These Regulations amend the Motor Cycles Etc. (Single Vehicle Approval) (Fees) Regulations 2003 ("the 2003 Regulations"). Those Regulations prescribe the fees which are payable in connection with applications for a Minister´s Approval Certificate and appeals under the Motor Cycles Etc. (Single Vehicle Approval) Regulations 2003 ("the Approval Regulations"). The Approval Regulations allow motor cycles, mopeds and other specified vehicles to be approved in terms of their design, construction, equipment and marking.
Regulation 2(2) increases the fees prescribed by the 2003 Regulations. The increased fees are set out in the Table below (with the percentage increase since the fees were last fixed shown in brackets).

74 | 78 (5.4%) |
(b)
a vehicle which has three or more wheels other than a low power moped; and |
90 | 95 (5.6%) |
(c)
a low power moped. |
47 | 50 (6.4%) |
| Out of hours supplement. | 21 | 22 (4.8%) |

The fee for a further application made within six months of the refusal of the original application remains unchanged at £16 (regulation 4(1) of the 2003 Regulations). The fee for the issue of a replacement for the original approval certificate, which has been lost or replaced, remains unchanged at £11 (regulation 8 of the 2003 Regulations).
