Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations provide for the circumstances of use for which grants of recognised spectrum access may be made by the Office of Communications (“OFCOM”).
Regulation 3 sets out these circumstances, which are circumstances where there are wireless telegraphy stations or wireless telegraphy apparatus which are inherently incapable of transmission and which operate within certain frequency bands to provide a fixed satellite service or operate within certain other frequency bands to provide a meteorological satellite service.
Regulation 4 provides that an application must be decided within six weeks of receipt of the application. Regulation 5 sets out the requirements that must be met for the grant of recognised spectrum access and regulation 6 sets out particulars of restrictions and conditions to which a grant may be subject.
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.
