Paragraphs 451-503 of these explanatory notes set out how the NUAR service will operate in England and Wales as a result of sections 56, 57, 60 and Schedule 1 of the Act. These provisions allow for a single, sustainable service to operate effectively across England and Wales.
	NUAR will also operate across Northern Ireland as provided for by sections 58, 59, 60 and Schedule 2 of the Act. These sections (and the Schedule) essentially mirror, for Northern Ireland, the provisions made for England and Wales.
	As set out above, provision for NUAR in England and Wales is made through amendments to NRSWA1991. The equivalent legislation for Northern Ireland is the Street Works (Northern Ireland) Order 1995 ("SWNIO 1995"), which this section amends in order to make equivalent provision for NUAR in Northern Ireland.
	Subsection (3) of section 58 inserts new Articles 45A – 45I into SWNIO 1995, making equivalent provision to new sections 106A to 106K this Act inserts into NRSWA 1991 for England and Wales. These new Articles therefore set out, for Northern Ireland, a legislative framework for NUAR, including empowering the Secretary of State to make provision by regulations in connection with the making of information kept in NUAR available to others, the payment of fees by undertakers in relation to NUAR, requiring undertakers to provide information to the Secretary of State for the purposes of regulations, monetary penalties and arrangements for third parties to exercise relevant functions of the Secretary of State.
