Schedule 12: OFCOM’s powers of entry, inspection and audit Provisional notices and confirmation decisions Section 133: Confirmation decisions: requirements to take steps
A confirmation decision may require a person to take specific steps to either come into compliance with their duties or remedy the breach that they have committed.
	OFCOM must allow a reasonable period for the recipient to complete the required steps. However, subsection (5) provides that OFCOM can require immediate action when the recipient has breached its information duties (because it will already be on notice as to what is required).
	Section 136 allows OFCOM to require services to use a particular kind of "proactive technology" in their confirmation decisions, with certain constraints and safeguards. Proactive technology is defined in section 231.
	Subsection (3) says that requirements to take steps can only relate to the operation of a regulated service within the United Kingdom, or in so far as it affects United Kingdom users of the service.
	Subsection (4) sets out certain details that must be included in a confirmation decision which requires specific steps to be taken. This includes the steps that are required, OFCOM’s reasoning and the recipient’s appeal rights.
	Subsections (6) requires OFCOM to specify in a confirmation decision which requirements (if any) in that notice are CSEA requirements.
	Subsection (7) provides that OFCOM must designate a step as a CSEA requirement where a confirmation decision imposes a requirement to take steps in relation to a failure to comply with specific illegal safety duties in respect of CSEA content or an offence under Schedule 6. Failure to comply with a CSEA requirement is an offence (see section 138).
