43 Annual amount for Part 10 licence

(1) Subject to item 45, if a Part 10 licence specifies one or more HCIS blocks or HCIS cells, within which the operation of a radiocommunications transmitter is authorised, the annual amount for the licence is the sum of the results of performing the following calculation for each such block or cell: (a) the bandwidth of the part of the spectrum (in MHz) within which operation of a radiocommunications transmitter under the licence is authorised in the block or cell; multiplied by (b) the base rate for the Part 10 licence; multiplied by (c) the population of the HCIS block or HCIS cell. (2) If a Part 10 licence does not specify any HCIS blocks or HCIS cells within which the operation of a radiocommunications transmitter is authorised, the annual amount for the licence is the minimum annual amount.

Note: Sub-item (2) affects a small number of Part 10 licences which authorise the operation of radiocommunications transmitters outside the area covered by the ASMG, but which are part of Australia (such as some parts of the Torres Strait).
