Part 3: National Underground Asset Register Section 58: National Underground Asset Register: Northern Ireland Section 45A: National Underground Asset Register
New Article 45A in SWNIO 1995 is, for Northern Ireland, the equivalent of section 106A in NRSWA 1991 for England and Wales (see paragraph 453) above). This Article places a duty on the Secretary of State to keep a register of information ("NUAR") relating to apparatus in streets in Northern Ireland.
	Although the legislative requirements to keep a register in England and Wales, and in Northern Ireland, are distinct, the intention is for there to be a single register across all three of these parts of the UK. New Article 45A(5) makes provision to facilitate this.
