(3) An application by A for permission under paragraph (2)(d) must be made in such manner and accompanied by such information as the PRA may direct.

(5) The PRA shall keep any permission granted under paragraph (2)(d) under review, and shall withdraw that permission if it considers that the exceptional circumstances in question no longer apply, after following the procedure set out in paragraphs (6) and (7).
(6) If the PRA proposes—
(a)to refuse an application for permission under paragraph (2)(d), or
(b)to withdraw a permission granted under paragraph (2)(d),
it must give the ring-fenced body a warning notice, stating why it considers that the exceptional circumstances do not apply (if sub-paragraph (a) applies), or no longer apply (if sub-paragraph (b) applies).
(7) If the PRA has decided, after consideration of any representations received in writing from the ring-fenced body in response to the warning notice—

(b)to withdraw permission granted under paragraph (2)(d),
it must give the ring-fenced body a decision notice.

(9) The PRA must, before 1st July 2019, publish a statement containing guidance on what is meant by “exceptional circumstances” for the purposes of granting a permission under paragraph (2)(d) in a way appearing to the PRA to be best calculated to bring it to the attention of the public.
