This subsection applies to an appointed representative to whom section 39(1BA) applies or to whom that subsection would apply if the requirements of section 39(1BB) were not met. This subsection applies to an appointed representative of an authorised person who has a Part 4A permission by virtue of regulation 4 or 7 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Markets in Financial Instruments) Regulations 2017 (S.I. 2017/XXXX). If it appears to the FCA that a person in respect of whom there is an entry in the record as a result of one of the paragraphs of subsection (1) has ceased to be a person to whom that paragraph applies, the FCA may remove the entry from the record. But if a person ceases to be a person to whom one of the paragraphs of subsection (1) applies as a result of a cancellation of that person's Part 4A permission under section 55J because one or more of the conditions in section 55K(1)(b) to (d) was met, the power conferred by subsection (3) is not exercisable for a period of five years from the date on which the person ceased to be a person to whom subsection (1) applied. Where the power conferred by subsection (3) is not exercisable in respect of an entry in the record as a result of subsection (3A) the FCA must— make a note in the record that it considers the person to whom the entry relates has ceased to be person to whom one of the paragraphs of subsection (1) applies as a result of a cancellation of that person’s Part 4A permission for a reason mentioned in subsection (3A)(a) or (b); and state why it considers that is the case. But if the FCA decides not to remove the entry, it must— make a note to that effect in the record; and state why it considers that the person has ceased to be a person to whom that paragraph applies in any case where it has not already done so under subsection (3B). If the FCA cancels or varies the Part 4A permission of a mortgage intermediary and as a result the person to whom the entry relates no longer has a Part 4A permission to carry on a relevant mortgage activity within the meaning of section 55J(6C), the FCA must delete mention of such permission from the record without undue delay. The FCA must— make the record available for inspection by members of the public in a legible form at such times and in such place or places as the FCA may determine; and provide a certified copy of the record, or any part of it, to any person who asks for it— on payment of the fee (if any) fixed by the FCA; and in a form (either written or electronic) in which it is legible to the person asking for it. The FCA may— publish the record, or any part of it; exploit commercially the information contained in the record, or any part of that information. “Authorised unit trust scheme”, “authorised contractual scheme”, “authorised open-ended investment company” and “recognised scheme” have the same meaning as in Part XVII, and associated expressions are to be read accordingly. “Approved person” (except in the expression “Part 18 approved person”) means a person in relation to whom the FCA or the PRA has given its approval under section 59 and “controlled function” and “arrangement” have the same meaning as in that section. “Part 18 approved person” means a person in relation to whom the FCA has given its approval under section 309G.
