153A Outline of this Part
(1) This Part is about the re‑allocation of spectrum. (2) Section 153B allows the ACMA to make a declaration that one or more specified parts of the spectrum are subject to re‑allocation. The declaration is called a spectrum re‑allocation declaration. (3) A spectrum re‑allocation declaration may provide that the part or parts of the spectrum should be re‑allocated: (a) by issuing spectrum licences under Subdivision B of Division 1 of Part 3.2 (see section 153L); or (b) by issuing apparatus licences under Division 2 of Part 3.3 (see section 153M); or (c) by a combination of: (i) issuing spectrum licences under Subdivision B of Division 1 of Part 3.2 (see section 153L); and (ii) issuing apparatus licences under Division 2 of Part 3.3 (see section 153M). (4) Certain apparatus licences that are affected by a spectrum re‑allocation declaration will be cancelled at the end of the period specified in the declaration (see section 153H).
