  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order brings into force on 27th December 1990 variations to the Public Lending Right Scheme 1982.\nAppendix 1 to the Order sets out the variations. The principal changes are as follows.\nVariations are made to the provisions relating to the designation of sampling points. The number of sampling points may be increased and the Registrar may include more than 1 service point in any sampling point. Sampling points may be operative for a period of 6 months or, subject to the provisions of the Scheme, for any period which is a multiple of 6 months ending on 31st December or 30th June in any sampling year.\nFrom 30th June 1991 only books with an International Standard Book Number may be registered.\nIf a local library authority does not specify an International Standard Book Number in respect of an unregistered book when it first reports a loan of that book after 30th June 1991, all loans of that book made after 30th June 1991 from the sampling point in respect of which the local library authority reported such a loan may be disregarded by the Registrar.\nRegistered authors will no longer receive notification from the Registrar of the number of notional loans of any book in respect of which no sum is payable by way of Public Lending Right. However for a limited period of 6 months such authors will be entitled to a statement recording the notional loans of any such book, upon request to the Registrar.\nThe sum attributable to each qualifying loan for the purpose of calculating the amount payable in respect of loans of a particular book is decreased from 1.39p to 1.37p.",
