21  Registration of radiocommunications transmitters
 (1) Each spectrum licence will include a condition that prohibits operation of a radiocommunications transmitter unless the requirements under Part 3.5 of the Act to have the transmitter registered have been met.
Note 1: Under subsection 145(1) of the Act, the ACMA may refuse to include in the Register details of a radiocommunications transmitter that is proposed to be operated under a spectrum licence if the ACMA is satisfied that operation of the transmitter could cause an unacceptable level of interference to the operation of other radiocommunications devices under that spectrum licence, or any other licence.
Note 2: Subsection 145(4) of the Act states that the ACMA may determine, by written instrument, what are unacceptable levels of interference for the purposes of section 145 of the Act.
Note 3: At the time this instrument was made, the Radiocommunications (Unacceptable Levels of Interference — 3.4 GHz Band) Determination 2015 sets out what were the unacceptable levels of interference for the purpose of registering radiocommunications transmitters to be operated under a spectrum licence to be issued in accordance with this instrument, and was to be used for the issue of certificates by accredited persons under subsection 145(3) of the Act. The Radiocommunications (Unacceptable Levels of Interference – 3.4 GHz Band) Determination 2015 is registered on the Federal Register of Legislation and is available, free of charge, at www.legislation.gov.au.
 (2) Each spectrum licence will include a condition that states that radiocommunications transmitters that operate in the 3400 MHz to 3800 MHz frequency band with a maximum total radiated power of less than or equal to 28 dBm per occupied bandwidth are exempt from registration.
 (3) Each spectrum licence will include a condition that states that the licensee must ensure that operation of a radiocommunications transmitter that is exempt from registration under subsection (2) does not cause harmful interference to other radiocommunications devices operated under a different spectrum licence or an apparatus licence.
