Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Wireless Telegraphy (Recognised Spectrum Access for Satellite Receive-Only Earth Stations) Regulations 2011 (S.I. 2011/2763) (the “Principal Regulations”), which provide for the circumstances of use for which grants of recognised spectrum access may be made by the Office of Communications (“OFCOM”).

These Regulations add receive-only stations operating within certain frequency bands.

Regulation 5 of these Regulations amends regulation 6 of the Principal Regulations to include a reference to the Wireless Telegraphy (Recognised Spectrum Access Charges) Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/392, amended by S.I. 2011/2762).

A full regulatory impact assessment of the effect that these Regulations will have on the 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. Copies of this assessment have also been placed in the library of the House of Commons.
