ASC-FR
Subject to confirmation later in the year through SeRCOP, the following
mandatory changes will be introduced to the 2015-16 ASC-FR. These are
outlined in the September letter.
SALT
• The original SALT announcement in May 2013 stated that for SALT
measure STS001, tables 2a and 2b become mandatory for 2015-16.
• However, table ST003 was included on a temporary basis and
completion of this table for 2015-16 will be voluntary.

changes to returns in relation to:
– Deferred payments

joining our groups or responding to the
consultation when launched

collect and publish a voluntary data collection for DoLS on
a quarterly basis, covering the period April 2014 –

submitted via Omnibus. The collection for the first quarter
(April-June 2014) took place during September and will be
