Article 2 of this Order brings into force on 18 January 2008 the following provisions of the 2005 Act:
(a) paragraphs 5 to 7 of Schedule 4 to the 2005 Act which make minor textual amendments to the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (“the 1990 Act”);
(b) paragraph 8 of Schedule 4 to the 2005 Act which amends section 95(1)(c) of the 1990 Act so that the public register of orders and notices, which local authorities are required by section 95 of the 1990 Act to maintain, includes copies of all orders which are made under paragraph 2(1) of Schedule 3A to the 1990 Act in relation to the designation of land for the purposes of regulating the free distribution of printed matter;

(d) paragraph 14 of Schedule 4 to the 2005 Act substitutes a new subsection (1) into section 45 of the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003 (“the 2003 Act”) with the effect that fixed penalties pursuant to section 43(1) (graffiti and fly-posting) of the 2003 Act are payable to the local authority whose authorised officer issued the notice;
(e) paragraph 15 of Schedule 4 to the 2005 Act applies definitions contained in section 47(1) of the 2003 Act to sections 43A and 43B of that Act.

(f) paragraphs 16 to 19 of Schedule 4 to the 2005 Act substitute the term “defacement removal notice” for “graffiti removal notice” in sections 48, 49 and 51 of the 2003 Act, and in the heading of section 52 in that Act.
(g) paragraph 17(7) of Schedule 4 to the 2005 Act inserts the words “but not a parish or community council” into the definition of “local authority” in section 48(12) of the 2003 Act. The effect of this is to prevent parish and community councils from issuing graffiti removal notices, carrying out remedial works where a graffiti removal notice is not complied with and recovering expenses incurred in doing so;
(h) Part 3 of Schedule 5 to the 2005 Act contains repeals to section 324(3)(a) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and section 43(10) and (11) of the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003;
