What was the nature of the liability? (E.g. land

clearing without prior HCV assessment)Box 3.1 - Description of liability

Period of liability begins at the November 2005

cutoff date through the date at which liability was

resolved. In most cases, the end of the liability

period would be the date of completion of the HCV

assessment.

For the full period of liability, was the managementunit under control of a non-RSPO member, an RSPO

RSPO member with certified management unit(s) at

the time of liability. Please explain any changes in

control that occured during the time period of

lieu of conducting a full land use change analysis.

Y/N

Explain any specific circumstances surrounding any

of the clearing listed in 04.2, such as instances of

non-commercial clearing, reference to additional

supporting documents that may help justify the

categorization of vegetation types used, etc.

Box 4.4 - Explanation of specific circumstances

Has any of the clearance without prior HCV

assessment occurred on areas specifically prohibited

by the P&Cs? Such areas must be identified and,

where appropriate, remediated.

Box 4.5 - Any clearance of areas where planting is

prohibited by P&Cs (e.g. riparian zones, steep slopes,

deep peat, areas prohibited by country-specific

legislation)?

Y/N

(Example: 5 0 hectares of riparian areas were cleared

in 2007 without prior HCV assessment. This area is

currently planted with palms and is under active

management)

Box 4.6 - Briefly describe any areas identified in Box

4.5, including hectare estimates and current

circumstances of such areas.

If the LUC analysis was conducted by an external

organization, please provide the name of this

organization. If the analysis was conducted

internally, "internal" is a sufficient response. Please

note that the CTF may request additional data

and/or information on methodology from whoever

conducted the LUC analysis.

Box 4.5 - Name of organization who conducted LUC

analysis

5. CALCULATION OF FINAL LIABILITY

Land controlled by a non-member at time of

clearance

Land controlled by an RSPO

member with no certified units at

time of clearance (Including land

aquired from RSPO members with

no certified management unit(s) at

the time of clearance)

RSPO member with at least one

certified unit(Inluding land aquired

from other RSPO members with

certified management unit(s))at

time of clearance.

Social HCVs if there is insufficient proof (e.g. SEIA) of

appropriate negotiation process and/or outcomes

Guidance

1. Sum of all areas cleared without prior HCV

assessment X their Nov 2005 vegetation coefficient(s).

2. All cleared land owned by members shall be

managed in full accordance with the RSPO standard and

certified as soon as possible.

3. When land cleared is certified, palm products from

areas with a vegetation coefficient < 0.4 in Nov 20 05

may be sold as certified.

4. Palm products from land cleared with vegetation

coefficients > 0.4 in Nov 2005 may not be claimed as

RSPO-certified even though the management unit is

certified (must be either part of mass balance or kept

out by physical segregation).

5. RSPO members acquiring new areas of land after [date of introduction of the Remediation and

Compensation Procedures ] shall commit in writing not

to instigate, encourage or support, directly or indirectly,

any land clearing without prior HCV assessment.

*The RSPO BHCV-CP may review exceptional cases of accidental and limited land clearing without prior HCV assessment

Control of LandFinal liability will be calculated in hectares, using the

inputs from the LUC analysis, adjusted according to

time period of the liabliity, who controlled the land

at time of clearance, and vegetationcoefficents in

2005. See individual guidance for each cell within

Box 5.1.

Box 5.1 Determining final conservation liability (hectares)

Hectares of raw liability (e.g. hectares cleared

without prior HCV assessment) , divided into the

timeframes provided based on when the clearing

occured. Only report areas cleared until the end date

of the time period of liability (do nto report clearing

that occured after HCV assessment).

Hectares of raw liability (e.g. hectares cleared

without prior HCV assessment), divided into the

timeframes provided based on when the clearing

occurred and further divided according to vegetation

coefficients based on November 200 5 land cover.

See land use change guidance document for

additional details. Note that not all areas reported

here will result in final liability.
