(a)the representations made to it in accordance with subsection (2)(b); and
(b)its response to them.
(5)If the direction differs from the draft published under subsection (1) in a way which is, in the opinion of the [F1FCA], significant—
(a)the [F1FCA] must (in addition to complying with subsection (4)) publish details of the difference; and
(b)those details must be accompanied by a cost benefit analysis.
(6)Subsections (1) to (5) do not apply if the [F1FCA] considers that the delay involved in complying with them would prejudice the interests of consumers.
(7)Neither subsection (2)(a) nor subsection (5)(b) applies if the [F1FCA] considers—
(a)that, making the appropriate comparison, there will be no increase in costs; or
(b)that, making that comparison, there will be an increase in costs but the increase will be of minimal significance.
(8)The [F1FCA] may charge a reasonable fee for providing a person with a copy of a draft published under subsection (1).

(10A)If, in the opinion of the FCA—
(a)the costs or benefits referred to in subsection (10) cannot reasonably be estimated, or
(b)it is not reasonably practicable to produce an estimate,
the cost benefit analysis need not estimate them, but must include a statement of the FCA's opinion and an explanation of it.]
