# The Marine Licensing (Application Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 2018, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Marine Licensing (Application Fees) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/615) (“the Fees Regulations”), which prescribe the fees payable in relation to marine licence applications where the Secretary of State is the appropriate licensing authority under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 (c. 23) (other than any application relating to an activity specified in the exception to regulation 3 of the Fees Regulations).
Regulation 3 substitutes regulation 4 of the Fees Regulations to introduce a new fee structure and new fee rates. It introduces a new fixed fee of £50 for Band 1 applications (instead of an hourly fee rate of £94, subject to a maximum of £175). It introduces a new hourly rate of £122 for Band 2 and Band 3 applications (instead of an hourly fee rate of £94). It also introduces a requirement for all applicants to pay travel fees incurred in relation to the determination of applications.
Regulation 5 amends the Schedule to the Fees Regulations to introduce revised descriptions of Band 2 applications and revised maximum amounts of the application fee for those applications.
Regulation 6 makes transitional provision for Band 2 applications received but not determined before 1st September 2018.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
