12  Transition – radiocommunications transmitter registered before commencement of this section
 (1) If a radiocommunications transmitter (relevant transmitter) was included in the Register in relation to a spectrum licence in the 850/900 MHz band in the period:
(a) commencing on the day the Radiocommunications (Unacceptable Levels of Interference — 800 MHz Band) Determination 2012 commenced; and
(b) ending at the commencement of this section;
this section applies in relation to that transmitter.
 (2) For the purposes of subsection 145(4) of the Act, a level of interference caused by a relevant transmitter is unacceptable if it would have been unacceptable under the Radiocommunications (Unacceptable Levels of Interference — 800 MHz Band) Determination 2012, as in force at the time the relevant transmitter was included in the Register.
Note: The Radiocommunications (Unacceptable Levels of Interference – 800 MHz Band) Determination 2012 is available, free of charge, from the Federal Register of Legislation at www.legislation.gov.au.

Schedule 1 Location of a transmitter
  (subsections 5(1), 8(3), 9(3) and section 11)
   1. The location of a radiocommunications transmitter (lt, Lt) is the location (by latitude and longitude with reference to GDA94) of the phase centre of the radiocommunications transmitter's antenna.
   2. The location of a group of radiocommunications transmitters (lt, Lt) is the location (by latitude and longitude with reference to the GDA94) of the centre point between the phase centre of each radiocommunications transmitter antenna within the group.

   3. In determining the location of a radiocommunications transmitter, or a group of radiocommunications transmitters, the measurement error should be less than 10 metres.
        Note 1: The ACMA issues site identifiers for established radiocommunications locations available in the Register.
        Note 2: The ACMA provides advice to assist licensees in determining the location and measurement error of a transmitter site in the document Business Operating Procedure (BOP) – Radiocommunications site data requirements, available, free of charge, on the ACMA's website at www.acma.gov.au.

Schedule 2 Device boundaries and device boundary criteria
  (subsection 5(1), paragraph 10(1)(d), subparagraphs 10(2)(b)(i) and 10(3)(b)(i), and section 11)

Part 1  Device boundary of a transmitter
   1. The device boundary of a single radiocommunications transmitter is established as follows:
    Step 1: Calculate the device boundary criterion at each m×100 metre increment along each of the n-degree radials, where:
      (a) m is each of the integers from 2 through 530; and
      (b) n is each of the integer degrees from 0 (true north) through 359.
    Step 2: For each radial, find the latitude and longitude of the first point on the radial, moving away from the location of the transmitter (that is, with the lowest value of m) where either:
 (a) the device boundary criterion, RP-MP, is less than or equal to 0; or
 (b) m is
