# INTRODUCTION

1.  By this action, we propose to amend Parts 2, 73, 74, 80, 90, and 97
    of our Rules in order to implement domestically various allocation
    decisions from International Telecommunication Union (\"ITU\") World
    Radiocommunication Conferences[^1] concerning the frequency bands
    below 28000 kilohertz (\"kHz\").[^2] The most significant of these
    proposals is to reallocate high frequency (\"HF\")[^3] spectrum from
    the fixed and mobile services[^4] to the broadcasting service.[^5]
    The long-range propagation characteristics of HF frequencies enable
    audio programs to be received directly by the general public in
    countries far from the country of origin, and thus HF broadcasting
    (\"HFBC\") is also known as international broadcasting.
    Specifically, we propose to make an additional 1540 kilohertz of
    spectrum available exclusively for use by international broadcast
    stations, with 850 kilohertz immediately available and the remainder
    available after a transition period that ends on April 1, 2007.
    Until the completion of the transition period, fixed and mobile
    stations in that spectrum would be allowed to continue to operate on
    a primary basis; after that date, these stations would be allowed to
    continue to operate on the condition that \"harmful interference\"
    is not caused to the broadcasting service.[^6] This action would
    significantly increase the amount of spectrum available to
    international broadcasters on a worldwide basis, thus facilitating
    the provision of information and entertainment to people throughout
    the world.[^7] In addition, we propose to update our Rules for
    international broadcast stations (Part 73, Subpart F) in order to
    add the new frequency bands and to otherwise conform to
    international regulations.

2.  We also propose to make various minor amendments to our U.S. Table
    of Frequency Allocations (\"U.S. Table\") and to several of our
    service rules. In particular, we propose to clarify the status of
    services operating in the AM Expanded Band (1605-1705 kHz). To
    prevent the licensing of Industrial/Business Pool stations (which no
    longer have an allocation in the AM Expanded Band) during the
    pendency of this proceeding, we will no longer accept applications
    for new licenses or modifications or renewals of existing licenses
    for frequencies in the band 1605-1705 kHz and applicants with such
    pending applications will be given the opportunity to specify other
    frequencies.[^8] We also propose to permit stations in the
    Industrial/Business Pool and radiolocation service that are assigned
    frequencies in the band 1605-1705 kHz to continue to operate until
    the end of their current license term on a non-interference basis
    (\"NIB\") to AM radio stations and travelers\' information stations
    (\"TIS\"), without an opportunity for renewal. In addition, we
    propose to permit remote pickup broadcast stations to continue
    operations in the band 26100-26175 kHz, to remove outdated
    regulations in the aeronautical fixed and amateur radio services,
    and to make six new frequencies available for forest product
    licensees in limited geographic areas of the country. In sum, the
    actions proposed herein would update our Rules for frequency bands
    below 28000 kHz so that they better comport with international
    regulations, would update various rule parts to effectuate the
    allocation changes, and would otherwise clean-up rules that have not
    recently been reviewed.

# DISCUSSION

## International Broadcast Stations

### Background

3.  In the United States, international broadcast stations transmit on
    frequencies between 5950 kHz and 26100 kHz.[^9] These stations can
    be received at great distances because their signals bounce off the
    ionosphere and rebound to Earth, often thousands of miles from their
    origination. Numerous factors affect the reception of these
    transmissions, including the time of day, climate, and atmospheric
    noise, as well as co-channel and adjacent channel interference from
    other international broadcast stations around the world. Unlike
    other broadcasting services where frequencies are assigned on a
    permanent basis, international broadcasters are assigned frequencies
    on a seasonal basis to account for changes in propagation
    conditions, changing programming needs, and interference conditions.
    The United States participates in international frequency
    coordination meetings to reduce potential harmful interference to or
    from foreign HF broadcasts.

4.  Most international broadcast stations are operated by national
    governments. However, HFBC programs originating in the United States
    are provided by both Government run[^10] and privately operated
    stations. We license international broadcast stations to private
    entities under Part 73, Subpart F of our Rules.[^11] Currently there
    are 24 private sector licensees that are authorized to operate 67
    transmitters. While these private sector licensees may operate on
    either a commercial or a non-profit basis, most are currently
    religious entities operating on a non-profit basis.

5.  Internationally, 2930 kilohertz of spectrum in eight HF frequency
    bands is allocated to the broadcasting service on a primary,
    exclusive basis throughout the world. These bands are listed in
    Table 1, below. In addition, the band 7100-7300 kHz is allocated to
    the broadcasting service on an exclusive basis in ITU Region 1 and
    Region 3.[^12] On the condition that harmful interference is not
    caused to the broadcasting service, fixed stations communicating
    within national borders may continue to use frequencies in the bands
    9775-9900 kHz, 11650-11700 kHz and 11975-12050 kHz.[^13]

  --------------- -------------------------- ------------ -----------------

7.  WARC-92 recognized the difficulty that might be encountered by the
    reallocation. In particular, WARC-92 resolved that \"administrations
    should no longer notify any frequency assignments to stations of the
    fixed and mobile services in the reallocated bands;\" and, because
    \"some existing fixed and mobile assignments may need to be removed
    progressively from the \[reallocated\] bands to make way for the
    broadcasting service,\" it established a transition period that
    lasts until April 1, 2007.[^17] In order to implement this decision,
    WARC-92 deleted the direct Table allocations for the fixed and
    mobile services from these bands and adopted four international
    footnotes to the Table of Frequency Allocations in the ITU *Radio
    Regulations* (S5.136, S5.143, S5.146, and S5.151) that permit these
    incumbent services to continue to operate on a primary basis until
    April 1, 2007.[^18] These four international footnotes are exactly
    the same except for the incumbent services identified by each for
    the relevant band.[^19]

8.  In making additional spectrum available for exclusive international
    broadcasting use, it was internationally agreed that use of the
    WARC-92 HFBC bands would be limited to more spectrum efficient
    technologies such as single-sideband (\"SSB\") emissions.[^20]
    Consequently, once the international transition period concludes on
    April 1, 2007, continued use of traditional double-sideband
    (\"DSB\") emissions in the WARC-92 HFBC bands would be permitted
    only if such use does not cause harmful interference to HFBC
    stations using more spectrum efficient technologies.[^21] This
    restriction is found in international footnote S5.134, which reads
    as follows:

> S5.134 The use of the bands 5900-5950 kHz, 7300-7350 kHz,
> 9400-9500 kHz, 11600-11650 kHz, 12050-12100 kHz, 13570-13600 kHz,
> 13800-13870 kHz, 15600-15800 kHz, 17480-17550 kHz and 18900-19020 kHz
> by the broadcasting service is limited to single-sideband emissions
> with the characteristics specified in Appendix S11[^22] or to any
> other spectrum-efficient modulation techniques recommended by ITU-R.
> Access to these bands shall be subject to the decisions of a competent
> conference.

In sum, international broadcast stations are currently making extensive
use of the WARC-92 HFBC bands on the condition that harmful interference
is not caused to stations in the fixed and mobile services. On April 1,
2007, the international transition period concludes and the status of
these radiocommunication services is reversed, *i.e.*, the WARC-92 HFBC
bands will be allocated exclusively to the broadcasting service, and on
the condition that harmful interference is not caused to HFBC reception,
stations of the fixed and mobile services may continue their operations.

9.  In the United States, the frequency bands reallocated to the
    broadcasting service by the 1979 World Administrative Radio
    Conference (\"WARC-79\") and WARC-92 are available for shared
    Federal and non-Federal Government use.[^23] In our implementation
    of the *WARC-79 Final Acts*, we reallocated the WARC-79 HFBC bands
    from the fixed service to the broadcasting service.[^24] However, we
    also adopted footnote US235, which states that the WARC-79 HFBC
    bands are alternatively allocated to the fixed service until HFBC
    implementation procedures and schedules are determined.
    Subsequently, we adopted special provisions regarding non-Federal
    Government use of spectrum allocated to the fixed and land mobile
    services below 25000 kHz.[^25] As a result of these provisions, no
    non-Federal Government fixed assignments exist in the WARC-79 HFBC
    bands. In contrast, Federal agencies have 656 fixed station
    assignments in the WARC-79 HFBC bands.[^26]

10. In the United States, the WARC-92 HFBC bands are currently allocated
    to the fixed service on a primary basis. In addition, four of the
    WARC-92 HFBC bands are allocated to the mobile service.
    Specifically, the band 5900-5950 kHz is allocated to the mobile
    except aeronautical mobile (R) service on a primary basis and the
    band 7300-7350 kHz is allocated to the mobile service on a secondary
    basis. The bands 13570-13600 kHz and 13800-13870 kHz are allocated
    to the mobile except aeronautical mobile (R) service on a secondary
    basis for Federal Government use. We currently have 184 fixed
    station and 21 coast station assignments in the WARC-92 HFBC bands.
    Of these fixed station assignments, 162 are used by telephone, gas,
    and power companies to provide long distance backup communications;
    17 are used by Alaska private-fixed stations, and 5 are used for
    aeronautical fixed purposes.[^27] In contrast to this relatively
    light non-Federal Government use, Federal agencies have 1533
    assignments in the WARC‑92 HFBC bands.

### Proposals

11. The United States, like many other countries, has long exercised its
    right to operate international broadcast stations on frequencies
    outside the bands allocated to the broadcasting service.[^28] Such
    use is referred to as \"out-of-band\" operation. Such stations
    operate on the condition that they not cause harmful interference
    to, nor claim protection from, stations operating in accordance with
    the ITU Table of Frequency Allocations. Because of \"congestion\" in
    the allocated HFBC spectrum, much of U.S. international broadcasting
    is operating out-of-band on frequencies allocated to the fixed and
    mobile services.[^29] This extensive out-of-band operation, which
    increases the risk of harmful interference, would be reduced and
    spectrum efficiency improved if we allocate additional HFBC spectrum
    in conformance with the ITU *Radio Regulations*.[^30]

12. We observe that the WARC-79 HFBC bands became effective
    provisionally in 1999.[^31] Therefore, we propose to delete the
    fixed service from the WARC-79 HFBC bands, thereby making this
    spectrum available exclusively to the broadcasting service,[^32] and
    to add these bands to the rules for international broadcast
    stations.[^33] This action would provide international broadcasters
    with an additional 850 kilohertz of spectrum. We anticipate that
    this action would permit significantly more HFBC stations to operate
    in bands allocated exclusively to the broadcasting service, thereby
    reducing the need to coordinate with fixed stations. Regarding
    incumbent operations, the National Telecommunications and
    Information Administration (\"NTIA\")[^34] has informed us that,
    consistent with international footnote S5.147,[^35] Federal agencies
    would continue to operate fixed stations in three of the WARC-79
    HFBC bands (9775-9900 kHz, 11650-11700 kHz, and 11975-12050 kHz) and
    that these fixed stations will operate on the condition that harmful
    interference is not caused to the broadcasting service.[^36]
    Accordingly, we propose to adopt the following United States
    footnote:

> USxxx On the condition that harmful interference is not caused to the
> broadcasting service, frequencies in the bands 9775-9900 kHz,
> 11650-11700 kHz, and 11975-12050 kHz may be used by Federal Government
> stations in the fixed service communicating within the United States
> and its insular areas that are authorized as of \[adoption date for
> the Report and Order\]. Each such station shall be limited to a total
> radiated power of 24 dBW.

13. With regard to the WARC-92 HFBC bands, we observe that exclusive
    broadcasting use is to become effective on April 1, 2007.[^37]
    However, until the transition period has concluded, we anticipate
    that fixed and mobile use will continue to be the main use of these
    bands in the United States. Therefore, in derogation of the ITU
    *Radio Regulations*, we propose to maintain the existing direct
    Table allocations to the fixed and mobile services in the WARC-92
    HFBC bands at this time in order to highlight the main use of these
    bands. We propose this action at the request of NTIA.[^38]
    Accordingly, we propose to allocate this 690 kilohertz of spectrum
    to the broadcasting service on a shared primary basis with existing
    fixed and mobile services and to add these bands to Part 73, Subpart
    F of our Rules.[^39] We anticipate that this action would ultimately
    permit most international broadcast stations to operate in bands
    allocated exclusively to the broadcasting service. As a consequence
    of maintaining direct Table allocations for the fixed and mobile
    services, we propose to adopt a new United States footnote in lieu
    of international footnotes S5.136, S5.143, S5.146, and S5.151, which
    would read as follows:

> USyyy On April 1, 2007, the bands 5900-5950 kHz, 7300-7350 kHz,
> 9400-9500 kHz, 11600-11650 kHz, 12050-12100 kHz, 13570-13600 kHz,
> 13800-13870 kHz, 15600-15800 kHz, 17480-17550 kHz, and 18900-19020 kHz
> shall be allocated exclusively to the broadcasting service. On or
> after April 1, 2007, frequencies in these bands may be used by
> stations in the fixed and mobile services, communicating only within
> the United States and its insular areas, on the condition that harmful
> interference is not caused to the broadcasting service. When using
> frequencies in the fixed and mobile services, licensees shall be
> limited to the minimum power required and shall take account of the
> seasonal use of frequencies by the broadcasting service published in
> accordance with Article S12 of the ITU *Radio Regulations*.[^40]

14. We also propose to cease issuing licenses for new non-Federal
    Government stations in the fixed and mobile services in the WARC-92
    HFBC bands on April 1, 2007, consistent with the proposed allocation
    changes for these services. We anticipate that these requirements
    can be met in other HF bands allocated to the fixed and mobile
    services. With regard to non-Federal Government fixed and mobile
    licenses granted in the WARC-92 HFBC bands prior to the adoption of
    a Report and Order in this proceeding, we instruct the Wireless
    Telecommunications Bureau to add an informational note on these
    licenses that the authorization may be conditioned as a result of
    action taken in this proceeding.

15. With regard to incumbent use of the WARC-92 HFBC bands, we observe
    the following. The Commission and NTIA are currently licensing
    international broadcast stations in the WARC-92 HFBC bands on the
    condition that harmful interference is not caused to the fixed and
    mobile services. As such, HFBC use of frequencies in the WARC-92
    HFBC bands is currently coordinated to ensure that fixed and mobile
    assignments are protected. However, on April 1, 2007, the ITU
    transition period will end, and stations in the fixed or mobile
    service that continue to operate in the WARC-92 HFBC bands must not
    cause harmful interference to HFBC reception.

16. We anticipate that the WARC-92 HFBC bands will be more heavily used
    by international broadcast stations after April 1, 2007 because HFBC
    stations will no longer need to protect fixed and mobile operations
    and because some HFBC stations now operating in other bands will
    move to these frequencies. Thus, fixed and mobile licensees may wish
    to consider moving to other bands prior to April 1, 2007, especially
    if their current license expires prior to that time, because of the
    expected difficulty of co-channel sharing between high-powered,
    directional international broadcast stations and stations operating
    in other services.[^41] In this regard, we observe that equipment
    used by licensees in the fixed service below 25000 kHz is required
    to be \"capable of transmitting and receiving on any frequency in
    the bands assigned to the particular operation and capable of
    immediate change among the frequencies,\" *i.e.*, the equipment is
    tunable.[^42] It is our experience that maritime mobile equipment in
    this frequency range is also tunable. Given that there are other HF
    bands allocated to the fixed and mobile services and that existing
    equipment is tunable to these frequencies, we tentatively find that
    fixed and mobile assignments now using the WARC-92 HFBC bands could
    continue operations using other HF spectrum after the April 1, 2007
    effective date for exclusive HFBC use. We request comment on the
    ease and feasibility of retuning fixed and mobile operations out of
    the WARC-92 HFBC bands. Specifically, are there significant costs or
    hardships associated with fixed and mobile licensees retuning to
    frequencies outside of the WARC-92 HFBC bands and if so, what
    actions could mitigate such impact? Finally, as a consequence of the
    upcoming reallocation, we propose to add informational notes to Part
    80 (the maritime service rules) stating that radioprinter use of the
    bands 5900-5950 kHz and 7300-7350 kHz and Alaska private-fixed
    station use of the frequency 11601.5 kHz will be on the condition
    that harmful interference is not caused to HF broadcasting.[^43] We
    request comment on these proposals and assumptions.

17. We decline to propose to adopt domestically international footnote
    S5.134, which limits the use of the WARC-92 HFBC bands to SSB
    emissions or to any other spectrum-efficient modulation technique
    recommended by the ITU Radiocommunication Sector (\"ITU-R\").[^44]
    We take this action at the request of the Broadcasting Board of
    Governors (\"BBG\").[^45] BBG states that it is actively seeking the
    flexibility to use traditional DSB transmitters in the WARC-92 HFBC
    bands on a primary basis, effective April 1, 2007, as part of the
    United States\' preparation for the 2003 World Radiocommunication
    Conference (\"WRC-03\"). BBG avers that international broadcasters
    will not use SSB techniques because recent ITU studies demonstrate
    extremely limited availability of SSB receivers.[^46] BBG also
    contends that SSB receivers are substantially more expensive than
    traditional DSB receivers,[^47] but do not provide any improvement
    in audio quality and thus, are unlikely to ever displace DSB
    receivers in the less developed nations. Instead, BBG believes that
    international broadcasters will use digital transmission and states
    that it is working toward rapid implementation of digital
    technology. We observe that digital transmission is expected to
    provide the means to achieve the optimum balance among sound
    quality, circuit reliability, and bandwidth. Digitally modulated
    emissions can, in general, also provide more efficient coverage than
    amplitude-modulated transmissions by using fewer simultaneous
    frequencies and less power.[^48] However, BBG anticipates that
    inexpensive digital HF radios will not be available before late 2003
    and that it will be many years before there are a substantial number
    of such consumer radio receivers, especially in the less developed
    areas of the world. Accordingly, we tentatively find that footnote
    S5.134 is currently inadequate to meet the needs of international
    broadcasters.[^49]

18. In order to bring the Commission's Rules for international broadcast
    stations into conformance with current international
    provisions,[^50] we propose to make the following amendments to Part
    73, Subpart F. First, we propose to amend Section 73.756(c)[^51] by
    revising the frequency tolerance of 0.0015 percent of the assigned
    frequency to the current ITU standard of 10 hertz.[^52] We request
    comment on the number of HFBC stations currently operating that meet
    the more stringent standard. Further, we request comment on whether
    it is feasible to modify existing transmitters to meet this
    standard. If so, what costs are involved? Additionally, we request
    that commenters address the effects that grandfathering existing
    stations at their current frequency tolerance would have on this
    service.[^53] Second, we propose to revise various HFBC definitions
    in Section 73.701 of our Rules[^54] to reflect international
    requirements as specified in the *WRC-97 Final Acts*. In particular,
    we observe that internationally the number of seasonal
    schedules[^55] per year has been reduced from four to two.[^56]
    Third, we propose to delete the band 25600-25670 kHz from the list
    of frequencies available to HFBC stations in Part 73 of our Rules.
    This band is not currently used by HFBC stations and this proposal
    would conform our Rules to the ITU\'s Table of Frequency Allocations
    and thus, protect radio astronomy observations in this frequency
    range.[^57] Fourth, we propose to clarify how the band 7100-7300 kHz
    may be used by international broadcast stations.[^58] Fifth, we
    propose to replace the map depicting geographical zones or areas of
    reception (\"target zone map\") in Section 73.703[^59] with the
    current ITU target zone map. Sixth, we propose to modify the last
    sentence of Section 73.766[^60] to change the highest modulating
    frequency from 5 kilohertz to 4.5 kilohertz to reflect a
    long-standing international provision.[^61] We believe that our HFBC
    licensees have already made this technical change. The adoption of
    these proposals would make our Rules easier to use and would avoid
    the confusion that could result from different Commission and
    international requirements for international broadcast operations.
    We request comment on all of the above proposals.

## AM Expanded Band

19. In 1983, the Commission began a process to improve and revitalize
    the AM broadcast service that included the expansion of its
    available frequencies to include the band 1605-1705 kHz (\"AM
    Expanded Band\").[^62] At that time, the primary fixed, land mobile,
    maritime mobile, aeronautical radionavigation, and radiolocation
    allocations were deleted from the band 1605-1705 kHz.[^63] As
    licensees have recently begun service using the AM Expanded Band, we
    are finding that several issues affecting this spectrum need to be
    addressed.[^64]

20. We observe that, when the land mobile allocation was deleted from
    the band 1605-1705 kHz in 1983, frequencies within this band were
    inadvertently not removed from Parts 74 and 90 of our Rules.
    Specifically, the frequencies 1606 kHz, 1622 kHz, and 1646 kHz are
    listed in Section 74.402(a)(1); the frequency 1630 kHz is listed in
    Section 90.20(c)(3); the frequencies 1614 kHz, 1628 kHz, 1652 kHz,
    1676 kHz, and 1700 kHz are listed in Section 90.35(b)(3), and the
    band 1605-1705 kHz is listed in Section 90.263. We note that
    approximately 25 AM radio stations are operating in the Expanded
    Band, that a total of 67 AM radio stations are anticipated to be
    operating in this spectrum within the next 18 months, and that over
    275 Federal and 568[^65] non-Federal Government low power (10 watts)
    TIS stations currently operate on AM channels between these
    high-powered AM radio stations. In particular, we note that Federal
    Government TIS stations operating on the frequency 1610 kHz have
    primary status. Therefore, we tentatively find that there is no
    spectrum available for any other use. Accordingly, we propose to
    remove these frequencies from Parts 74 and 90 of our Rules.[^66]

21. To prevent the licensing of Public Safety, Industrial/Business Pool,
    and remote pickup stations in the AM Expanded Band during the
    pendency of this proceeding, such applications will no longer be
    granted. We will no longer accept applications for new licenses or
    modifications or renewals of existing licenses for frequencies
    within the band 1605-1705 kHz as of the effective date of this
    *Notice of Proposed Rule Making and Order* (\"*Notice and Order*\").
    Any such applications received on or after that date will be
    returned as unacceptable for filing. Pending applications will be
    dismissed, unless they are modified to specify alternative
    frequencies. We take this action to permit the orderly and effective
    resolution of the issue of mobile services (excluding TIS) operating
    in the AM Expanded Band. We anticipate this action will have minimal
    impact because very few such applications are received from Public
    Safety, Industrial/Business Pool, and remote pickup eligibles to
    operate in this band and because alternative land mobile spectrum is
    available.[^67]

22. The band 1605-1705 kHz also is allocated to the radiolocation
    service on a secondary basis for use by both Federal and non-Federal
    Government licensees.[^68] This allocation is codified in footnote
    US238.[^69] While our rules have long recommended that radiolocation
    stations operating in the band 1605-1705 kHz be relocated to the
    band 1900-2000 kHz, two non-Federal Government radiolocation
    licensees continue to operate in this spectrum.[^70] Therefore, in
    order to better protect the technical integrity of AM Expanded Band,
    we propose to delete the radiolocation service from the band
    1605-1705 kHz in both the Federal and non-Federal Government Table
    of Frequency Allocations. Consistent with this action, we also
    propose to remove the band 1605-1705 kHz from the Radiolocation
    Service Frequency Table in Section 90.103 of our Rules and to delete
    unneeded assignment limitations.[^71] Finally, we have had
    discussions with NTIA concerning the Federal Government\'s
    radiolocation assignments in the sub-band 1615-1705 kHz. NTIA has
    agreed to relocate all of these assignments within one year of the
    adoption date of the Report and Order in this proceeding.[^72]
    During this one-year transition period, we propose to permit these
    Federal Government radiolocation stations to continue to operate on
    the condition that harmful interference is not caused to AM or TIS
    reception. In addition, NTIA has agreed to relocate out of the AM
    Expanded Band all Federal Government stations currently operating in
    this spectrum without an allocation.[^73] According, we propose to
    adopt a new United States footnote, which would read as follows:

> USwww On the condition that harmful interference is not caused to the
> reception of AM broadcast stations or to travelers\' information
> stations, Federal Government stations in the band 1615-1705 kHz may
> continue operations until \[one year from the adoption date of the
> Report and Order\].

23. While there are no Public Safety or remote pickup licensees
    currently operating in the AM Expanded Band, four
    Industrial/Business Pool and two radiolocation licensees operate in
    this spectrum. (*See* Appendix C for information on these
    licensees.) We propose to permit these currently licensed stations
    to continue to operate until the end of their current license term
    on a NIB basis to AM radio and TIS stations, without an opportunity
    for renewal.[^74] Additionally, if we determine that any of these
    stations in the Industrial/Business Pool or radiolocation service is
    causing harmful interference to either an AM radio or TIS station,
    we propose to require that the station immediately cease
    transmission. Commission staff will work with affected licensees to
    help them find suitable alternative channels if the licensee
    desires.[^75]^,^ [^76] We propose that no fee be charged to
    licensees of affected stations that apply for modification for
    alternative channels before the end of their license term.

24. In 1991, the Commission decided that in Alaska the band 1615-1705
    kHz would be allocated to the maritime mobile and Alaska fixed
    services on a secondary basis to Region 2 broadcast operations.[^77]
    According, we are adding an informational note to various Part 80
    fixed service frequencies reflecting this status.[^78] These and
    other proposed minor changes to the U.S. Table are shown in Appendix
    A.[^79] We request comment on all of the above AM Expanded Band
    proposals.

## Continued Use of the Frequencies 26110 kHz, 26130 kHz, 26150 kHz, and 26170 kHz by Broadcast Auxiliary Remote Pickup Stations

25. The band 26100-26175 kHz was reallocated from the land mobile
    service to the maritime mobile service in 1983.[^80] At that time,
    four land mobile frequencies within the reallocated band were not
    removed from Part 74 of our Rules. Thus, Section 74.402(a) of our
    Rules continues to state that the following frequencies may be
    assigned for use by remote broadcast stations and broadcast network
    entities: 26110 kHz, 26130 kHz, 26150 kHz, and 26170 kHz.[^81] In
    our maritime service rules, the frequency 26110 kHz is available for
    assignment to public coast stations for narrow-band direct-printing
    (\"NBDP\") and data transmissions,[^82] the frequency 26130 kHz is
    available for assignment to coast stations for facsimile
    transmissions,[^83] the frequency 26151 kHz is available for
    assignment to public coast stations for public correspondence,[^84]
    and the frequency 26172 is available for assignment to public coast
    stations for call and reply communications.[^85] A review of our
    licensing database shows the following number of remote pickup
    licenses for these four frequencies: 89 licenses for 26110 kHz, 83
    licenses for 26130 kHz, 66 licenses for 26150 kHz, and 19 licenses
    for 26170 kHz. In contrast, there are currently no public coast
    station licensees making use of these four frequencies. We
    tentatively find that remote pickup stations can share these
    frequencies with coast stations because of the intermittent nature
    of their use and because of light coast station demand for these and
    adjacent frequencies. Nonetheless, if coast station licensees later
    require use of these four frequencies, we propose to require that
    remote pickup stations not cause harmful interference to the
    reception of these coast station transmissions. Accordingly, we
    propose to revise footnote US25 to read as follows:

> US25 The use of frequencies in the band 25850-26175 kHz may be
> authorized to non-Federal Government remote pickup broadcast base and
> mobile stations on the condition that harmful interference is not
> caused to the reception of either international broadcast stations
> transmitting in the band 25850-26100 kHz or coast stations
> transmitting in the band 26100-26175 kHz.

We request comment on this proposal.

## Maritime Services

26. The maritime mobile bands are used primarily to communicate between
    and among fixed coast stations, ships and other offshore vessels.
    The maritime radionavigation bands are used primarily to determine
    the position, velocity, and other characteristics of objects for the
    benefit and safe operation of ships. National planning for the
    maritime services closely follows international regulations. We
    regulate the non-Federal Government stations in the maritime
    services under Part 80 of our Rules.

27. The band 285-325 kHz is Federal/non-Federal Government shared
    spectrum that is allocated to the maritime radionavigation service
    on a primary basis, limited to radiobeacons.[^86] This band is also
    being used by Federal agencies for the provision of differential
    global positioning system (\"DGPS\") information.[^87] NTIA
    currently authorizes this function through footnote G121 of its
    *Manual*, but this footnote has not previously been coordinated with
    the Commission.[^88] We believe that because the band 285-325 kHz is
    shared spectrum, footnote G121 should be reclassified as a United
    States footnote.[^89] Accordingly, we propose to adopt footnote
    USzzz, which would read as follows:

> USzzz Consistent with US18,[^90] stations may be authorized on a
> primary basis in the band 285-325 kHz for the specific purpose of
> transmitting differential global positioning system information.

28. The frequency 500 kHz is the international distress and calling
    frequency for Morse radiotelegraphy in the mobile service.[^91] A
    narrower 10 kilohertz guard band requirement (495-505 kHz) became
    effective in February 1999,[^92] when the Global Maritime Distress
    and Safety System (\"GMDSS\") became fully implemented.[^93]
    Recently, we proposed to delete 500 kHz as a distress and safety
    frequency from our maritime rules because it is not currently in
    use.[^94] Thus, it is planned that at WRC-03, Member States will
    consider whether non-GMDSS requirements should be maintained in the
    ITU *Radio Regulations*.[^95] However, at this time, we need only to
    update our Rules by renumbering three international footnotes.
    Accordingly, we propose to renumber international footnotes 472,
    472A, and 474 as S5.83, S5.82, and S5.84, respectively.[^96]

29. The U.S. Coast Guard currently operates several NAVTEX stations on
    the frequency 518 kHz.[^97] The 1997 World Radiocommunication
    Conference (\"WRC-97\") adopted two requirements concerning NAVTEX
    operations. First, international footnote S5.131 requires that the
    frequency 4209.5 kHz be used exclusively for the transmission by
    coast stations of meteorological and navigational warnings and
    urgent information to ships by means of narrow-band direct-printing
    techniques.[^98] In its comments to another proceeding, the U.S.
    Coast Guard states that 4209.5 kHz is an internationally-recognized
    and used NAVTEX frequency, and that it plans to operate 4 MHz NAVTEX
    on a trial basis as a means of improving maritime safety broadcast
    service to mariners, and covering gaps in coverage of similar
    information broadcast on the International NAVTEX frequency 518
    kHz.[^99] The U.S. Coast Guard also states that the international
    use for safety purposes and propagation characteristics of this
    frequency obviates its use for any other purpose. Accordingly, we
    propose to adopt international footnote S5.131 domestically.

30. Second, international footnote S5.79A states that when establishing
    stations in the NAVTEX service on the frequencies 490 kHz, 518 kHz,
    and 4209.5 kHz, administrations are strongly recommended to
    coordinate the operating characteristics in accordance with the
    procedures of the International Maritime Organization. NAVTEX
    service is currently provided only by the Federal Government. NTIA
    requests that we adopt international footnote S5.79A domestically,
    and accordingly, we propose to do so.[^100]

31. In the bands 4000-4063 kHz and 8100-8195 kHz, we propose to delete
    the fixed service allocation because the transition period for
    reallocating this spectrum exclusively to the maritime mobile
    service has passed.[^101] We request comment on all of the above
    maritime proposals.

## Aeronautical Fixed Service

32. The aeronautical fixed service is a radiocommunication service
    between specified fixed points provided primarily for the safety of
    air navigation and for the regular, efficient and economical
    operation of air transport.[^102]

33. In Region 2, the band 160-190 kHz is allocated exclusively to the
    fixed service on a primary basis. Prior to the 1995 World
    Radiocommunication Conference (\"WRC-95\"), the band 160-190 kHz was
    allocated on a primary basis to the aeronautical fixed service,
    which is a subset of the fixed service, in Region 2 polar areas. At
    WRC-95, this limitation on the use of the fixed allocation in Region
    2 polar areas was eliminated, and thus internationally the band is
    now available for all fixed uses.[^103] The band 160-190 kHz is
    currently unused by the aeronautical fixed service, and accordingly
    we propose to delete the limitation to aeronautical fixed use from
    our Rules.[^104] We request comment on this proposal.

34. In the United States, the band 21850-21924 kHz is shared spectrum
    that is allocated to the fixed service on a primary basis. At
    WRC-95, fixed use of most of this band (21870-21924 kHz) was limited
    to the provision of services related to aircraft flight safety
    through the adoption of international footnote S5.155B. The Federal
    Aviation Administration (\"FAA\") has indicated that it does not
    intend to implement an aircraft flight safety system in this
    band.[^105] Thus, there is no apparent support on a domestic level
    for the adoption of this international limitation. However, we
    invite comment on whether S5.155B should be adopted domestically.

## Amateur Service

35. Amateur radio plays an important role in disaster-relief when normal
    communications systems are overloaded, damaged or disrupted because
    a disaster has occurred or is likely to occur.[^106] We note that
    WARC-79 adopted Resolution No. 640, entitled \"Relating to the
    International Use of Radiocommunications, in the Event of Natural
    Disasters, in Frequency Bands Allocated to the Amateur
    Service.\"[^107] The Resolution invited administrations to provide
    for the needs of international disaster communications and for the
    needs of emergency communications within their national regulations
    using certain amateur bands, which were listed in international
    footnote 510 (later renumbered as S5.120). In response, the
    Commission added international footnote 510 to the non-Federal
    Government Table of Frequency Allocations[^108] and Section
    97.401(b) to the rules for the amateur radio service,[^109] both of
    which referenced Resolution No. 640.[^110] At WRC-97, Resolution 640
    was eliminated, and at the 2000 World Radiocommunication Conference
    (\"WRC-2000\"), international footnote S5.120 was eliminated.[^111]
    Accordingly, we propose to delete international footnote S5.120 and
    Section 97.401(b) from our Rules. We observe that, under Sections
    97.111(a)(1)[^112] and 97.101(c)[^113] of our Rules, U.S. amateur
    radio stations can continue to communicate with foreign stations in
    disaster areas.[^114]

## Frequencies Available for Forest Products Licensees

36. The band 27540-28000 kHz is Federal Government exclusive spectrum
    that is allocated to the fixed and mobile services, except that
    limited non-Federal Government use is permitted by forest product
    licensees[^115] in certain geographic areas on six channels. This
    limited use is authorized in footnote US298. We propose to make
    editorial revisions to footnote US298 to conform with terminology
    now used in Part 90 of our Rules and to add these frequencies to the
    Industrial/Business Radio Pool Frequency Table in Section 90.35,
    with an appropriate note describing the limited use that is
    permitted.[^116] Revised footnote US298 would read as follows:

> US298 Channels 27555, 27615, 27635, 27655, 27765, and 27860 kHz are
> available for use by forest product licensees on a secondary basis to
> Federal Government operations including experimental stations.
> Non-Federal Government operations on these channels will not exceed
> 150 watts output power and are limited to the states of Washington,
> Oregon, Maine, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia,
> Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas (eastern portion).

We request comment on this proposal.

## Ministerial Conforming Amendments

37. We also propose to take the following non-substantive actions in
    this proceeding, which would correct and update our Table of
    Frequency Allocations.[^117] The effect of these actions would be to
    remove confusing and unnecessary material from our Rules and to
    reflect the *WRC-2000 Final Acts* with regard to the International
    Table of Frequency Allocations within our Rules. First, we would
    remove international footnote S5.60 from the bands 70-90 kHz and
    110-130 kHz because this footnote is a limitation on an allocation
    that was never made domestically.[^118] Second, we would remove
    superfluous international footnote S5.80 from the band 415-435 kHz
    because the limitation in that footnote does not apply to this band.
    Third, we would delete the secondary direct Table allocation for the
    space research service in the band 19990-19995 kHz because this
    allocation is also contained in footnote G106, which was recently
    added to the band 19990-20010 kHz.[^119] Fourth, we would delete
    pre-1991 frequencies listed for ship and coast station operations
    from footnote US82 (the post-1991 frequencies are already listed in
    the footnote). Fifth, we would make various editorial changes to
    other U.S. footnotes to conform to previous decisions and to update
    the material in the text, as specified in Appendix A.[^120] Sixth,
    we would add an informational note to Section 90.35 stating that the
    use of five frequencies is on a secondary basis to stations in the
    maritime mobile service.[^121] Seventh, we would update various rule
    part cross references in the U.S. Table. In particular, we would
    delete approximately 50 cross references to the International Fixed
    Public Radiocommunication Services (\"IFPRS\") because specific
    frequencies or bands are not listed in Part 23, which is the purpose
    of having a cross reference to a rule part.[^122] Eighth, we would
    update the text of 18 international country footnotes that do not
    apply to Region 2.[^123]

# PROCEDURAL MATTERS

**APPENDIX D: Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis**

As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (\"RFA\")[^128] the
Commission has prepared this Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
(\"IRFA\") of the possible significant economic impact on small entities
by the policies and rules proposed in this *Notice and Order*. Written
public comments are requested on this IRFA. Comments must be identified
as responses to the IRFA and must be filed by the deadlines for comments
on the *Notice and Order* provided above in Section III.C. The
Commission will send a copy of the *Notice*, including this IRFA, to the
Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration.[^129]
In addition, the *Notice and Order* and IRFA (or summaries thereof) will
be published in the Federal Register.[^130]

> **Need for, and Objectives of, the Proposed Rules.**

The *Notice and Order* proposes to implement domestically various
allocation changes that have been made at recent World
Radiocommunication Conferences. In particular, we propose to reallocate
1540 kilohertz of spectrum from the fixed and mobile services to the
broadcasting service. We also propose to make consequential changes to
various service rules. These proposals would update our Rules for bands
below 28000 kHz so that they better comport with international
regulations. In addition, we propose to clarify the status of services
in the AM Expanded Band (1605-1705 kHz).

> **Legal Basis.**

The proposed actions are authorized under Sections 1, 4, 301, 302(a),
303, 307, 309, 316, 332, 334, and 336 of the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended, 47 U.S.C. Sections 151, 154, 301, 302(a), 303, 307, 309,
316, 332, 334, and 336.

> Description and Estimate of the Number of Small Entities to Which the
> Proposed Rules Will Apply.

The RFA directs agencies to provide a description of, and, where
feasible, an estimate of the number of small entities that may be
affected by the proposed rules, if adopted.[^131] The RFA generally
defines the term \"small entity\" as having the same meaning as the
terms \"small business,\" \"small organization,\" and \"small
governmental jurisdiction.\"[^132] In addition, the term \"small
business\" has the same meaning as the term \"small business concern\"
under the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. § 632, unless the Commission has
developed one or more definitions that are appropriate to its
activities.[^133] A \"small business concern\" is one that: (1) is
independently owned and operated; (2) is not dominant in its field of
operation; and (3) meets any additional criteria established by the
Small Business Administration (\"SBA\").[^134]

**Fixed Service.** There are 162 fixed assignments authorized under
Section 90.266 for long distance communications,[^135] 17 Alaska
private-fixed assignments,[^136] and 5 aeronautical fixed station
assignments[^137] that operate in the bands proposed for reallocation.
The Commission has not yet defined a small business with respect to
these fixed services. For purposes of this IRFA, we will use the SBA\'s
definition applicable to radiotelephone (wireless) companies \-- *i.e.*,
an entity with no more than 1,500 persons.[^138] We believe that most of
the Section 90.266 licensees are telephone, gas, and power companies
that are not small businesses. We estimate that most of these fixed
service licensees would not qualify as small entities under the SBA
definition for radiotelephone (wireless) companies; therefore, less than
184 small entities would be impacted by the proposed reallocation.

**Maritime Service.** The Commission has not adopted a definition of
small entity specific to coast stations in the maritime service.[^139]
We will use the SBA\'s definition applicable to radiotelephone
(wireless) companies, *i.e.*, an entity employing no more than 1,500
persons.[^140] There are 4 public and 4 private coast station licensees
that operate in the bands proposed for reallocation, and we estimate
that almost all of them qualify as small under the SBA definition.

**International Broadcast Stations.** The SBA defines a radio
broadcasting station that has \$5 million or less in annual receipts as
a small business.[^141] A radio broadcasting station is an establishment
primarily engaged in broadcasting aural programs by radio to the
public.[^142] Included in this industry are commercial, religious,
educational, and other radio stations.[^143] The transmissions of
international broadcast stations are intended to be received directly by
the general public in foreign countries.[^144] There are 24
international broadcast licensees, and we estimate that almost all of
them qualify as small under the SBA definition.

**Private Land Mobile Radio Services.** The Commission has not adopted a
definition of small entity specific to private land mobile radio
services.[^145] We will use the SBA\'s definition applicable to
radiotelephone (wireless) companies, *i.e.*, an entity employing no more
than 1,500 persons.[^146] There are 4 Industrial/Business Pool licensees
and 2 radiolocation licensees in the AM Expanded Band, and we believe
that none of them qualify as small under the SBA definition.

> **Description of Projected Reporting, Recordkeeping, and Other
> Compliance Requirements.**

We propose no new reporting or recordkeeping requirements on small
entities; however, we do propose three compliance requirements that may
have a significant economic burden on small entities. First, if fixed or
coast station licensees determine that they can not operate in the
WARC-92 HFBC bands without causing harmful interference to international
broadcast stations, we propose that these licensees move to other fixed
or mobile frequencies. Those fixed and coast station licensees that move
to other assigned frequencies would have to pay a license modification
fee if they do not request such frequencies during renewal. We note that
162 of the 205 assignments in these bands operate on a non-interference,
unprotected basis internationally and that our proposed rules do not
change their status.[^147] In contrast, the status of the remaining 43
assignments would be affected by the proposed reallocation, that is,
these primary and protected assignments would be downgraded to
non-interference, unprotected status. These 43 assignments can be more
specifically classified as 21 coast station, 17 Alaska private-fixed,
and 5 aeronautical fixed assignments. We believe that all of the
affected stations use equipment that can be tuned to other HF bands
allocated to the fixed or mobile services and that there is sufficient
allocated spectrum available for this purpose. Accordingly, we believe
that any relocation costs would be *de minimus*; however, out of an
abundance of caution we are seeking comment in this IRFA as to actual
costs of this move. Second, we propose to adopt a stricter frequency
control tolerance for international broadcast stations. This requirement
may cause some of our licensees to have to modify their equipment. We
request comment on our analysis.

The band 1605-1705 kHz was reallocated from the land mobile service to
the broadcasting service in 1983. However, there are four
Industrial/Business Pool licensees in the AM Expanded Band. In addition,
there are two radiolocation licensees operating in the AM Expanded Band
on a secondary basis. In the *Notice and Order*, we propose to permit
these currently licensed stations to continue to operate until the end
of their current license term on a non-interference basis to AM radio
and TIS stations, without an opportunity for renewal.

> **Steps Taken to Minimize Significant Economic Impact on Small
> Entities, and Significant Alternatives Considered.**

The RFA requires an agency to describe any significant alternatives that
it has considered in reaching its proposed approach, which may include
the following four alternatives (among others): (1) the establishment of
differing compliance or reporting requirements or timetables that take
into account the resources available to small entities; (2) the
clarification, consolidation, or simplification of compliance or
reporting requirements under the rule for small entities; (3) the use of
performance, rather than design, standards; and (4) an exemption from
coverage of the rule, or any part thereof, for small entities.[^148]

As stated in number (1) above, one alternative that we are considering
is whether or not to allow small entities operating international
broadcast stations a longer time to transition from outdated equipment.
This transition would be necessary in instances in which equipment
cannot maintain the stringent tolerance required by the proposed rule.
We request that commenters address the effects of grandfathering
existing international broadcast stations at their current frequency
tolerance. See ¶ 18 of the *Notice and Order*. In addition, we request
comment on alternatives that could further minimize the impact of the
proposed frequency tolerance on small entities.

With regard to small entities operating in the AM Expanded Band,
Commission staff will work with affected licensees to help them find
suitable alternative channels if the licensee desires. No fee will be
charged to licensees of affected stations that apply for modification
for alternative channels before the end of their license term.

> **Federal Rules that May Duplicate, Overlap, or Conflict With the
> Proposed Rules.**

None.

[^1]: These ITU conferences were the 1992 World Administrative Radio
    Conference and the 1995, 1997, and 2000 World Radiocommunication
    Conferences (\"WRC-95, WRC-97, and WRC-2000\"). *See Final Acts of
    the World Administrative Radio Conference for Dealing with Frequency
    Allocations in Certain Parts of the Spectrum (WARC-92)*,
    Malaga-Torremolinos, 1992 (\"*WARC-92 Final Acts*\"); *Final Acts of

    Final Acts*\"); and *Final Acts of the World Radiocommunication
    Conference (WRC-2000*), Istanbul, 2000 (\"*WRC-2000 Final Acts*\").
    We will consider those allocation decisions concerning frequency
    bands above 28000 kHz that have not previously been considered in
    separate, future rulemakings.

[^2]: 28000 kHz may also be referred to as 28 megahertz (\"MHz\"). To be
    consistent with the nomenclature in the portion of the Table of
    Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, that addresses this
    frequency range, frequencies are being expressed in terms of
    kilohertz herein.

[^3]: The frequency range from 3000 kHz to 30000 kHz is denoted as HF.
    *See* 47 C.F.R. § 2.101. In the metric system, it is called the
    shortwave range, and expressed in wavelength it lies between 100
    meters and 10 meters. Thus, international broadcasting is also known
    as shortwave broadcasting.

[^4]: The fixed service is defined as a radiocommunication service
    between specified fixed points; a station in the fixed service is a
    fixed station. The mobile service is defined as a radiocommunication
    service between mobile and land stations, or between mobile
    stations. *See* 47 C.F.R. § 2.1.

[^5]: The broadcasting service is defined as a radiocommunication
    service in which the transmissions are intended for direct reception
    by the general public. *Id.* While this service may include sound
    transmissions, television transmissions or other types of
    transmission, the narrow channel bandwidth assignments made in this
    frequency range limit its use to sound transmissions.

[^6]: Interference is the effect of unwanted energy due to one or a
    combination of emissions, radiations, or inductions upon reception
    in a radiocommunication system, manifested by any performance
    degradation, misinterpretation, or loss of information which could
    be extracted in the absence of such unwanted energy. Harmful
    interference is interference which endangers the functioning of a
    radionavigation service or of other safety services or seriously
    degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a radiocommunication
    service operating in accordance with the ITU *Radio Regulations*.
    *Id.*

[^7]: Essentially all HFBC channels are 9 kHz, *i.e.*, the necessary
    bandwidth for a double-sideband (\"DSB\") system may not exceed 9
    kHz. The DSB assignment criteria may be either 5 kHz or 10 kHz.
    Specifically, the nominal spacing for a DSB system is 10 kHz.
    However, interleaved channels with a separation of 5 kHz may be used
    in accordance with the relative protection criteria, provided that
    the interleaved emission is not to the same geographic area as
    either of the emissions between which it is interleaved. *See* ITU
    *Radio Regulations*, Appendix S11, DSB system parameters, ¶¶ 1.1,
    2.4. Prior to January 1, 1999, 2080 kilohertz of exclusive HFBC
    spectrum was allocated on a worldwide basis, which was divided into
    207 channels (assumes a 10 kHz spacing between HFBC channels in the
    same geographic area). These allocations have previously been added
    to Part 73, Subpart F of our Rules. On January 1, 1999, an
    additional 850 kilohertz of exclusive HFBC spectrum became available
    on a worldwide basis. On April 1, 2007, another 690 kilohertz of
    exclusive HFBC spectrum is planned to become available on a
    worldwide basis. Thus, if these allocations are adopted
    domestically, there would ultimately be a 74% increase in exclusive
    HFBC spectrum, which would be divided into an additional 160
    channels.

[^8]: *See* ¶ 21, *infra.*

[^9]: *See* 47 C.F. R. § 73.701. This regulation is grounded in the
    general sub-section of Article 23 of the ITU *Radio Regulations*
    describing the broadcasting service, which reads as follows: \"In
    principle, except in the frequency band 3900-4000 kHz, broadcasting
    stations using frequencies below 5060 kHz or above 41 MHz shall not
    employ power exceeding that necessary to maintain economically an
    effective national service of good quality within the frontiers of
    the country concerned.\" *See* ITU *Radio Regulations*, Edition of
    1998 (\"ITU *Radio Regulations*\"), Article 23, No. S23.3.

[^10]: All U.S. Government and government sponsored, non-military,
    international broadcasting has recently been consolidated under the
    Broadcasting Board of Governors (\"BBG\"). BBG\'s HF broadcasters
    are the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio
    Marti, and Radio Free Asia. *See* 1998 Foreign Affairs Reform and
    Restructuring Act (Public Law 105-277). For more information, see
    the \"International Broadcasting Bureau\" page at
    http://www.ibb.gov/. BBG is a Federal agency that is a member of
    \"IRAC;\" s*ee* note Error: Reference source not found, *infra.*

[^11]: *See* 47 C.F.R. Part 73, Subpart F\--International Broadcast
    Stations. For more information, see the \"FCC HF Broadcasting Page\"
    at <http://www.fcc.gov/ib/pnd/neg/hf_web/hf.html>.

[^12]: The ITU divides the world into three geographic Regions. The
    United States is in Region 2, which includes North and South
    America. In Region 2, the band 7100-7300 kHz is allocated to the
    amateur service on a primary basis, but its use \"shall not impose
    constraints on the broadcasting service intended for use within
    Region 1 and Region 3.\" *See* 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, international
    footnote S5.142. The rest of the world is in Regions 1 and 3. *See*
    47 C.F.R. § 2.104 for the official definition of the three ITU
    Regions.

[^13]: International footnote S5.147 reads as follows: \"On condition
    that harmful interference is not caused to the broadcasting service,
    frequencies in the bands 9775-9900 kHz, 11650-11700 kHz and
    11975-12050 kHz may be used by stations in the fixed service
    communicating only within the boundary of the country in which they
    are located, each station using a total radiated power not exceeding
    24 dBW.\"

[^14]: These bands were allocated to the broadcasting service at the
    1979 World Administrative Radio Conference (\"WARC-79\") and thus
    are known as WARC-79 HFBC bands; however, broadcasting use of these
    bands was on the basis that it not cause harmful interference to the
    fixed service until the incumbent fixed stations could be relocated.
    *See Final Acts of the World Administrative Radio Conference,
    Geneva, 1979* (\"*WARC-79 Final Acts*\"), international footnote
    531. At WRC-95, the WARC-79 HFBC allocations were made effective on
    an interim basis from January 1, 1996, taking into account that
    fixed service use of the WARC-79 bands could continue as described
    in footnote S5.148. *See WRC-95 Final Acts*, Resolution 529. At
    WRC-97, international footnote S5.148 was deleted, effective January
    1, 1999. *See WRC-97 Final Acts*, Article S59.

[^15]: At WARC-79, the band 25600-25670 kHz was reallocated from the
    broadcasting service to the radio astronomy service. *See* ¶ 18,
    *infra.*

[^16]: As noted in ¶ 5, *supra*, the band 7100-7300 kHz is allocated to
    the broadcasting service on an exclusive basis in ITU Regions 1 and
    3.

[^17]: \"Assignments notified in these bands after 1 April 1992 shall
    bear a symbol to indicate that the finding will be examined by the
    Bureau as of 1 April 2007 in accordance with the provisions of No.
    S11.31.\" *See* ITU *Radio Regulations*, Resolution 21 (Rev.WRC-95),
    which is entitled \"Implementation of changes in frequency
    allocations between 5900 kHz and 19020 kHz.\"

    521C, 528A, 529B, and 534A (later renumbered as S5.134, S5.135
    (later deleted), S5.136, S5.143, S5.146, and S5.151); and Resolution
    No. 21.

[^19]: For example, international footnote S5.146 reads as follows:
    \"The bands 9400-9500 kHz, 11600-11650 kHz, 12050-12100 kHz,
    15600-15800 kHz, 17480-17550 kHz and 18900-19020 kHz are allocated
    to the fixed service on a primary basis until 1 April 2007, subject
    to application of the procedure referred to in Resolution 21
    (Rev.WRC‑95). After 1 April 2007, frequencies in these bands may be
    used by stations in the fixed service, communicating only within the
    boundary of the country in which they are located, on condition that
    harmful interference is not caused to the broadcasting service. When
    using frequencies in the fixed service, administrations are urged to
    use the minimum power required and to take account of the seasonal
    use of frequencies by the broadcasting service published in
    accordance with the Radio Regulations.\" The text of the three other
    transition footnotes are the same as international footnote S5.146,
    except that incumbent mobile services, in addition to the primary
    fixed service, continue to be allocated until April 1, 2007:

[^20]: DSB transmitters transmit the carrier frequency and both
    sidebands resulting from the modulation of the carrier by the
    modulating signal. Traditionally, DSB emissions have been used in HF
    broadcasting. In contrast, SSB transmission is the method of
    operation in which one sideband is transmitted and the other
    sideband is suppressed; the carrier wave may be either transmitted
    or suppressed. *See The New IEEE Standard Dictionary of Electrical
    and Electronics Terms*, Fifth Edition.

[^21]: We observe that over 22% of FCC \"frequency-hour\" assignments
    are already being met in the WARC-92 HFBC bands using traditional
    DSB emissions. A frequency-hour is defined as one carrier frequency
    used for one hour regardless of the number of transmitters over
    which it is simultaneously broadcast by a station during that hour.
    *See* 47 C.F.R. § 73.701 (c). *See also* Appendix E, wherein FCC
    licensed HFBC usage is broken out by frequency band.

[^22]: These characteristics include system parameters (such as channel
    spacing), emission characteristics, characteristics of the reference
    receiver, and overall selectivity. In particular, we note that the 5
    kilohertz channel spacing used by DSB emissions in 47 C.F.R. §
    73.702(f)(3) is applicable for SSB emissions.

[^23]: In the United States, radio spectrum may be allocated to either
    Federal or non-Federal Government use exclusively, or for shared
    use.

[^27]: *See* Appendix B for a band by band breakout of incumbent use in
    the WARC-92 HFBC bands.

[^28]: We observe that such operations are permitted under the ITU
    *Radio Regulations*: \"Administrations of the Member States shall
    not assign to a station any frequency in derogation of either the
    Table of Frequency Allocations in this Chapter or the other
    provisions of these Regulations, except on the express condition
    that such a station, when using such a frequency assignment, shall
    not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection
    from harmful interference caused by, a station operating in
    accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, the Convention
    and these Regulations.\" *See* ITU *Radio Regulations*, Article
    S4.4. We also observe that the United States has long complained of
    the lack of HFBC spectrum. *See WARC-79 Final Acts*, Final Protocol,
    Nos. 36 (U.S. reserved its right to take necessary steps to meet the
    needs of its HF broadcasting service) and 38 and *Final Acts of the
    World Administrative Radio Conference for the Planning of the HF
    Bands Allocated to the Broadcasting Service (HFBC-87), Geneva, 1987*
    (\"*HFBC-87 Final Acts*\"), Final Protocol, No. 45.

[^29]: In a recent presentation to the High Frequency Co-ordination
    Committee, Deutsche Welle stated that all worldwide daily
    frequency-hours (including those in the WARC-92 HFBC bands, which
    are allocated but not implemented, and those that are in bands not
    allocated to the broadcasting service) totaled approximately 19,574
    during the summer 2001 season. BBG and our non-Federal Government
    licensees together transmit on the order of 10 to 15% of this total.
    *See* Appendix E for FCC frequency-hour assignments during the
    latest completed season. In particular, we note that currently only
    28% of FCC frequency-hours assignments are in broadcasting spectrum
    codified in our Rules. Moreover, if the WARC-79 and WARC-92 HFBC
    bands are implemented domestically, more than 40% of FCC
    frequency-hour assignments would remain out-of-band.

    In addition, we observe that the 2003 World Radiocommunication
    Conference (\"WRC-03\") will address whether additional spectrum
    should be allocated to the broadcasting service in frequency bands
    between 4 and 10 MHz. In particular, we note that a draft
    contribution from Working Party 6E for the CPM 2002 Report states
    that \"the total shortfall in spectrum in the 6, 7 and 9 MHz
    broadcasting bands is at least 250 kHz. That is if the objective is
    limited to just eliminating co-channel collisions. However, up to
    800 kHz would be needed to eliminate adjacent \[*i.e*.,
    interleaved\] channel collisions.\" *See* Report of the Third
    Meeting of Working Party 6E, Document 6E/157-E, Annex 19, entitled
    \"Examination of the adequacy of frequency allocations for
    broadcasting between 4 and 10 MHz under WRC-02 Agenda item 1.36.\"

[^30]: ITU Recommendation 520 states \"that the common use of the HF
    bands by the broadcasting and other services, without the relevant
    allocations or detailed regulations, results in inefficient use of
    the frequency spectrum\" and \"that such use has led to harmful
    interference.\" *See* ITU *Radio Regulations*, Recommendation 520.

[^31]: *See* note Error: Reference source not found, *supra.*

[^32]: This proposal would be implemented by deleting footnote US235,
    which alternatively allocates the WARC-79 HFBC bands to the fixed
    service. *See* 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, footnote US235. We note that
    footnote US235 has been inadvertently replaced by international
    footnote S5.148 in several of the WARC-79 HFBC bands.

[^33]: This proposal would be implemented by adding the WARC-79 HFBC
    bands to 47 C.F.R. § 73.702(f)(1).

[^34]: The Commission, which is an independent agency, administers
    non-Federal Government spectrum and NTIA, which is an operating unit
    of the Department of Commerce, administers Federal Government
    spectrum. *See* 47 C.F.R. § 2.105(a). NTIA\'s Interdepartment Radio
    Advisory Committee (\"IRAC\") is composed of representatives
    appointed by twenty member Federal departments and agencies. IRAC
    advises NTIA with regard to the allocation, management, and use of
    shared and Federal Government exclusive spectrum.

[^35]: See note Error: Reference source not found, supra.

[^36]: See Letter to Chief, Office of Engineering and Technology, FCC,
    from Acting Associate Administrator, Office of Spectrum Management,
    National Telecommunications and Information Administration
    (\"NTIA\"), U.S. Department of Commerce, dated January 6, 2000, p.
    2. Federal agencies have 656 fixed assignments in the bands
    9775-9900 kHz, 11650-11700 kHz, and 11975-12050 kHz, of which 361
    would be covered by footnote USxxx.

[^37]: *See* 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, international footnotes S5.136, S5.143,
    S5.146, and S5.151.

[^38]: *See* Letter to Chief, Office of Engineering and Technology, FCC,
    from Acting Associate Administrator, Office of Spectrum Management,
    NTIA, U.S. Department of Commerce, dated June 10, 1998, pp. 25, 27,
    30, 31, 34, 36, 38, and 40. There are 1533 Federal and 205
    non-Federal Government assignments in the WARC-92 HFBC bands.

[^39]: This proposal would be implemented by adding new paragraph (f)(3)
    to 47 C.F.R. § 73.702. This is necessary because the WARC-92 HFBC
    bands are allocated on a shared primary basis until April 1, 2007.
    As a consequence of the proposed allocation of the band 5900-5950
    kHz to the broadcasting service, we propose to revise the definition
    for international broadcast station by changing the starting
    frequency from 5950 kHz to 5900 kHz. *See* Appendix A, Section
    73.701, for the proposed definition.

[^40]: *See* ITU *Radio Regulations*, Article S12, entitled \"Seasonal
    Planning of the HF Bands Allocated to the Broadcasting Service
    Between 5900 kHz and 26100 kHz.\"

[^41]: Our rules require that HFBC transmitters have a rated carrier
    power of at least 50 kilowatts and operate with directional
    antennas. The antennas are required to be designed and operated so
    that the radiated power in the maximum lobe toward the specific zone
    or area of reception intended to be served is at least ten times the
    average power from the antenna in the horizontal plane. *See* 47
    C.F.R. §§ 73.751, 73.753. We observe that most of our HFBC licensees
    operate transmitters at either 100 kilowatts or 500 kilowatts.

[^42]: *See* 47 C.F.R. § 2.102(h)(3)(iii). This and other special
    provisions regarding non-Federal Government use of spectrum
    allocated to the fixed and land mobile services below 25 MHz were
    adopted shortly after WARC-79 and these provisions are codified at
    47 C.F.R. § 2.102(h). Even though various frequencies below 25 MHz
    are listed in 47 C.F.R. §§ 90.20 and 90.35, a recent review of the
    Commission\'s records found no land mobile assignments on these
    frequencies.

[^43]: *See* Appendix A, Sections 80.373(d) and 80.387(b).

[^44]: It is now clear that the phrase \"other spectrum-efficient
    modulation techniques\" will mean digital modulation techniques. We
    make this statement because there has been significant progress
    since WRC-97 with regard to digital HF broadcasting. For example,
    field test results of the Digital Radio Mondiale (\"DRM\") system
    show improved audio quality and transmission circuit reliability
    (*i.e.*, robustness) and reduced power requirements (roughly 4 dB)
    for the same coverage area when compared to a DSB signal operating
    in the same HF channel. DRM is an international consortium of 67
    broadcasters, network operators, manufacturers and researchers who
    have been working together since 1998 to create affordable, digital
    radio for the broadcasting bands below 30 MHz. DRM\'s members from
    the United States are Continental Electronics, Harris Broadcast
    Corporation, National Association of Shortwave Broadcasters, Sangean
    America, Inc., TCI, and Voice of America. We note that DRM states
    that \"\[m\]ost existing transmitters can be easily modified to
    transmit using the DRM standard.\" *See* DRM Press Release, dated
    April 21, 2001. In April 2001, the ITU-R approved Recommendation
    ITU-R BS 1514. *See* Recommendation ITU-R BS 1514 , which is
    entitled \"System for digital sound broadcasting in the broadcasting
    bands below 30 MHz.\" We observe that this Recommendation includes
    both the DRM system and the in-band on-channel digital sound
    broadcasting (\"IBOC DSB\") system. To date, testing of the IBOC DSB
    system has been focused on the AM and FM bands, not HF.

[^46]: *See* Radiocommunication Bureau Director\'s Report to WRC-2000.

[^47]: We observe that there are DSB receivers that cost on the order of
    \$20.

[^48]: *See WRC-97 Final Acts*, Resolution 517.

[^49]: We observe that BBG is working toward having the DRM system
    described in Recommendation ITU-R BS.1514 added to Appendix S11 of
    the ITU *Radio Regulations*.

[^50]: *See* ITU *Radio Regulations*, Article S12, entitled \"Seasonal
    Planning of the HF bands allocated to the broadcasting service
    between 5900 kHz and 26100 kHz;\" Article S23, entitled
    \"Broadcasting Services;\" and Appendix S11, entitled
    \"Double-sideband (DSB) and single-sideband (SSB) system
    specifications in the HF broadcasting service.\"

[^51]: *See* 47 C.F.R. § 73.756(c).

[^52]: *See* ITU *Radio Regulations*, Appendix S2. We note that this
    rule change would significantly tighten the frequency tolerance
    standard. For example, the current rule permits the frequency
    control to vary from 90 Hz at 6 MHz to 390 Hz at 26 MHz. In
    contrast, the proposed rule requires a frequency tolerance of 10 Hz
    across all bands.

[^53]: During the IRAC coordination process, BBG stated that the purpose
    of tightening the frequency tolerance is to improve the quality of
    the received HFBC signal, not for interference mitigation.

[^54]: *See* 47 C.F.R. §§ 73.701(g) - (j) and (l).

[^55]: Seasonal schedules are an assignment, for a season, of a
    frequency or frequencies, and other technical parameters, to be used
    by a international broadcast station for transmission to particular
    zones or areas of reception during specified hours. *See* 47 C.F.R.
    § 73.701(k).

[^56]: *See* ITU *Radio Regulations*, Article S12, Section III, entitled
    \"The Procedure.\" Specifically, twice yearly, Commission staff
    submits projected seasonal broadcasting schedules to the ITU. These
    schedules cover the following seasonal periods:

    Schedule A: Last Sunday in March to last Sunday in October.

    Schedule B: Last Sunday in October to last Sunday in March.

    Implementation of these schedules starts at 0100 Coordinated
    Universal Time, which was previously known as Greenwich Mean Time.
    The ITU publishes a Tentative Schedule at least two months before
    the start of each of the two schedule periods. *See* ITU *Radio
    Regulations*, No. S12.34. As a consequence of going from four to two
    seasons, we are proposing to revise the reference month definition.
    The reference month definition assists licensees in selecting the
    frequency bands that should be used for that particular schedule;
    that is, it is a mid-season look. *See* Appendix A, Section 73.701
    for the proposed new definitions.

[^57]: Prior to WARC-79, the band 25600-26100 kHz was allocated to the
    international broadcasting service on a primary basis. In the
    *WARC-79 Final Acts*, 70 kilohertz of this broadcasting allocation,
    the band 25600-25670 kHz, was reallocated to the radio astronomy
    service on a primary basis. Our proposal to update 47 C.F.R. §
    73.702(f)(1) by changing 25600-26100 kHz to 25670-26100 kHz is
    consistent with this earlier international allocation change.

[^58]: Our proposal to revise 47 C.F.R. § 73.702(f)(2) will remove
    outdated cross references to the ITU Radio Regulations, and instead
    will add cross references to our Rules.

[^59]: *See* 47 C.F.R. § 73.703.

[^60]: *See* 47 C.F.R. § 73.766.

    *supra*, at Appendix 45, entitled \"Double-Sideband (DSB) and
    Single-Sideband (SSB) System Specifications in the HF Bands

    been re-numbered as Appendix S11. *See* ITU *Radio Regulations*,
    Appendix S11.

[^62]: *See Amendment of Part 2 of the Commission\'s Rules Regarding
    Implementation of the Final Acts of the World Administrative Radio
    Conference, Geneva, 1979*, General Docket No. 80-739, *Second Report
    and Order*, FCC 83-511, rel. December 8, 1983, 49 FR 2357 (January
    19, 1984). The AM broadcast band originally extended from 535-1605
    kHz, but now extends from 535-1705 kHz. The 117 carrier frequencies
    assigned to AM broadcast stations begin at 540 kHz and progress in
    10 kilohertz steps to 1700 kHz. The ten channels in the AM Expanded
    Band have been designated as regional channels and are assigned for
    use by Class B and Class D stations. *See* 47 C.F.R. §§ 73.14,
    73.21, 73.26. Originally, the band 1605-1615 kHz was allocated to
    the Federal and non-Federal Government mobile service and its use
    was limited to the transmission of public service information from
    travelers\' information stations (\"TIS\"). The Commission later
    reallocated the band 1605-1615 kHz from the non-Federal Government
    mobile service to the broadcasting service. Non-Federal Government
    TIS stations are now located between AM radio stations throughout
    the band 535-1705 kHz. In contrast, Federal Government TIS stations
    remain limited to the frequencies 530 kHz and 1610 kHz.

[^63]: Pursuant to footnotes US237 and US238, the band 1615-1705 kHz
    remained allocated to the radiolocation service on a primary basis
    during a transition period that ultimately concluded in 1991. *See*
    note Error: Reference source not found, *infra.*

[^64]: On March 17, 1997, the Commission\'s Mass Media Bureau announced
    a revised Expanded Band allotment plan and filing window for
    eligible stations. This allotment plan provided for 88 AM radio
    stations in the band 1605-1705 kHz. *See* *Public Notice*, DA
    97-537. Those allotments for which no application was filed have
    expired. There are a total of 67 AM radio station operating or
    planning to operate in the Expanded Band: 1 station on 1610 kHz, 12
    stations on 1620 kHz, 5 stations on 1630 kHz, 7 stations on 1640
    kHz, 7 stations on 1650 kHz, 10 stations on 1660 kHz, 5 stations on
    1670 kHz, 6 stations on 1680 kHz, 6 stations on 1690 kHz, and 8
    stations on 1700 kHz. *See Public Notice* entitled \"AM Broadcast
    Applications Accepted for Filing and Notification of Cut-off Date,\"
    Report No. B-93, rel. August 12, 1997.

[^65]: There are 568 callsign records for TIS stations, which can
    include multiple sites and/or frequencies. The number of callsign
    records (both active and pending status) on each AM Expanded Band
    frequency is: 334 records on 1610 kHz, 68 records on 1620 kHz, 48
    records on 1630 kHz, 35 records on 1640 kHz, 10 records on 1650 kHz,
    4 records on 1660 kHz, 11 records on 1670 kHz, 23 records on 1680
    kHz, 14 records on 1690 kHz, and 21 records on 1700 kHz. *See*
    http://www.fcc.gov/mmb/asd/bickel/tis/freqtis.html.

[^66]: We have also recently proposed to amend 47 C.F.R. § 74.402 in a
    separate proceeding. *See Revisions to Broadcast Auxiliary Service
    Rules in Part 74 and Conforming Technical Rules for Broadcast
    Auxiliary Service, Cable Television Relay Service and Fixed Services
    in Parts 74, 78 and 101 of the Commission's Rules, etc*, ET Docket
    No. 01-75, *Notice of Proposed Rule Making*, 16 FCC Rcd 10556
    (2001). Therefore, it may be necessary for us to make
    non-substantive revisions to our proposal when codifying our
    decision in this proceeding in order to account for any revisions
    made in ET Docket No. 01-75.

[^67]: See note Error: Reference source not found, *infra.* In
    particular, we note that certain of the Industrial/Business Pool
    licensees have frequencies within the band 2194-2495 kHz (such as
    2293.4 kHz, 2293.4 kHz, and 2399.4 kHz).

[^68]: Stations of a secondary service shall not cause harmful
    interference to stations of primary services to which frequencies
    are already assigned or to which frequencies may be assigned at a
    latter date and cannot claim protection from harmful interference
    from stations of a primary service to which frequencies are already
    assigned or may be assigned at a later date. *See* 47 C.F.R. §
    2.105(c)(2).

[^69]: *See* 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, footnote US238. In addition to this
    footnote allocation, there is a secondary direct Table allocation
    for the radiolocation service in the Federal Government Table.

[^70]: 47 C.F.R. § 90.103(c)(29) states that as of July 1, 1987,
    licensees of existing radiolocation systems in the sub-band
    1605-1705 kHz of the band 1605-1800 kHz may request modification of
    their authorizations to change frequencies to the band 1900-2000
    kHz.

[^71]: *See* 47 C.F.R. § 90.103(b) and assignment limitations 4, 28, and
    29. In contrast to the situation discussed in ¶ 21, *supra*, we note
    that there is no need to suspend the acceptance of radiolocation
    applications because new non-Federal Government radiolocation
    assignments have not been permitted in this band since September 30,
    1985. *See* 47 C.F.R. § 90.103(c)(28).

[^72]: In addition to agreeing to delete footnote US238, NTIA has
    instructed us to also remove the superfluous secondary direct Table
    allocation for the radiolocation service in the band 1625-1705 kHz
    from the Federal Government Table.

[^73]: Our review of the Government Master File finds that all Federal
    assignments in the band 1615-1705 kHz, except for radiolocation
    assignments (which have a secondary allocation), have the following
    explanation attached: The assignment is not in complete conformity
    with the National Table of Frequency Allocations. Those operations
    that are conducted under the non-conforming portions of the
    assignment are on a secondary basis to operations conducted under
    assignments that are in conformity with the National Table.

[^74]: Courts have recognized the Commission\'s authority to adopt
    application freeze actions such as this. *See*, *e.g.*, Neighborhood
    TV Co. v. FCC, 742 F. 2d 629, 637-38 (D.C. Cir. 1964) and Kessler v.
    FCC, 326 F. 2d 673, 680-82 (D.C. Cir. 1963). These cases hold that
    freeze actions on application filing are procedural in nature and
    hence are not subject to the notice and comment requirements of the
    Administrative Procedures Act.

[^75]: We believe there is sufficient alternative spectrum available to
    meet the needs of existing licensees. *See, e.g.,* 47 C.F.R.
    §74.402(a), wherein 26 frequencies in the band 25670-26480 kHz are
    available for assignment to remote pickup broadcast stations; 47
    C.F.R. § 90.20(c)(3), wherein the frequencies 1722 kHz and 1730 kHz
    are available for assignment to Public Safety Pool eligibles; and 47
    C.F.R. § 90.35(a)(3), wherein any non-Federal Government land mobile
    band between 2000 and 25000 kHz is available for assignment to
    Industrial/Business Pool eligibles. In particular,
    Industrial/Business Pool eligibles should consult 47 C.F.R. §§
    90.263 and 90.266.

[^78]: *See* Appendix A, §§ 80.373(i) and 80.387(b). Specifically, the
    informational note would be added to 7 frequencies in both the table
    entitled \"Private Communications in Alaska Carrier Frequencies
    (kHz)\" and in the table entitled \"Alaska-private fixed station
    frequencies.\"

[^79]: International footnote 480 would be replaced with S5.89, missing
    footnote NG128 would be added to the band 535-1605 kHz, and various
    United States footnotes would be placed in both the Federal and
    non-Federal Government Tables.

[^81]: *See* 47 C.F.R. § 74.402(a).

[^82]: *See* 47 C.F.R. § 80.361(a). There are 20 frequencies within the
    band 26101-26110.5 kHz (in 0.5 kHz steps) that are available for
    assignment to public coast stations for NBDP and data transmissions.

[^83]: *See* 47 C.F.R. § 80.363 (a)(2). We note that this rule section
    describes the \"exclusive\" maritime mobile HF frequency bands that
    are available for assignment to coast stations using 3 kHz channels
    for facsimile, and that within the reallocated band 26100-26175 kHz,
    the sub-band 26122.5-26145 kHz is listed.

[^84]: *See* 47 C.F.R. § 80.371(b)(2). Table B lists four additional
    duplex channels, of which, the coast transmit frequencies 26145 kHz,
    26148 kHz, 26151 kHz and 26154 kHz are in the reallocated band
    26100-26175 kHz.

[^85]: *See* 47 C.F.R. § 80.369(d).

[^86]: Navigational aids in the United States in the band 190-415 kHz
    are normally operated by the Federal Government. *See* 47 C.F.R. §
    2.106, footnote US18.

[^87]: In particular, we observe that the U.S. Coast Guard (\"USCG\")
    declared full operational capability of the Maritime DGPS Service on
    March 15, 1999. The USCG system provides service for coastal
    coverage of the continental U.S., the Great Lakes, Puerto Rico,
    portions of Alaska and Hawaii, and portions of the Mississippi River
    basin. Maritime DGPS uses fixed GPS reference stations that
    broadcast pseudo-range corrections using maritime radiobeacons. The
    Maritime DGPS Service system provides radionavigation accuracy
    better than 10 meters for U.S. harbor entrance and approach areas.
    In addition, a Nationwide DGPS (\"NDGPS\") Service is being
    established to provide coverage for all areas of the U.S. not
    currently covered by the USCG Maritime DGPS Service. Positive Train
    Control, Intelligent Transportation Systems, and precision
    agriculture are expected to receive benefits from the NDPGS Service.
    *See 1999 Federal Radionavigation Plan*, at pp. 1-9, 3-10, and 3-11,
    published by the Department of Defense and the Department of
    Transportation. This document is available to the public through the
    National Technical Information Service.

[^88]: *See NTIA Manual of Regulations and Procedures for Federal Radio
    Frequency Management*, January 2000 Edition with May/September 2000
    Revisions (\"*NTIA Manual*\") at p. 4-97.

[^89]: As written, footnote G121 appears to limit the provision of DGPS
    information to stations licensed to provide maritime radionavigation
    service. We believe that there is a need to authorize stations that
    only transmit DGPS information, even if it is unrelated to the
    maritime radionavigation service, *e.g.*, the NDGPS Service.

[^90]: 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, footnote US18 reads as follows: \"Navigation
    aids in the US and possessions in the bands 9-14 kHz, 90-110 kHz,
    190-415 kHz, 510-535 kHz, and 2700-2900 MHz are normally operated by
    the U.S. Government. However, authorizations may be made by the FCC
    for non-Government operation in these bands subject to the
    conclusion of appropriate arrangements between the FCC and the
    Government agencies concerned and upon special showing of need for
    service which the Government is not yet prepared to render.\"

[^95]: *See* ITU Council Document C2000/88-E, Resolution 1156, Agenda
    Item 1.9, wherein WRC-03 will consider Appendix S13 and Resolution
    331 (Rev.WRC-97) with a view to their deletion and, if appropriate,
    to consider related changes to Chapter SVII and other provisions of
    the ITU *Radio Regulations*, as necessary, taking into account the
    continued transition and introduction of the GMDSS.

[^96]: We note that international footnote 471 (renumbered as S5.81 at
    WRC-97) was modified to reflect the deletion of Resolution 210 and
    the insertion of a reference to Appendix S13 (non-GMDSS distress and
    safety communications). The need for this footnote was overtaken by
    time, and it was deleted at WRC-2000.

[^97]: NAVTEX is an international, automated system for instantly
    distributing maritime navigational warnings, weather forecasts and
    warnings, search and rescue notices and similar information to
    ships.

[^98]: This proposal would be implemented by adding international
    footnote S5.131 in the band 4063-4438 kHz in the U.S. Table.

[^101]: Prior to WARC-79, the bands 4000-4063 kHz and 8100-8195 kHz were
    allocated exclusively to the fixed service. In the Commission\'s
    WARC-79 implementation, footnote US236 was adopted. Thus, our
    proposal to delete the fixed service would be implemented by
    removing expired footnote US236. *See* 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, footnote
    US236. *See also* Letter from Converner, Ad Hoc 206, IRAC, NTIA,
    U.S. Department of Commerce, to FCC Ad Hoc 206 Representative, dated
    June 15, 2001*.*

[^102]: 47 C.F.R. § 87.5. A station in this service is an aeronautical
    fixed station. We note that the ITU does not recognize the
    aeronautical fixed service as a separate service. The definition in
    Part 87 was developed for U.S. purposes.

[^103]: This designation was in international footnote 459, which was
    deleted at WRC-95.

[^104]: This proposal would be implemented by deleting international
    footnote 459 from the U.S. Table. *See* 47 C.F.R. § 2.106,
    international footnote 459. We note that the band 160-190 kHz is not
    listed in the frequency table for the aviation services, 47 C.F.R. §
    87.173(b).

[^105]: *See* e-mail from Ad Hoc 206 FAA Representative to FCC Ad Hoc

[^106]: *See* 47 C.F.R. Part 97, the amateur radio service, and in
    particular, Subpart E, providing emergency communications.

[^107]: *See WARC-79 Final Acts* at p. 837.

[^108]: *See Amendment of Part 2 of the Commission\'s Rules Regarding
    Implementation of the Final Acts of the World Administrative Radio
    Conference, Geneva, 1979*, General Docket No. 80-739, *Second Report

    Governing the Amateur Radio Service*, PR Docket No. 88-139, *Report
    and Order*, 4 FCC Rcd 4719 (1989).

[^110]: Section 97.401(b) reads as follows: \"When normal communication
    systems are overloaded, damaged or disrupted because a natural
    disaster has occurred, or is likely to occur, in an area where the
    amateur service is not regulated by the FCC, a station assisting in
    meeting essential communication needs and facilitating relief
    actions may do so only in accord with ITU Resolution 640 (Geneva,
    1979). The 80 m, 75 m, 40 m, 30 m, 20 m, 17 m, 15 m, 12 m, and 2 m
    bands may be used for these purposes.\"

[^111]: *See WRC-2000 Final Acts* at p. 7.

[^112]: 47 C.F.R. § 97.111 is entitled \"Authorized transmissions\" and
    in pertinent part reads: \"(a) An amateur station may transmit the
    following types of two-way communications: (1) Transmissions
    necessary to exchange messages with other stations in the amateur
    service, except those in any country whose administration has given
    notice that it objects to such communications. . .\"

[^113]: 47 C.F.R. § 97.101 is entitled \"General standards\" and
    paragraph (c) reads: \"At all times and on all frequencies, each
    control operator must give priority to stations providing emergency
    communications, except to stations transmitting communications for
    training drills and tests in RACES \[Radio Amateur Civil Emergency
    Service\].\"

[^114]: On an unrelated matter of interest to amateur operators, we note
    that WRC-2000 deleted international footnote S5.124. Prior to this
    action, the band 3950-4000 kHz was internationally allocated to the
    broadcasting service for domestic use in Canada. Once the Canadian
    Government has implemented this allocation change, the band
    3500-4000 kHz will be allocated exclusively to the amateur service
    in Canada. As such, we anticipate that our amateur operators will be
    able to make even more extensive use of the \"75 meter\" band. *See*
    47 C.F.R. § 97.301(b), (c), and (d) for eligibility requirements.

[^115]: Forest products licensees are defined as persons primarily
    engaged in tree logging, tree farming, or related woods operations,
    including related hauling activities, if the hauling activities are
    performed under contract to, and exclusively for, persons engaged in
    woods operations or engaged in manufacturing lumber, plywood,
    hardboard, or pulp and paper products from wood fiber. *See* 47
    C.F.R. § 90.7.

[^116]: Appendix A, paragraphs 90.35(b)(3) and 90.35(c)(82).

[^117]: 47 C.F.R. § 2.106.

[^118]: That is, in ITU Region 2, the bands 70-90 kHz and 110-130 kHz
    are allocated to the maritime radionavigation service on a primary
    basis and the use of this allocation is limited per international
    footnote S5.60. Because these bands are not allocated to the
    maritime radionavigation service in the United States, it is
    pointless to have international footnote S5.60 listed in the U.S.
    Table.

[^119]: *See* Letter from Acting Associate Administrator, Office of
    Spectrum Management, NTIA, to Chief, Office of Engineering and
    Technology, FCC, received September 24, 1998.

[^120]: Specifically, \"Government\" and \"non-Government\" would be
    changed to \"Federal Government\" and \"non-Federal Government,\"
    respectively, in footnotes US18, US82, US104 (the word \"licensees\"
    would also be added and \"Secondary Service basis\" would be changed
    to \"secondary basis\") US225, US231, US281, US282, US283 (the
    phrase \"in these bands\" would also be deleted), US321, and US340
    (the phrase \"secondary non-interference basis\" would also be
    changed to \"non-interference basis\"). In footnotes US18 and US104,
    \"possessions\" would be changed to \"insular areas.\" In footnote
    US231, the last sentence would be revised to clarify that Federal
    Government aeronautical radionavigation radiobeacons are limited to
    \"non-voice emissions.\" In footnote US281, the band \"25.07-25.11
    MHz\" would be corrected to \"25070-25210 kHz\" and \"industrial
    radio service\" and \"Forest Products Radio Service\" would be
    updated to \"Industrial/Business Pool.\"

[^121]: That is, footnote US281, as revised in the above note, states
    that \"In the band 25070-25210 kHz, non-Federal Government stations
    in the Industrial/Business Pool shall not cause harmful interference
    to, and must accept interference from, stations in the maritime
    mobile service operating in accordance with the International Table
    of Frequency Allocations.\" Limitation 9 states this fact, but it
    has only been added to the frequencies 25.08 MHz and 25.10 MHz in
    Section 90.35. Thus, we now add limitation to the frequencies 25.12
    MHz, 25.14 MHz, 25.16 MHz, 25.18 MHz, and 25.20 MHz.

[^122]: We have recently requested comment on the revision or
    elimination of any provision in Part 23, which governs IFPRS,
    because these services are no longer in widespread use. There are
    currently only three IFPRS licensees. *See 2000 Biennial Regulatory
    Review \-- Streamlining and Other Revisions of Part 25 of the
    Commission\'s Rules Governing the Licensing of, and Spectrum Usage

[^124]: This count was extracted from the Commission\'s license
    databases on February 12, 2001.

[^125]: Of the 179 fixed assignments, 162 are authorized under Section
    90.266 for long distance communications, *e.g.*, telephone, gas, and
    power company backup. *See also* Public Notice entitled \"2-25 MHz
    HF Frequency Bands Available for Part 90 Long Distance
    Communications,\" dated August 12 1988. The transmitter power for
    operation under Section 90.266 of the Rules is limited to 1-kilowatt
    peak envelope power. There are 17 Alaska private-fixed stations
    authorized under Section 80.387 to use the carrier frequency 11601.5
    kHz.

[^126]: Coast station assignments are authorized under Part
    80\--Stations in the Maritime Services. There are 4 public coast
    stations with 15 assignments and 4 private coast stations with 6
    assignments.

[^127]: Aeronautical fixed assignments are authorized under Part
    87\--Aviation Services.
