    The rules in this sourcebook are made under the FCA’s powers in section 131V (as well as section 137T, as applied by section 131V, and section 138D) of the Act. GEN 2.2.17R is accordingly not applicable.

ATCS 1.2.4G

  2. (2)

ATCS 1.2.6G

1The effect of ATCS 1.2.5R is that where, for example, a designated firm is required to give notification under ATCS 2.1.1R of a relevant closure of one of its cash access facilities in Great Britain to another designated person, it must give that notification to a designated person who is designated in relation to the UK or Great Britain.

ATCS 1.2.7R

1Where rules in this sourcebook permit a designated coordination body to take an action required by the rules for its participating designated firms, the body may only take such action if it relates to a part of the UK in relation to which it is designated by the Treasury pursuant to section 131R of the Act.
