This document tidies up the rulebook by removing an outdated 1996 designation, likely because those frequencies were being reallocated or the old rules were no longer needed. It's an administrative cleanup to keep spectrum laws current."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-spectrum-designation-notice-no-1-of-1996-instrument-of-revocation-no-1-of-2010","history":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-spectrum-designation-notice-no-1-of-1996-instrument-of-revocation-no-1-of-2010/history","analysis":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-spectrum-designation-notice-no-1-of-1996-instrument-of-revocation-no-1-of-2010/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-spectrum-designation-notice-no-1-of-1996-instrument-of-revocation-no-1-of-2010/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-spectrum-designation-notice-no-1-of-1996-instrument-of-revocation-no-1-of-2010/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-spectrum-designation-notice-no-1-of-1996-instrument-of-revocation-no-1-of-2010/documents"}}
