I.1991/542) as amended by the Wireless Telegraphy (Licence Charges) (Amendment) Regulations 1992 (S. I.1992/362) (“the Principal Regulations”), which provide for fees to be paid in relation to wireless telegraphy licences granted under section 1 of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 (c. 54).\nThe Regulations change the level and structure of some of the fees prescribed for certain licence types to up-date those fees, by substituting for the Schedule to the Principal Regulations the Schedule to these Regulations (regulation 6). Fees are increased in respect of 12 licence types and reduced in respect of 1 licence type. Fees are now prescribed for 56 types of licence.\nSome licence categories and 4 licence types have been renamed and the Amateur Radio Beacon and Repeater Licence has been withdrawn. Radio Microphone and Permanent Earth Station Licences have each been split into 3 classes. The classes of Independent Programme Maker’s Licence have been increased. The fees for Maritime Business Radio, National Public Radiotelephone Systems, Port Operations and Private Mobile Radio (Standard) have been restructured. Personal Communications Network, Private Mobile Radio Road Construction, Radar Gauges, Restricted Radio Services Transmission (Class B-Radiating Cable), Temporary Use and RF tagging are new types of licence. An existing licence type Band III Private Mobile Radio National Trunked Service has been reintroduced.\nThe Regulations amend the table set out in regulation 3(4) of the Principal Regulations by substituting for it the table set out in Schedule 1 to these Regulations (regulation 3).\nThe Regulations also update the list in regulation 3(6) of the Principal Regulations which is now entitled “Coverage of Independent National and Local Radio Stations”. This is referred to in connection with the fee prescribed for Transmission of National and Local Broadcasting Services Licences (regulation 3).",
