(a) if a person applied for the exemption—the applicant; or
(b) if the regulator granted the exemption on the regulator’s own initiative and the exemption document is not a legislative instrument—each person to whom the exemption will apply.
(2) If the regulator grants an exemption under subregulation 689A(1), the regulator must:
(a) notify each corresponding regulator that the exemption is granted; and
(b) publish on the regulator’s website the reasons for the decision within 14 days after the day the exemption is granted.
