I refer to the reply to Question Nos. 47, 50 and 76 of 18 September 2012. As of yesterday, applications in respect of the on-site waste water treatment systems of some 46,860 owners, who have registered on-line, by post or in person at their local authority offices, have been processed. I understand that  a further 29,500 owners have submitted registration applications which are yet to be processed by the bureau operated by the Local Government Management Agency. The additional information sought in the Question is set out in the following table.
