(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Wireless Telegraphy (Crown Recognised Spectrum Access) Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/16) ("the Principal Regulations").
The Principal Regulations provide for the circumstances of use for which grants of recognised spectrum access may be made by the Office of Communications ("OFCOM") to the Crown. Those circumstances are where a wireless telegraphy station or wireless telegraphy apparatus is operated within any of the frequency bands listed in the Schedule by or on behalf of the Crown.
Regulation 2 of these Regulations amends the Schedule of the Principal Regulations to include two additional 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.
