EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Wireless Telegraphy (Register) Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/3155) (the "principal Regulations"), which have been amended on two other occasions (S.I. 2006/340 and S.I. 2006/1808).
The principal Regulations require OFCOM to establish and maintain a public register of relevant information relating to wireless telegraphy licences of certain classes which apply to a station or apparatus operating within certain frequency bands specified in the Schedule to the Principal Regulations. Section 31 of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 (c.36) provides that the making, renewal or transfer of grants of recognised spectrum access is relevant information that may be included on the public register.
Regulation 2of these Regulations amends regulation 4 of, and the Schedule to, the principal Regulations by expanding the Register to include: grants of recognised spectrum access; setting out the matters to be included for self-coordinated links licences as a new licence class; and providing for a further licence (at frequency band 1785–1805 MHz).
A full regulatory impact assessment of the effect that these Regulations will have on the costs to business is available from OFCOM at Riverside House, 2a Southwark Bridge Road, London SE1 9HA (Tel: 020 7981 3000) or on the Office of Communications Internet web site at
www.ofcom.org.uk. Copies of the assessment have also been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament.
