# The Authority to Carry Scheme (Civil Penalties) Regulations 2015, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations set out the civil penalty regime that applies for the purposes of an authority-to-carry scheme under section 22 of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015. The authority-to-carry scheme to which these Regulations refer is the Authority to Carry Scheme 2015, brought into force on the same day as these Regulations.
Regulation 3 applies to carriers who are required by the scheme to seek authority to carry from the Secretary of State. Where a carrier breaches a requirement of the authority to carry scheme of the kind specified in regulation 3, the Secretary of State may require the carrier to pay a penalty. Such a penalty may not exceed £50,000. Regulation 4 contains provision about the contents of a penalty notice. Regulations 5 to 8 deal with matters relating to objection, appeals, enforcement and service of documents.
