An application by a firm other than a credit union must be made by submitting the Form online at fca.org.uk using the form specified on the FCA's and PRA's ONAsystem.

- (4)
Where a firm is obliged to submit an application online under (2), if the information technology systems used by the FCA fail and online submission is unavailable for 24 hours or more, until such time as facilities for online submission are restored a firm must use the form in SUP 10A Annex 4D or SUP 10A Annex 8D and submit it in the way set out in SUP 15.7.4 R to SUP 15.7.9 G (Form and method of notification).
- (1)
This rule applies to a notification under Form C or Form D.

A notification must be made in accordance with SUP 10A.16.1 D, except that the annexes to SUP 10A in which the forms are to be found are SUP 10A Annex 6R or SUP 10A Annex 7, rather than the Annexes mentioned in SUP 10A.16.1 D.
If the information technology systems used by the FCA fail and online submission is unavailable for 24 hours or more, the FCA and PRA will endeavour to publish a notice on their websites confirming that online submission is unavailable and that the alternative methods of submission set out in SUP 10A.16.1D (4) and SUP 15.7.4 R to SUP 15.7.9 G (Form and method of notification) should be used.
Where SUP 10A.16.1D (4) or the equivalent situation under SUP 10A.16.2 R applies to a firm, GEN 1.3.2 R (Emergency) does not apply.
