1.5 GHz Band Plan

Remaking of sunsetting instrument without amendments – Australian Communications and Media Authority

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is scheduled to remake the 1.5 GHz Band Plan without significant amendments on 1 October 2015. The 1.5 GHz Band Plan specifies the type of users in this frequency range such as: mobile satellite, aeronautical, point to point and public telecommunications services. In line with the Australian Government best practice regulation requirements for sunsetting legislative instruments, the ACMA has assessed the operation of this instrument in consultation with affected stakeholders and has certified that the instrument is operating efficiently and effectively. Therefore the Office of Best Practice Regulation notes that a Regulation Impact Statement is not required for this regulation to be remade. As the instrument was remade without amendments there are no compliance cost changes.
