  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations.)\nThese Regulations provide for the amendment of various Regulations and Orders and make savings and transitional provisions.\nPart I (regulation 1) makes provision for citation, commencement and interpretation.\nPart II (regulations 2 to 5 and 7) amends the Social Security (Guardian’s Allowances) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1975, the Income Support (General) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987, the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996, the Social Security Benefits (Maintenance Payments and Consequential Amendments) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996 and the Social Security and Child Support (Decisions and Appeals) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999. The amendments reflect changes in terminology in the Child Support (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 (“the Order”) in consequence of the amendment of the Order by the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act (Northern Ireland) 2000 (“the Act”).\nRegulations 6 and 8 amend the New Deal (Miscellaneous Provisions) Order (Northern Ireland) 1998 and the New Deal Pilot for 25 Plus (Miscellaneous Provisions) Order (Northern Ireland) 1999 to include within the Schedules to those Orders references to the Child Support (Maintenance Calculation Procedure) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2001 and the Child Support (Maintenance Calculations and Special Cases) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2001.\nPart III (regulation 9) contains savings provisions.\nPart IV (regulation 10) contains transitional provision for the redetermination of appeals under Article 24A(4)(b) of the Order.\nSection 28(1) and (2) of the Act, the enabling provision under which these Regulations are made, was brought into operation, for the purpose only of making regulations, on 22nd November 2000, by virtue of the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security (2000 Act) (Commencement No. 1) Order (Northern Ireland) 2000 (S.R. 2000 No. 358 (C. 16)). Since the Regulations are made before the end of a period of 6 months from the commencement of the provision under which they are made, they are, accordingly, exempt, by virtue of section 150(5)(a) of the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) Act 1992, from reference to the Social Security Advisory Committee.\nThe impact on business of these Regulations was covered in the Regulatory Impact Assessment for the Act, in accordance with, and in consequence of which, these Regulations are made. A copy of that Assessment can be obtained from Social Security Policy and Legislation Division, Castle Buildings, Stormont, Belfast BT4 3SQ.",
