Informal guidance scheme limits departments to non-binding no-action and interpretive letters, subject to confidentiality and procedural conditions. The Scheme creates an Informal Guidance process allowing eligible market participants to seek Departmental No-action letters or Interpretive letters by submitting a detailed request to the relevant Department with the prescribed fee; Departments aim to respond within a fixed period, may hold hearings, and may refuse requests that are hypothetical, insufficiently factual, duplicative, subject to enforcement or litigation, or raise policy concerns. Guidance is the Department's view, non-binding on the Board, conditional on accurate facts, subject to confidentiality limits, and may be withdrawn or declared void if obtained by fraud.
