Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument cancels (revokes) an old 1996 radio spectrum rule that designated certain frequencies for specific uses.

What it does:

Revokes the Radiocommunications (Spectrum Designation) Notice No. 1 of 1996 — essentially deleting outdated rules about how certain radio frequencies could be used
Takes effect on 1 June 2012 and expires the next day (it serves a one-time "housekeeping" purpose)

Who it affects:

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) — the body that manages Australia's airwaves
Potentially telecommunications companies or radio users who were operating under the old 1996 spectrum rules

Why it matters: Radio spectrum (the frequencies used for phones, TV, radio, and internet) is strictly regulated. This document tidies up the rulebook by removing an outdated 1996 designation, likely because those frequencies were being reallocated or the old rules were no longer needed.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.
