M2S.I. 2006/397, as amended by S.I. 2007/3386. S.I. 2006/397 was also amended by the Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Interoperable Rail System) Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/1746), but as those amendments came into force on 7th July 2008 they are not relevant to paragraph (3)(a)(i). Regulation 40(6) of S.I. 2006/397 provides for authorisations under the Railways (Interoperability)(High-Speed) Regulations 2002 (2002/1166) to be treated as an authorisation under S.I. 2006/397. Consequently the reference in paragraph (3)(a)(i) to a unit being authorised under the Railways (Interoperability) Regulations 2006 does not include a unit deemed to be authorised by virtue of regulation 4A of those Regulations, but does include a unit that was previously authorised under the Railways (Interoperability)(High-Speed) Regulations 2002.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
