CTPS 2.3 Other applicable parts of the Handbook

CTPS 2.3.1G

1Virtually all the rules applicable to critical third parties are set out in CTPS. For the most part, a critical third party will not need to look at any other part of the Handbook.

CTPS 2.3.2G

1The table in CTPS 2.3.3G sets out the other parts of the Handbook and related provisions that apply to a critical third party in its capacity as such. The table does not cover a critical third party that is also subject to the Handbook in another capacity such as an authorised person or a person whose securities have been admitted to the official list.

Rows (zp) and (zq) of Part 1A of the table in FEES 3.2.7R (Table of application, notification, vetting and other fees payable to the FCA) and other parts of FEES relating to the payment of such fees.

These cover fees under sections 166(3)(b) and 166A(2)(b) of the Act, which relate to fees in relation to skilled persons.

SUP

SUP 8 (Waiver and modification of rules)

While most of SUP 8 applies to a critical third party, the procedures for applying for a waiver do not apply. The FCA will direct what the application procedure is if and when a critical third party wants to apply for a waiver.

SUP 8.1.1AG states that a reference in the chapter to a firm includes a reference to a person subject to rules made by the appropriate regulator which would include, among others, a critical third party.
