4For RAPs, key steps in the regulation 5 procedure
The FCA will: |
||
(1) |
give written notice to the RAP (or applicant); |
The notice will state why the FCA intends to take the action it proposes to take, and include an invitation to make representations, and the date by which representations should be made. |
(2) |
take such steps as it considers reasonably practicable to bring the notice to the attention of the members of the RAP or of the applicant, as the case may be; |
The FCA will also notify persons individually (as far as it considers it reasonably practicable to do so) if it considers that the action it proposes to take would affect them adversely in a way which would be different from its effect on other persons of the same class. |
(3) |
publish the notice so as to bring it to the attention of other persons likely to be affected; |
|
(4) |
receive representations from the RAP or applicant concerned, any member of the RAP or applicant, and any other person who is likely to be affected by the action the FCA proposes to take; |

The FCA will indicate why it will not hear oral representations and the FCA will allow the person concerned further time to respond. |
