corresponding geographic areas within which, or locations from which, each transmitter may be operated. The corresponding geographic area may be the whole of Australia.
 (5) A spectrum access for a licence is a low power spectrum access at a particular time if:
 (a) the licence is one of the following:
 (i) a Part 1 licence, other than a defence licence or a licence that authorises the operation of a 900 MHz studio to transmitter link station;
 (ii) a Part 2 licence;
 (iii) a Part 3 licence, other than a licence that authorises the operation of a station that is part of a point to multipoint system;
 (iv) a Part 6 licence; and
 (b) the licence authorises a person to operate one or more radiocommunications transmitters within the spectrum access, subject to a condition that the maximum permitted radiated power of each such transmitter is 8.3 watts EIRP; and
 (c) either:
 (i) the applicant, in its application for the licence; or
 (ii) the licensee, in writing given to the ACMA before the time;
  has requested that the ACMA treat the licence as having a notional service area that consists of every point no more than 2 kilometres from:
 (iii) if the spectrum access includes a particular location – that location; or
 (iv) if the spectrum access includes a particular area – the centre of that area; and
 (d) if the licence is a Part 6 licence – the spectrum access does not consist of frequencies equal to or greater than 960 MHz; and
 (e) the spectrum access is not a micro power spectrum access.
Note 1: There may be more than one spectrum access for a licence.
Note 2: The spectrum accesses for a licence may be worked out by looking at the conditions of the licence that relate to the frequencies on which each radiocommunications transmitter may be operated, and the corresponding geographic areas within which, or locations from which, each transmitter may be operated. The corresponding geographic area may be the whole of Australia.
Note 3: For paragraph (c), the request of an applicant or a licensee may be made, on their behalf, by an accredited person. No form of words is prescribed or required to be used for making the request. The 'notional service area' is used by the ACMA and accredited persons in planning and coordinating radiocommunications.
 (6) A spectrum access for a licence is a micro power spectrum access at a particular time if:
 (a) the licence is one of the following:
 (i) a licence that authorises the operation of an ambulatory station;
 (ii) a licence that authorises the operation of a station that is part of an ambulatory system other than a wireless audio system;
