  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations make provision in connection with the pension rights of certain pensionable employees of the National Rivers Authority under the Local Government Superannuation Regulations 1986 (“the principal Regulations”) who became subject to an approved non-local government superannuation scheme (“scheme”) in their previous water authority employments.\nRegulation 3 retrospectively disapplies part of J13 of the principal Regulations, subject to regulations 4 to 9.\nUnder J13, such employees ceased to qualify for benefits under the principal Regulations.\nRegulation 4 provides that those employees who made contributions to a scheme at the same or a higher rate than that which would have been payable under the principal Regulations if they had not joined a scheme will be treated as having made all the appropriate contributions under the principal Regulations and be entitled to count the period in a scheme as reckonable service for superannuation purposes.\nRegulation 5 requires the National Rivers Authority to refund the difference in contributions, with interest, to employees who made contributions to a scheme at a higher rate than that which would have been payable under the principal Regulations.\nRegulation 6 enables employees who made contributions to a scheme at a lower rate than that which would have been payable under the principal Regulations to elect to make good the shortfall in contributions and thereby to make good the loss in reckonable service which would occur otherwise.\nThe position of employees who ceased to be pensionable employees before they had an opportunity to give notice of election is provided for in regulation 7.\nRegulations 8 and 9 make special provision for employees who, prior to becoming subject to a scheme, elected to make additional payments under regulations C6 or C8 of the principal Regulations and who then made payments to such a scheme at the same rate as that which would have been payable under those Regulations if they had not joined a scheme.\nThe appeal provisions of the principal Regulations are applied by regulation 10.",
