# The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (Contingency Planning) (Amendment) Regulations 2011, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (Contingency Planning) Regulations 2005 (“the Principal Regulations”).
Regulation 5 substitutes a new definition of “local resilience area” in the Principal Regulations and together with regulation 8 has the effect of creating a single local resilience area for London in place of the existing six local resilience areas.
Regulation 6 removes the duty imposed on the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority by regulation 55 (1)(a) of the Principal Regulations to take the lead responsibility for ensuring that a community risk register is maintained in each local resilience area in London.
Regulation 7 makes transitional provision with respect to the duty imposed on general Category 1 responders which have functions exercisable in London by regulation 15(1) of the Principal Regulations (to co-operate in maintaining a community risk register).
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private and voluntary sectors is foreseen.
