Responses to CP36/16 and correction to PS2/16 PIN rules

Policy Statement 4/17
Published on 23 February 2017

Overview

This Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) policy statement (PS) provides feedback to responses, and final rules and supervisory statements (SS) to Consultation Paper (CP) 36/16 ‘Occasional Consultation Paper’ (the CP). It also contains corrections to the Pre-Issuance Notification (PIN) rules for an administrative error in the final rules presented in PS2/16 ‘Amendments to the Pre-Issuance Notification regime’.

This PS is relevant to all PRA-authorised firms.

The appendices to this PS provide links to the final rules and SSs consulted on in the relevant chapters of the CP, outlined in the table below:

The PIN rule amendments are included as Appendix 10.

The final rules and supervisory statement for Chapter 5 of the CP (Ring-fencing – consequential and reporting amendments), were published in PS3/17 ‘The implementation of ring-fencing: reporting and residual matters – responses to CP25/16 and Chapter 5 of CP36/16'. The final rules for the administration instrument included in the CP were published in January 2017.

The policy contained in this PS has been designed in the context of the current UK and EU regulatory framework. The PRA will keep the policy under review to assess whether any changes would be required due to changes in the UK regulatory framework, including changes arising once any new arrangements with the European Union take effect.

Feedback on consultation responses

The PRA received eight responses to the CP. For chapters 2, 4 and 6, respondents made a number of suggestions and requests for clarification which are set out in Chapter 2 of this PS. No responses were received for chapters 3 and 7, and so the PRA will implement the rules as presented in the CP.
