Regulation 12 First allocation round
This regulation applies only to the first allocation round established by virtue of the Allocation Regulations.
The Secretary of State may determine that no supply chain statements will be provided in respect of supply chain applications where a first round CFD application is to be made.
A determination must only be made under paragraph (2) where the Secretary of State considers that it is not possible properly to assess by the relevant date all supply chain applications where a first round CFD application is to be made.
Where a determination is made under paragraph (2), the Secretary of State must immediately—
publish that determination; and
give a notice of the determination to the delivery body.
In paragraph (3), “relevant date” means the last date by which applications for a CFD must be made for the first allocation round.
