(2) For the purposes of the formula in paragraph (1)—
(a)“TL” means the total levy of £180 million;

(c)“Y” means the sum of all relevant insurers’ “X” for the preceding calendar year.
(3) If a relevant insurer fails to provide the information requested under regulation 7 within the period required by that regulation, “X” is the amount considered by the FR Scheme administrator to be a reasonable estimate of the gross written premium of the relevant insurer for the preceding calendar year, on the basis of information reasonably available.
