The Water Act 2007 (Section 256) allows the Water Regulations 2008 to refer to certain material without it being explicitly 'written into' the Regulations.

Such is the case with the document titled Commercially Sensitive Sites. It is referenced in Regulation 1.06 and its contents have effect as though they were included in the Regulations themselves.

For the purposes of Regulations 7.13 and 7.14, the document lists the names of sites from which water information can, for reasons of commercial sensitivity, be provided later than the time specified in the Regulations. These sites are limited to those of organisations that are listed in Category C (hydroelectricity generators).
