# The Wireless Telegraphy (Recognised Spectrum Access Charges) (Amendment) Regulations 2011, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations are made by the Office of Communications (“OFCOM”) under sections 21, 22(2) and 22(3) of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 (c 36).
These Regulations amend the Wireless Telegraphy (Recognised Spectrum Access Charges) Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/392) (the “Principal Regulations”).
The Principal Regulations provide for sums to be paid to the Office of Communications (“OFCOM”) in respect of grants of recognised spectrum access.
These Regulations introduce charges for grants of recognised spectrum access which are used for satellite receive-only earth stations in certain frequency bands.
A full regulatory impact assessment of the effect that these Regulations will have on the costs to business is available to the public from the OFCOM Library at Riverside House, 2a Southwark Bridge Road, London SE1 9HA (Tel: 020 7981 3000) or on the OFCOM website at www.ofcom.org.uk. Copies of the report have also been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament.
