(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke and replace paragraph 4(2) of Schedule 2 to the Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (England) Regulations 2008 (SI 2008/1881) (the "Principal Regulations"). That provision introduced fees for the approval of laboratories that test the brain stem samples of specified bovine animals, but the Principal Regulations were not signed by two of the Lord Commissioners of Her Majesty´s Treasury Department.
These Regulations reintroduce those fees as follows–
(a) £29,770 for the initial approval of a laboratory;
(b) £8,834 for annual proficiency testing and a follow-up inspection for the first year after approval;
(c) £4,135 for annual proficiency testing from the second year after approval;
(d) £1,385 for a single proficiency test (in the event of failure in the annual proficiency testing); and
(e) £87.24 per hour for an inspector (for any additional inspections that are necessary to check for compliance with the terms of the approval).
An impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available from the TSE Testing Section of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Area 7E, 9 Millbank c/o 17 Smith Square, London SW1P 3JR.
