A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument because the amendments it introduces are not expected to have a significant impact on the total costs and benefits estimated for S.I. 2006/3289. A Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) for S.I. 2006/3289 was produced and copies can be obtained from the Sustainable Development and Regulation Directorate, Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR), 1 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0ET and at www.berr.gov.uk/innovation/sustainability. As these Regulations do not transpose new European legislation, no transposition note (TN) has been prepared. A TN in respect of S.I. 2006/3289 is available from BERR as above. Copies of the RIA and TN have been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament.
