemed to be equal to the actual production of the mill during the financial year 1996-97.".
