  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Register of Occupational and Personal Pension Schemes Regulations 1997 (“the principal Regulations”).\nRegulation 1 relates to citation, commencement and interpretation.\nThe effect of regulation 2(2) is that incidental information required by the Registrar under regulation 4(1)(b) of the principal Regulations is to be provided by the trustees within 3 months of the Registrar’s sending to them by post a written notice requesting the information rather than within 3 months of receipt of such notice.\nRegulation 2(3) amends regulation 8(3) of the principal Regulations. Where a scheme became registrable before 1st April 1997 the trustees shall provide the Registrar with the information mentioned in regulation 8(3) of the principal Regulations within 3 months of a request for the information from the Registrar.\nAn assessment of the compliance cost for employers of the measures arising from the Pensions Act 1995, including these Regulations, has been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament. Copies can be obtained by post from the Department of Social Security, Private Pensions Directorate, The Adelphi, 1-11 John Adam Street, London WC2N 6HT.",
