Part 3: National Underground Asset Register Section 58: National Underground Asset Register: Northern Ireland Article 45H: Arrangement for third party to exercise functions
New Article 45H in SWNIO 1995 is, for Northern Ireland, the equivalent of section 106H in NRSWA 1991 for England and Wales (see paragraph 480 above).
	The new Articles 45A to 45I and Schedule 2ZA (which will be defined by the amended Article 2 of SWNIO 1995 as the "NUAR provisions") confer a range of functions on the Secretary of State. A number of these functions concern operational aspects of running NUAR, such as the keeping of the register, making information kept in the register available to others, and the receiving of fees. Article 45H makes provision for the approach, as in England and Wales, whereby the Secretary of State can enter into arrangements for another person to exercise these functions of the Secretary of State, save for those set out in Article 45H(7)(a) and (b).
