(1)In this section references to imposing a generally applicable requirement are to—
(a)giving a general direction under section 54, or
(b)imposing a generally-imposed requirement under section 55,
and references to the requirement are to be read accordingly.
(2)Before imposing a generally applicable requirement, the Payment Systems Regulator must—
(a)consult the Bank of England, the FCA and the PRA, and
(b)after doing so, publish a draft of the proposed requirement in the way appearing to the Payment Systems Regulator to be best calculated to bring it to the attention of the public.
(3)The draft must be accompanied by—
(a)a cost benefit analysis,
(b)an explanation of the purpose of the proposed requirement,
(c)an explanation of the Payment Systems Regulator's reasons for believing that imposing the requirement is compatible with its duties under section 49, and
(d)notice that representations about the proposed requirement may be made to the Payment Systems Regulator within a specified time.
(4)Before imposing the proposed requirement the Payment Systems Regulator must have regard to any representations made to it in accordance with subsection (3)(d).
(5)If the Payment Systems Regulator proposes to impose the requirement, it must publish an account, in general terms, of—
(a)the representations made to it in accordance with subsection (3)(d), and
(b)its response to them.
(6)If the requirement differs from the draft published under subsection (2)(b) in a way which is, in the opinion of the Payment Systems Regulator, significant the Payment Systems Regulator must (in addition to complying with subsection (5)) publish details of the difference together with a cost benefit analysis.
(7)For the purposes of this section a “cost benefit analysis” is—
(a)an analysis of the costs together with an analysis of the benefits that will arise—
(i)if the proposed requirement is imposed, or
(ii)if subsection (6) applies, from the requirement imposed, and
(b)subject to subsection (8), an estimate of those costs and of those benefits.
(8)If, in the opinion of the Payment Systems Regulator—
(a)the costs or benefits referred to in subsection (7) 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 Payment Systems Regulator's opinion and an explanation of it.
(9)The Payment Systems Regulator may charge a reasonable fee for providing a person with a copy of a draft published under subsection (2)(b).
(10)Subsections (2)(b) and (3) to (6) do not apply if the Payment Systems Regulator considers that the delay involved in complying with them would be prejudicial to the interests of those who use, or are likely to use, services provided by regulated payment systems.
(11)Subsections (3)(a) and (6) do not apply if the Payment Systems Regulator considers that, making the appropriate comparison—
(a)there will be no increase in costs, or
(b)there will be an increase in costs but the increase will be of minimal significance.
(12)In subsection (11) the “appropriate comparison” means—
(a)in relation to subsection (3)(a), a comparison between the overall position if the requirement is imposed and the overall position if it is not imposed;
(b)in relation to subsection (6), a comparison between the overall position after the imposing of the requirement and the overall position before it was imposed.
