Commentary on provisions of the Act Range control Section 6: Range control services
Subsection (1) lists those activities that constitute range control services.
	Paragraph (d) of subsection (1) concerns notifications. While the precise requirements for notifications will be left to regulations, the role of the range control service provider may be, where appropriate, to alert competent authorities or other persons, who will in turn notify land, sea or airspace users of dangerous activities. For instance, there are established domestic and international procedures for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency to issue notices to mariners;4 and for the CAA to issue notices to airspace users.5 Any restrictions or exclusions will only apply in the UK (including territorial waters), to the extent enabled in the Act – particularly pursuant to powers in section 41.
	Paragraph (g) of subsection (1) enables the Secretary of State to make regulations, prescribing other services pursuant to, or connected with, those listed in paragraphs (a) to (f) as range control services.
	Subsection (2) provides that if the Secretary of State prescribes additional range control services under subsection (1) paragraph (g), these must relate to one of the activities or purposes under subsection (2).
