The National Reserve fund is replenished each year by the value of unused entitlements that are surrendered to the Reserve under the entitlement usage rules. This year the value of the unused entitlements will not be known until the end of the year. It is expected that allocations from 2010 National Reserve will commence shortly afterwards. Allocations under the 2008 and 2009 National Reserve commenced in September of each year.
