Section 54A (variation of radio multiplex licences: frequency or licensed area)^f1 has effect as if—

(a)

in subsection (2)—

(i)

for “(6)” there were substituted “(7)”;

after “local” there were inserted “or small-scale”;

(b)

after subsection (6) there were inserted—

“(7)
In the case of a small-scale radio multiplex licence, OFCOM may vary the licence in accordance with the application only if they are satisfied that doing so would not unacceptably reduce the number of community or local digital sound programme services available to persons living in the area or locality for which, before the proposed variation, the small-scale radio multiplex service is required to be available.”.
