19000 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 72 / Friday, April 14, 1995 / Rules and Regulations

proposed land mobile operation will be

restricted as follows:

Base station operation is permitted in

the five boroughs of New York City and

Nassau, Westchester and Suffolk

Counties in New York, and Bergen

County, New Jersey. Mobile operation is

permitted in these counties and

boroughs as well as outside these areas

provided the distance from the Empire

State Building (Geographic Coordinates:

40°44′54′′ N, 73°59′10′′ W) does not

exceed 48 kilometers (30 miles).

Co-Channel Television Protection

For base stations to be located in the

five boroughs that comprise the City of

New York and other jurisdictions east of

the Hudson River and Kill Van Kull, the

maximum effective radiated power

(ERP) will be limited to 225 watts at an

antenna height of 152.5 meters (500 feet)

above average terrain. Adjustment of the

permitted power will be allowed

provided it is in accordance with the

‘‘169 kilometer Distance Separation’’

entries specified in Table B or

prescribed by Figure B of Section

90.309(a)(5) of the Rules.

For base stations to be located west of

the Hudson River, the maximum ERP

will be limited to the entries specified

in Table B or prescribed by Figure B of

Section 90.309(a)(5) of the Rules for the

actual separation distance between the

land mobile base station and the

transmitter site of WNEP–TV, Scranton

(Geographic Coordinates: 41°10′58′′ N,

75°52′21′′ W).

Mobile stations associated with such

base stations will be restricted to 100

watts ERP in the area of operation

extending eastward from the Hudson

River and 10 watts ERP in the area of

operation extending westward from the

Hudson River. These restrictions offer

40 dB of protection to the Grade B

coverage contour of WNEP–TV,

Scranton.

Adjacent Channel Television Protection

The above parameters and conditions

are considered to be sufficient to protect

first-adjacent channel television station

WPHL–TV, Philadelphia (Geographic

Coordinates: 40°02′30′′ N, 75°14′24′′ W).

Operation of mobile units within a

radius of 48 kilometers (30 miles) from

the Empire State Building would be no

closer than 8 kilometers (5 miles) from

the WPHL Grade B coverage contour.

This will offer a 0 dB protection ratio to

WPHL–TV.

Low Power Television Protection

LPTV station W17BM has no

responsibility to protect land mobile

operations on adjacent TV Channel 16

other than from spurious emissions.

Land mobile licensees must correct, at

their expense, interference caused by

their operations to the reception of

W17BM within its protected signal

contour as defined in Section 74.707 of

the Rules.

Periodic Reports

The Joint Committee of broadcasters

and public safety agencies—as

contemplated in the agreement—will

file annual reports with the Commission

regarding the status of implementation

and progress toward the development of

new spectrum efficient systems.
