There are two full impact assessments of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector. One impact assessment relates to the recovery of the costs of developing and maintaining a national register of road transport operators as required by EU Regulations. The other impact assessment relates to the rebalancing and equalisation of the application fees for standard and restricted licences to reflect the costs of processing those applications. The impact assessments are available from the VOSA Corporate Office, Berkeley House, Croydon Street, Bristol BS5 ODA and are published with the Explanatory Memorandum alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.
