Date Published: 
June 2016

Section 29 of the Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Act 2013 (TICSA) provides that a designated officer may grant, vary or revoke exemptions to certain interception capability obligations imposed by the Act.

There is one class exemption in force (as of May 2016).

Class Exemption Co1 exempts Intercept Ready network operators from the administrative requirement of section 13(1)(d) to report to the Registrar every 6 months on the number of customers that the network operator has. The designated officer considers that this requirement can be effectively met through the annual registration updates in November (section 69) without the requirement for the 6-month notification.
