[F17B.—(1) Any condition specified in an order under Article 7(1)(c) in respect of a conveyance exemption which requires the approval of the Authority for the methodology of calculating a system charge in relation to a distribution system or which imposes any obligation on the holder of the exemption in relation to that approval, shall not apply in relation to any closed distribution system.
(2) Where the holder of a conveyance exemption who operates or has control of a closed distribution system receives an expression of interest from a customer who owns or occupies premises that are connected to the system, he must—
(a)inform that customer that the distribution system in question is a closed distribution system; and
(b)within 7 working days, beginning on the day on which he receives the expression of interest, by notice inform any third party supplier identified in the expression of interest that the distribution system in question is a closed distribution system.
(3) Where a customer has served an expression of interest in respect of a closed distribution system and—

(b)at the time of receiving the request the holder of the exemption has not received any confirmation that the customer has entered into a contract with a third party, then paragraph (4) applies.
(4) From the time the holder of the conveyance exemption receives the request referred to in paragraph (3)(a), the conditions referred to in paragraph (1) shall have effect as if the distribution system in question were not a closed distribution system.

(b)the methodology for calculating the charge has not previously been approved by the Authority,
paragraphs (6) to (11) apply.
(6) The holder of the exemption must, within 20 working days, beginning with the day on which he receives the request under paragraph (5)—

(b)notify the conveyance exemption holder and the confirmed third party supplier of its decision.
(9) Where the Authority does not approve the methodology, it must give reasons for that decision.

(a)submit to the Authority a charging statement containing details of a revised methodology;
(b)provide the Authority with such other information and documents as the Authority may specify; and
