These Regulations amend the Wireless Telegraphy (Register) Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/3155) (the “Principal Regulations”), which have been amended on three other occasions (S.I. 2006/340, S.I. 2006/1808 and S.I. 2007/381).

The Principal Regulations require OFCOM to establish and maintain a public register of relevant information relating to wireless telegraphy licences of certain classes which apply to a station or apparatus operating within certain frequency bands specified in the Schedule to the Principal Regulations.

Regulation 2 of these Regulations amends the Schedule to the Principal Regulations by specifying further frequencies.

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 at Riverside House, 2a Southwark Bridge Road, London SE1 9HA (Tel: 020 7981 3000) or on the OFCOM internet website at www.ofcom.org.uk. Copies of the report have also been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament.
