In accordance with the Sunsetting legislative instruments guidance note, an alternative process has been established in cases where the sunsetting instrument is being remade without significant change. In those cases, where Impact Analysis would otherwise have been required, under the alternative process an agency will be allowed to self-assess the performance of the instrument. This assessment must be informed by a consultation process with affected stakeholders. If the assessment demonstrates the instrument is operating effectively and efficiently, no Impact Analysis will be required. The agency would certify the assessment by their Secretary, Deputy Secretary, or equivalent agency head in a letter. This letter will be published in lieu of publishing an Impact Analysis. This certification letter template provides a suggested structure.
