• establishing an RMP Record within the Central Switching Service following the establishment of a new gas Supply Meter Point in accordance with the UNC;
• terminating an RMP Record within the Central Switching Service following disconnection of a Metering Point in accordance with the DCUSA or a Supply Meter Point in accordance with the UNC or IGT UNC;
