EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend the Wireless Telegraphy (Register) Regulations 2012 (S.I. 2012/2186) (the “Principal Regulations”).

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 the frequency bands specified in the Schedule to the Principal Regulations.

Regulation 2 of these Regulations amends the Principal Regulations by adding the specified frequency bands to Schedule 2 to the Principal Regulations.
