(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Wireless Telegraphy (Limitation of Number of Licences) Order 2014 ("the principal Order"). The principal Order was made under section 29 of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 ("the Act"). Section 29 of the Act implements Article 7(1)(c) of Directive 2002/20/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7th March 2002 on the authorisation of electronic communications networks and services (Authorisation Directive) as amended by Directive 2009/140/EC.
Article 3 of this Order makes a minor drafting change to Article 6 of the principal Order which sets out how OFCOM shall determine limitations on the number of wireless telegraphy licences.
Articles 4 and 5 make minor changes to Part 1 of Schedule 1 and Part 1 of Schedule 3 to the principal Order which set out the uses and frequencies for which OFCOM will only grant a limited number of wireless telegraphy licences.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
2006 c.36. section 29(1) to (3) of the Act was extended to the Bailiwick of Guernsey by article 2 of the Wireless Telegraphy (Guernsey) Order 2006 (S.I. 2006/3325); to the Bailiwick of Jersey by article 2 of the Wireless Telegraphy (Jersey) Order2006 (S.I. 2006/3324); and to the Isle of Man by article 2 of the Wireless Telegraphy (Isle of Man) Order 2007 (S.I. 2007/278).
