Part 13: General Schedule 12: Infrastructure Levy Part 10A, Section 204M: Charging schedule: due date Effect
Subsection (1) provides that IL regulations may make provision for when a charging authority must issue (i.e., publish following approval) a charging schedule.
	Subsection (2) allows the Secretary of State to publish or provide written notice to one or more charging authorities, requiring that authority (or authorities) to issue their charging schedule. IL regulations must allow at least 12 months to elapse from the day on which such notice is given to an authority before the authority is required to issue its charging schedule.
	Where a charging authority does not issue its schedule in time, subsection (3) allows the Secretary of State to appoint a person to prepare and issue the schedule on behalf of that charging authority.
	Subsection (4) is a list of the kind of provision which may be made in IL regulations in connection with the person who is to be so appointed. This includes procedures for appointing the person, the conditions that need to be met prior their appointment, and the procedures to be followed when preparing and issuing the charging schedule. Regulations may also provide for when the person may be replaced, the appointment of assistants, the duties of a charging authority when a person is appointed to act on their behalf, and the liability of costs resulting from the appointment.
Example (1): Appointing a person to prepare a charging schedule
If the Secretary of State requires a charging authority to issue an IL charging schedule within a set period of no less than 12 months, and the charging authority does not do so, then the Secretary of State would be able to appoint a person to prepare and issue a charging schedule on the charging authority’s behalf.
