# The Antarctic (Amendment) Regulations 2021, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations update the Antarctic Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/490) to reflect measures adopted at the Forty-second Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting, held at Prague in July 2019. They amend Schedule 1 to those Regulations by replacing the description of Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 141 with a revised version that makes reference to new boundary definitions. They also amend Schedule 2 to those Regulations by adding two new Antarctic Historic Sites and Monuments.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
