Regulation 14 Deposit management organisation: power to obtain information from registered scheme producers

The deposit management organisation may direct a registered scheme producer to provide it with such information as is specified in a DMO instruction.

A registered scheme producer who receives a DMO instruction must comply with it by the date specified in the DMO instruction (the “compliance date”).

Where a registered scheme producer has provided, in response to a DMO instruction, information which the deposit management organisation reasonably believes to be inaccurate, false or misleading, the deposit management organisation must notify the relevant authority and provide to that authority all relevant information and documents.

Where a registered scheme producer has provided incomplete information in response to a DMO instruction, the deposit management organisation must, after not less than 28 days beginning with the compliance date, notify the relevant authority and provide to that authority all relevant information and documents.

Where a registered scheme producer has failed to respond to a DMO instruction, the deposit management organisation must, after not less than 28 days beginning with the compliance date, notify the relevant authority and provide to that authority all relevant information and documents.

For the purposes of this regulation, “relevant authority” means the Environment Agency or DAERA.
