Mae adran 10 o'r Ddeddf yn darparu, mewn perthynas â Gorchymyn a wneir yn unol â'r adran honno, fod darpariaethau'r Ddeddf yn gymwys fel y maent yn gymwys i fwsglygod, yn ddarostyngedig i'r eithriadau a'r addasiadau hynny a bennir yn y Gorchymyn. Yn y Gorchymyn hwn, gwneir eithriadau mewn perthynas ag adrannau 5(2) a 6(1)(f) o'r Ddeddf. Mae adran 5(2) o'r Ddeddf yn ymwneud â'r ddyletswydd sydd ar feddianwyr tir i roi hysbysiad am bresenoldeb mincod, nad ydynt yn cael eu cadw o dan drwydded, ar eu tir. Mae adran 6(1)(f) o'r Ddeddf yn darparu ar gyfer trosedd pan fo meddiannydd tir yn methu â rhoi hysbysiad o'r fath o dan adran 5(2). Nid oes asesiad effaith rheoleiddiol wedi ei lunio ar gyfer y Gorchymyn hwn, gan na ragwelir y bydd yn effeithio o gwbl ar gostau busnes na'r sector gwirfoddol.
