They also amend the Control of Pollution (Registers) (Scotland) Regulations 1993 to make provision in respect of the inclusion in the registers maintained by SEPA under section 41 of that Act of information relating to enforcement notices, convictions for failure to comply with enforcement notices, and proceedings taken by SEPA to secure compliance with enforcement notices (regulation 3).
