20  Other licence conditions
 (1) Each spectrum licence will also include conditions about:
 (a) the payment of charges (section 67 of the Act);
 (b) use by third parties (section 68 of the Act);
 (c) registration of transmitters (section 69 of the Act); and
 (d) residency (section 69A of the Act).
 (2) Each spectrum licence will include a condition requiring the licensee to provide protection to any radiocommunications devices operating in a re‑allocation zone in the 3.6 GHz band in accordance with an apparatus licence in the manner set out in Parts 3, 4 and 5 of the Radiocommunications Advisory Guidelines (Managing Interference from Spectrum Licensed Transmitters — 3.4 GHz Band) 2015 until the end of the re-allocation period for the relevant re-allocation zone.
Note: For the Perth re-allocation zone, the re-allocation period ends in 2023. For the Regional re-allocation zone, the re-allocation period ends in 2025. Accordingly, for these zones there will be a period during which spectrum licences will co-exist with apparatus licences. Also, apparatus licences may be issued in spectrum covered by a re-allocation declaration in the circumstances set out in section 153P of the Act.
 (3) Each spectrum licence will include a condition requiring the licensee to follow the procedures specified in RALI MS44 for coordination with, and protection of, any earth stations operating in the 3.6 GHz band in earth station protection zones.
 (4) Each spectrum licence will include a condition requiring licensees to synchronise operation of devices operated under their licence with other devices operating in the relevant band and within any relevant area under a spectrum licence or PTS transmitter licence, in certain circumstances. The condition will be in the terms set out at clause 11 of Licence Schedule 4 of the sample spectrum licence.
Note: This condition is included in this instrument on the basis that the ACMA will include equivalent conditions on existing spectrum licences and PTS transmitter licences in the 3.4 GHz band. For more, see the interference management direction. However, if such a condition is not included on such a spectrum licence of PTS transmitter licence, the ACMA may consider applying different interference management arrangements to 3.6 GHz spectrum licences.
 (5) Each spectrum licence will include a condition requiring licensees to manage interference caused by spurious emissions at frequencies below 3360 MHz and above 3740 MHz which are not caused by operation of the radiocommunications device in a manner that does not comply with the conditions of the licence (other than this condition).
