Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the Water Resources (Abstraction and Impounding) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/641) so as to correct a cross reference (regulation 2(2)), remove an unnecessary reference (regulation 2(3)), and correct an error and an omission in relation to deadlines for entering certain information on to the Register of abstraction and impounding licences (regulation 2(4)).

A full Regulatory Impact Assessment was produced in connection with the Water Resources (Abstraction and Impounding) Regulations 2006. A copy of this can be obtained from the Water Supply and Regulation Division, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Area 2C, Ergon House, Horseferry Road, London SW1P 2AL and from Water Branch, Environment Protection and Quality Division, Welsh Assembly Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ. A further regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for these Regulations as they do not create any additional impact on the private or voluntary sectors.
