  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations revoke and replace the Wireless Telegraphy (Automotive Short Range Radar) (Exemption) (No.2) Regulations 2005, the Wireless Telegraphy (Automotive Short Range Radar) (Exemption) (No.2) (Amendment) Regulations 2008 and the Wireless Telegraphy (Automotive Short Range Radar) (Exemption) (No.2) (Amendment) Regulations 2010.\nThese Regulations contain two exemptions from the requirement to be licensed under section 8(1) of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 (c. 36). Both exemptions are for the establishment or installation of automotive short range radar equipment in a vehicle and the use of automotive short range radar equipment so established or installed.\nThe first exemption applies where the establishment or installation is in a vehicle which was registered, placed on the market or put into service in the Community during the period starting on 1st July 2005 and ending on 30th June 2013, or is in a vehicle in which equipment was so established or installed in order to replace that equipment. The second exemption applies where the establishment or installation is in a vehicle which was registered, placed on the market or put into service in the Community after 30th June 2013, or is in a vehicle in which equipment was so established or installed in order to replace that equipment. Different technical conditions apply to each of the two exemptions.\nThese Regulations implement the Commission Decision 2005/50/EC on the harmonisation of 24 GHz radio spectrum band for the time-limited use by automotive short-range radar equipment in the Community (OJ No. L 21, 25.1.05, p. 15) as amended by Commission Implementing Decision 2011/485/EU amending Decision 2005/50/EC on the harmonisation of the 24 GHz range radio spectrum band for the time-limited use by automotive short-range radar equipment in the Community (OJ No. L 198, 30.7.2011, p. 71).\nA full regulatory impact assessment of the effect that these Regulations will have on costs to business is available to the public from OFCOM’s website at http://www.ofcom.org.uk or from the OFCOM library at Riverside House, 2a Southwark Bridge Road, London SE1 9HA (Tel: 020 7981 3000). Copies of this assessment have also been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament.",
