Part 3: Building Act 1984 Miscellaneous and general Section 54: Functions under Part 3 of Building Act 1984 Effect
This section inserts new section 90A into the Building Act 1984 to provide powers for the Secretary of State, by regulations, to allocate responsibilities in respect of functions provided to local authorities in Part 3 of the Building Act 1984 between the Building Safety Regulator and local authorities.
	Subsections (2) and (3) of new section 90A allow for notification requirements to be imposed on the regulator and/or local authorities. It is expected that this power will be used to require that, where the local authority retains the function in respect of higher-risk buildings, it must notify the regulator before taking action, and vice versa.
	Regulations will be subject to the affirmative procedure (see new section 120A in Schedule 5).
	This section applies to England only.
