Commentary on provisions of the Act Licences Section 13: Conditions of licences
Subsection (1) permits the regulator to attach conditions to an operator licence, a spaceport licence and a range control licence. A list of possible conditions is set out in Schedule 1 but this is not exhaustive and further conditions may be specified.
	Subsection (3) provides for regulations to require that specific licence conditions must be applied to a licence by a regulator in certain cases or circumstances.
	Subsection (4) enables the regulator to accept or recognise the licences, authorisations, approvals or processes of countries designated by the Secretary of State. Such matters may be recognised or taken into account, when the regulator is deciding licence conditions.
	Subsection (5) requires the Secretary of State to publish a list of countries designated under subsection 4(a). The Secretary of State has administrative powers to designate countries for subsection (4)(a) purposes. This will streamline licensing processes and reduce duplication between the regulatory processes of different States. This power in subsection (4)(a) is different to the Order making power in section 4(1), since the former does not avoid the need for a licence, whereas the latter enables exemption from licensing.
	Subsection (6) imposes a requirement on the regulator to consult with various public bodies when deciding licence conditions.
	There is a power in subsection (7) to prescribe how licensees are to comply with prescribed types of licence conditions and subsection (8) makes it an offence to breach licence conditions.
