  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend Part 2 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (c. 43) (“the 1990 Act”) and Part 9 of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005 (c. 16) (“the 2005 Act”). The amendments relate to the purposes for which local authorities may use amounts received by, or paid to, them under those sections of the 1990 Act and the 2005 Act that provide for the issuing of fixed penalty notices for certain waste and littering offences.\nRegulation 2 inserts section 73ZA into the 1990 Act, thereby amending and extending the powers in section 73A of that Act, including powers to legislate, to create a new equivalent of section 73A to apply to waste collection authorities in England. Section 73A of the 1990 Act, as amended, will apply only to waste collection authorities in Wales.\nRegulation 3 inserts section 95A into the 2005 Act, thereby amending and extending the powers in section 96 of that Act, including powers to legislate, to create a new equivalent of section 96 to apply to higher tier authorities in England. Section 96, as amended, will apply only to higher tier authorities in Wales.\nRegulations 4 and 5 make consequential amendments to the Local Government (Structural Changes) (Further Transitional Arrangements and Staffing) Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/486) and the Littering From Vehicles Outside London (Keepers: Civil Penalties) Regulations 2018 (S.I. 2018/171) respectively.\nA full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.",
