The NSTA is responsible for suitability checks of license-holders, including their technical and financial capability.

The Secretary of State is responsible for determining whether to agree to the grant of consent for development of the project under the Environmental Impact Assessment regulations for offshore oil and gas, and will make a decision in due course.
