                This Determination is the Radiocommunications Licence Conditions (PTS Licence) Amendment Determination 2010 (No. 1).
2              Commencement
                This Determination commences on the day after it is registered.
3              Amendment of Radiocommunications Licence Conditions (PTS Licence) Determination 1997
                Schedule 1 amends the Radiocommunications Licence Conditions (PTS Licence) Determination 1997.

                The amendments made by Schedule 1 do not apply in relation to a PTS licence that:
                 (a)     authorises the holder to operate a land station in a PMTS Class A; and
                (b)     was in force immediately before the commencement of this Determination.
