Synopsis
By this administrative action, the Commission makes non-
substantive, editorial revisions to conform Commission rules to
formatting requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). These
actions do not modify or otherwise change any entity's underlying
rights or responsibilities. Specifically, this action implements
formatting revisions to the Sec. 2.106 Table of Frequency Allocations
(Allocation Table) footnotes to conform to the Office of the Federal
Register's (OFR) standard CFR codification structure. This action also
makes non-substantive, editorial revisions to descriptions of the Radio
Regulations of the International Telecommunication Union (Radio
Regulations) (ITU); the United States Table of Frequency Allocations
(U.S. Table); and the United States, Non-Federal Government, and
Federal Government Footnotes categories in Sec. Sec. 2.100, 2.105, and
2.106 of the rules, respectively; and adds descriptions of the
Allocation Table and International Footnotes categories in Sec. 2.106,
to clarify the descriptions of the contents and structure of the
International Table and the U.S. Table and describe the structure and
contents of the Allocation Table.
The Allocation Table in Sec. 2.106 of the Commission's rules is
the Commission's means of organizing and presenting the use of
radiofrequency spectrum in the United States and its insular areas by
radio services under specified conditions. The Allocation Table
consists of six columns that are divided into cells, with each cell
representing a specific frequency band(s). The Allocation Table is
comprised of the International Table, administered by the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU) (columns 1-3), the United States Table of
Frequency Allocations (U.S. Table) (columns 4 and 5), and cross-
references to FCC rule part(s) (column 6). The International Table is
subdivided into the Region 1, Region 2, and Region 3 columns, which
reflect the corresponding regional or worldwide frequency allocations
in the ITU Radio Regulations. The U.S. Table is subdivided into the
Federal Table of Frequency Allocations in column 4 (Federal Table) and
the non-Federal Table of Frequency Allocations in column 5 (non-Federal
Table). The FCC rule part(s) column contains cross-references to the
relevant service rules in the Code of Federal Regulations, where
applicable. The International Table, the Federal Table, and the FCC
rule part(s) are included in the Allocation Table for informational
purposes only.
The U.S. Table contains references to U.S., non-Federal, Federal,
and certain international footnotes. The footnotes denote specific use
restrictions affecting radiofrequency operations in the particular
frequency band. The text of the international, U.S., non-Federal, and
Federal footnotes immediately follows the Allocation Table in Sec.
2.106. Any footnote number consisting of ``5.'' followed by one or more
digits/letters (e.g., ``5.53'') denotes an international footnote that
is binding on users in the band. Any footnote consisting of the letters
``US'' followed by one or more digits/letters (e.g., ``US7'') denotes a
stipulation affecting both Federal and non-Federal radiofrequency
operations in the particular frequency band in the United States. Any
footnote consisting of the letters ``NG'' followed by one or more
digits/letters (e.g., ``NG3'') denotes a stipulation applicable only to
non-Federal radiofrequency operations in the particular frequency band
in the United States. Any footnote consisting of the letter ``G''
followed by one or more digits/letters (e.g., ``G2'') denotes a
stipulation applicable only to Federal radiofrequency operations in the
particular frequency band in the United States. In some cases, a letter
has, or letters have, been appended to the digit(s) of a footnote
number to preserve the sequential order.
The Federal Register Act and its implementing regulations require
that regulatory material be codified in the CFR in standard codified
structure. As currently structured, the international, U.S., non-
Federal, and Federal footnotes that follow the Allocation Table in
Sec. 2.106 are not formatted in the standard CFR codification
structure contained in 1 CFR 21.11--Standard organization of the Code
of Federal Regulations. This Order implements formatting revisions to
all of the Allocation Table footnotes to comply with the standard CFR
organizational structure.
Through the process of reformatting Sec. 2.106, the Commission
found additional issues in Sec. 2.106 that must be addressed to
conform to the Office of the Federal Register's (OFR's) standard CFR
codification structure. Specifically, Appendix C of the OFR's Document
Drafting Handbook lists certain drafting conventions that are no longer
permitted in the CFR and states that agencies must make conforming
changes unless they have a formally approved deviation. In this Order,
the Commission addresses the following issues: (1) Footnotes that are
``[Reserved];'' (2) Footnotes or notes that include multiple
paragraphs; (3) Footnotes or notes with multiple paragraph levels; (4)
Footnotes or notes that include regulatory content; and (5) Paragraph
designations in the middle of a paragraph.
Discussion
Section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA)
provides exceptions to the notice and
[[Page 37319]]
comment rulemaking procedures when, among other things, the agency
finds for good cause that the notice and comment requirements are
``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest'' with
respect to the rules at issue. This Final Rule consists of several non-
substantive, editorial actions to add new or revise existing
explanatory paragraphs before the Allocation Table and footnote
categories in Sec. 2.106, revise the format used for the footnotes
that are listed after the Allocation Table in Sec. 2.106, and provide
descriptions of the International Table and the U.S. Table portions of
the Allocation Table in Sec. Sec. 2.100 and 2.105 of the rules,
respectively. The rules adopted in the Order do not modify or otherwise
change any entity's underlying rights or responsibilities and, as such,
entail no substantive regulatory decisions of any consequence or
significance to industry or the general public. Accordingly, there is
good cause to find that it is ``unnecessary,'' within the meaning of
section 553(b)(B), to provide notice and an opportunity for public
comment before implementing these rule revisions. The Acting Chief,
Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) adopted the Order under
delegated authority.
First, in Sec. 2.106, the Commission adds paragraphs (a) through
(e) to the existing table and footnotes categories, in accordance with
the OFR's standard CFR codification structure contained in 1 CFR
21.11(h), to describe the structure and contents of the Allocation
Table. The addition of paragraph (a) before the Allocation Table is
administrative in nature because it merely notes that the Allocation
Table is comprised of the International Table and the United States
Table, and notes where those tables, the ITU Radio Regulations, and the
terms and acronyms used in the Allocation Table are described in the
Commission's rules.
In accordance with the OFR's standard CFR codification structure,
the Commission adds paragraph (b) in Sec. 2.106 before the list of
international footnotes to provide a description of these footnotes'
numbering format and their use in the Federal Table and non-Federal
Table. The addition of this paragraph before the international
footnotes is administrative in nature since it is based on descriptions
contained in Sec. Sec. 2.104 and 2.105 of the Commission's rules, and
simply notes where the ITU Radio Regulations, and the terms and
abbreviations used in the international footnotes, are described in the
Commission's rules. The Commission also move the existing parenthetical
text currently located before the lists of United States footnotes,
non-Federal footnotes, and Federal footnotes to paragraphs (c), (d),
and (e) of Sec. 2.106, respectively, to provide a description of these
footnotes' numbering format and their use in the Federal and non-
Federal Tables.
Second, the Commission observe that: (1) most footnotes to the
Allocation Table contain regulatory content; (2) many of these
footnotes are multiple paragraphs long or contain multiple paragraph
levels; and (3) some footnotes contain paragraph designations in the
middle of a paragraph. The Commission addresses these issues by fully
implementing the OFR's standard CFR codification structure formatting
in the footnotes to the Allocation Table. For certain international
footnotes with separate paragraphs, the Commission merges the
paragraphs to form a single paragraph. The Commission labels the tables
and notes within footnotes in ascending numerical order, and if there
is not an additional paragraph, the Commission moves the table to the
end of the footnote text. Consistent with the Radio Regulations, the
Commission adds a space between the fourth and third digits for five
and six digit numbers within international and domestic footnotes.
Third, as required in the standard CFR codification structure, the
Commission updates the cross-references in the footnotes in Sec. 2.106
to conform to the OFR's standard CFR codification structure.
The Commission also amends Sec. Sec. 2.100 and 2.105,
respectively, to clarify the descriptions of the contents and structure
of the International Table and the U.S. Table. Specifically, the
Commission adds paragraph (a) to section 2.100 to provide a brief
description of the structure of the ITU and its regulations for
informational purposes. These consist of: (1) Articles 1-59 in volume
1; Article 5 includes the ITU's Table of Frequency Allocations, which
is the basis for the International Table in Sec. 2.106, as well as the
text of the footnotes to the ITU's Table of Frequency Allocations,
which is the basis for the list of international footnotes in Sec.
2.106; (2) Appendices (with Annexes) in volume 2; (3) Resolutions and
Recommendations in volume 3; and (4) ITU-R Recommendations referenced
in volume 4. The ITU Radio Regulations are available at <a href="https://www.itu.int/pub/R-REG-RR/en">https://www.itu.int/pub/R-REG-RR/en</a>.
Finally, the Commission revises Sec. 2.105(d)(5) to clarify that
the footnotes to the Allocation Table are listed in ascending numerical
order in paragraphs (b) through (e) of Sec. 2.106 and to remove
footnote 7 from paragraphs (d)(5)(i) through (iv) and include the text
of the footnote in paragraph (d)(5). In section 2.105, the Commission
replaces ``consisting of'' in the first line of paragraph (d)(5)(i) and
``consisting of the letters'' in each of the paragraphs (d)(5)(ii)
through (iv) with ``in the format.'' In paragraphs (d)(5)(iii) and
(iv), the Commission replaces ``Non-Federal footnotes'' and ``Federal
footnotes'' with ``Non-Federal Government (non-Federal) footnotes'' and
``Federal Government (Federal) footnotes.''
Paperwork Reduction Act Analysis
This document does not contain new or modified information
collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law 104-13. In addition, therefore, it does not contain
any new or modified information collection burdens for small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees, pursuant to the Small Business
Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(4).
Congressional Review Act
The Commission has determined, and the Administrator of the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget,
concurs, that this rule is ``non-major'' under the Congressional Review
Act, 5 U.S.C. 804(2). The Commission will send a copy of the Order to
Congress and the Government Accountability Office pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
801(a)(1)(A).
Administrative Procedure Act Requirements
The Commission amends part 2 of the Commission's rules herein by
incorporating non-substantive, editorial revisions only. Therefore,
there is good cause for not employing the notice and comment procedure
in this case. Specifically, the Commission finds that the normal
procedures for notice and comment and for publication as required under
section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act would be impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. See 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B); Kessler v. FCC, 326 F.2d 673 (D.C. Cir. 1963).
Ordering Clause
It is ordered that part 2 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR part 2,
is amended as set forth in the Appendix of the Order, effective 30 days
after publication in the Federal Register. This action is taken
pursuant to authority found in sections 4(i) and 303 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
[[Page 37320]]
amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i) and 303, and in Sec. Sec. 0.11, 0.31,
0.231(b) and 0.241(i) of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 0.11, 0.31,
0.231(b) and 0.241(i).
Petitions for reconsideration under 47 CFR 1.429 or applications
for review by the Commission under 47 CFR 1.115 may be filed within 30
days after publication in the Federal Register. Should no petitions for
reconsideration or applications for review be timely filed, this
proceeding shall be terminated, and its docket closed.

Final Rules
For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Federal
Communications Commission amends 47 CFR part 2 as follows:
PART 2--FREQUENCY ALLOCATIONS AND RADIO TREATY MATTERS; GENERAL
RULES AND REGULATIONS
0
1. The authority citation for part 2 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 47 U.S.C. 154, 302a, 303, and 336, unless otherwise
noted.
0
2. Revise Sec. 2.100 to read as follows:
Sec. 2.100 International Radio Regulations.
The United States is a Member State of the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU). The legal framework of the ITU is
comprised of the Constitution and Convention of the International
Telecommunication Union--which have treaty status and are binding on
ITU Member States--and the Administrative Regulations--which complement
the Constitution and the Convention. The Radio Regulations form an
integral part of the Administrative Regulations.
(a) The Radio Regulations are available at <a href="https://www.itu.int/pub/R-REG-RR/en">https://www.itu.int/pub/R-REG-RR/en</a> and consist of:
(1) Articles in volume 1. Article 5 includes the ITU's Table of
Frequency Allocations, which is the basis for the International Table
in Sec. 2.106, as well as the text of the footnotes to the ITU's Table
of Frequency Allocations, which is the basis for the list of
international footnotes in Sec. 2.106. A description of terms and
abbreviations used in the international footnotes is as follows:
(i) ITU-R (ITU Radiocommunication Sector).
(ii) No. (composite number indicating the number of the ITU Article
and the provision number within that Article (e.g., No. 9.2B means
provision No. 2B of Article 9).
(iii) Radio Regulations (ITU Radio Regulations).
(iv) WRC (World Radiocommunication Conference).
(2) Appendices (with Annexes) in volume 2.
(3) Resolutions and Recommendations in volume 3.
(4) ITU Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) Recommendations as
referenced in volume 4.
(b) The Radio Regulations (Edition of 2012) have been incorporated
to the extent practicable in this part, except that the International
Table within Sec. 2.106 has been updated to reflect the Radio
Regulations (Edition of 2016).
0
3. Amend Sec. 2.105 by revising paragraphs (b), (c) introductory text,
(c)(1) introductory text, (d) introductory text, (d)(5), and (e)
introductory text to read as follows:
Sec. 2.105 United States Table of Frequency Allocations.
* * * * *
(b) In the United States, radio spectrum may be allocated to either
Federal or non-Federal use exclusively, or for shared use. In the case
of shared use, the type of service(s) permitted need not be the same
(e.g., Federal FIXED, non-Federal MOBILE). The terms used to designate
categories of services and allocations in columns 4 and 5 of Sec.
2.106 correspond to the terms in the ITU Radio Regulations.
(c) Any segment of the radio spectrum may be allocated to the
Federal and/or non-Federal sectors either on an exclusive or shared
basis for use by one or more radio services.
(1) In the case where an allocation has been made to more than one
service, such services are listed in the following order:
* * * * *
(d) The format of the United States Table is as follows:
* * * * *
(5) The footnotes to the Allocation Table are listed in ascending
numerical order in Sec. 2.106(b) through (e); however, in some cases,
a letter(s) has/have been appended after the digit(s) of a footnote
number in order to preserve the sequential order. The following symbols
are used to designate footnotes in the United States Table:
(i) Any footnote number in the format ``5.'' followed by one or
more digits, e.g., 5.53, denotes an international footnote. Where an
international footnote is applicable, without modification, to both
Federal and non-Federal operations, the Commission places the footnote
in both the Federal Table and the non-Federal Table (columns 4 and 5)
and the international footnote is binding on both Federal users and
non-Federal licensees. If, however, an international footnote pertains
to a service allocated only for Federal or non-Federal use, the
international footnote will be placed only in the relevant Table. For
example, footnote 5.142 pertains only to the amateur service, and thus,
footnote 5.142 is shown only in the non-Federal Table.
(ii) Any footnote in the format ``US'' followed by one or more
digits, e.g., US7, denotes a stipulation affecting both Federal and
non-Federal operations. United States footnotes appear in both the
Federal Table and the non-Federal Table.
(iii) Any footnote in the format ``NG'' followed by one or more
digits, e.g., NG2, denotes a stipulation applicable only to non-Federal
operations. Non-Federal Government (non-Federal) footnotes appear
solely in the non-Federal Table (column 5).
(iv) Any footnote in the format ``G'' followed by one or more
digits, e.g., G2, denotes a stipulation applicable only to Federal
operations. Federal Government (Federal) footnotes appear solely in the
Federal Table (column 4).
* * * * *
(e) If a frequency or frequency band has been allocated to a
radiocommunication service in the non-Federal Table, then a cross
reference may be added to the pertinent FCC Rule part (column 6 of
Sec. 2.106) or, where greater specificity would be useful, to the
pertinent subpart. For example, the band 849-851 MHz is allocated to
the aeronautical mobile service for non-Federal use, rules for the use
of the 849-851 MHz band have been added to part 22--Public Mobile
Services (47 CFR part 22), and a cross reference, Public Mobile (22),
has been added in column 6 of Sec. 2.106. The exact use that can be
made of any given frequency or frequency band (e.g., channeling plans,
allowable emissions, etc.) is given in the FCC Rule part(s) so
indicated. The FCC Rule parts in this column are not allocations, may
apply to only a portion of a band, and are provided for informational
purposes only. This column also may contain explanatory notes for
informational purposes only.
* * * * *
0
4. Amend Sec. 2.106 by:
0
a. Adding paragraph (a) before the Table of Frequency Allocations;
0
b. Removing the ``International Footnotes,'' ``United States (US)
Footnotes,'' ``Non-Federal Government
[[Page 37321]]
(NG) Footnotes,'' and ``Federal Government (G) Footnotes;'' and
0
c. Adding paragraphs (b) through (e) following the Table of Frequency
Allocations.
The additions read as follows:
Sec. 2.106 Table of Frequency Allocations.
(a) Allocation Table. The Table of Frequency Allocations
(Allocation Table) consists of the International Table of Frequency
Allocations (International Table), the United States Table of Frequency
Allocations (United States Table), and the FCC rule part(s) cross
references as described in Sec. Sec. 2.104 and 2.105, respectively.
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Radio Regulations are
described in Sec. 2.100. The definitions of terms and acronyms used in
the Allocation Table are specified in Sec. 2.1. The footnotes to the
Allocation Table are listed in ascending numerical order in paragraphs
(b) through (e) of this section; however, in some cases, a letter(s)
has/have been appended to the digit(s) of a footnote number in order to
preserve the sequential order.
* * * * *
(b) International footnotes. International footnotes, each in the
format ``5.'' followed by one or more digits, denote stipulations
applicable in the relationship between the United States and other
nations and thus appear at a minimum in the International Table. Where
an international footnote is applicable, without modification, to both
Federal and non-Federal operations, the footnote is placed in both the
Federal Table and the non-Federal Table (columns 4 and 5) and the
international footnote is binding on both Federal users and non-Federal
licensees. If, however, an international footnote pertains to a service
allocated only for Federal or non-Federal use, the international
footnote will be placed only in the relevant Table. Annex, Appendix,
Article, No., and Resolution are cross references to provisions in the
International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Radio Regulations (see
Sec. 2.100 for descriptions of the structure of the ITU Radio
Regulations and the terms and abbreviations used in the international
footnotes). The ITU-R Recommendations referenced in certain of the
international footnotes are available at <a href="https://www.itu.int/pub/R-REC">https://www.itu.int/pub/R-REC</a>.
The list of international footnotes follows:
(1)-(52) [Reserved]
(53) 5.53 Administrations authorizing the use of frequencies below
8.3 kHz shall ensure that no harmful interference is caused to services
to which the bands above 8.3 kHz are allocated.
(54) 5.54 Administrations conducting scientific research using
frequencies below 8.3 kHz are urged to advise other administrations
that may be concerned in order that such research may be afforded all
practicable protection from harmful interference.
(i) 5.54A Use of the 8.3-11.3 kHz frequency band by stations in the
meteorological aids service is limited to passive use only. In the band
9-11.3 kHz, meteorological aids stations shall not claim protection
from stations of the radionavigation service submitted for notification
to the Bureau prior to 1 January 2013. For sharing between stations of
the meteorological aids service and stations in the radionavigation
service submitted for notification after this date, the most recent
version of Recommendation ITU-R RS.1881 should be applied.
(ii) 5.54B Additional allocation: in Algeria, Saudi Arabia,
Bahrain, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, the Russian Federation, Iran
(Islamic Republic of), Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Qatar, the
Syrian Arab Republic, Sudan and Tunisia, the frequency band 8.3-9 kHz
is also allocated to the radionavigation, fixed and mobile services on
a primary basis.
(iii) 5.54C Additional allocation: in China, the frequency band
8.3-9 kHz is also allocated to the maritime radionavigation and
maritime mobile services on a primary basis.
(55) 5.55 Additional allocation: in Armenia, the Russian
Federation, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, the
frequency band 14-17 kHz is also allocated to the radionavigation
service on a primary basis.
(56) 5.56 The stations of services to which the bands 14-19.95 kHz
and 20.05-70 kHz and in Region 1 also the bands 72-84 kHz and 86-90 kHz
are allocated may transmit standard frequency and time signals. Such
stations shall be afforded protection from harmful interference. In
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, the Russian Federation, Georgia,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, the frequencies 25
kHz and 50 kHz will be used for this purpose under the same conditions.
(57) 5.57 The use of the bands 14-19.95 kHz, 20.05-70 kHz and 70-90
kHz (72-84 kHz and 86-90 kHz in Region 1) by the maritime mobile
service is limited to coast radiotelegraph stations (A1A and F1B only).
Exceptionally, the use of class J2B or J7B emissions is authorized
subject to the necessary bandwidth not exceeding that normally used for
class A1A or F1B emissions in the band concerned.
(58) 5.58 Additional allocation: in Armenia, Azerbaijan, the
Russian Federation, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and
Turkmenistan, the band 67-70 kHz is also allocated to the
radionavigation service on a primary basis.
(59) 5.59 Different category of service: in Bangladesh and
Pakistan, the allocation of the bands 70-72 kHz and 84-86 kHz to the
fixed and maritime mobile services is on a primary basis (see No.
5.33).
(60) 5.60 In the bands 70-90 kHz (70-86 kHz in Region 1) and 110-
130 kHz (112-130 kHz in Region 1), pulsed radionavigation systems may
be used on condition that they do not cause harmful interference to
other services to which these bands are allocated.
(61) 5.61 In Region 2, the establishment and operation of stations

account the information referred to in this paragraph (b)(433)(i).
Stations of the mobile service in the frequency band 3500-3600 MHz
shall not claim more protection from space stations than that provided
in table 21-4 of the Radio Regulations (Edition of 2004).
(ii) [Reserved]
(434) 5.434 In Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica and the United States,
the frequency band 3600-3700 MHz, or portions thereof, is identified
for use by these administrations wishing to implement International
Mobile Telecommunications (IMT). This identification does not preclude
the use of this frequency band by any application of the services to
which it is allocated and does not establish priority in the Radio
Regulations. At the stage of coordination the provisions of Nos. 9.17
and 9.18 also apply. Before an administration brings into use a base or
mobile station of an IMT system, it shall seek agreement under No. 9.21
with other administrations and ensure that the power flux-density (pfd)
produced at 3 m above ground does not exceed -154.5 dB(W/(m\2\ [middot]
4 kHz)) for more than 20% of time at the border of the territory of any
other administration. This limit may be exceeded on the territory of
any country whose administration has so agreed. In order to ensure that
the pfd limit at the border of the territory of any other
administration is met, the calculations and verification shall be made,
taking into account all relevant information, with the mutual agreement
of both administrations (the administration responsible for the
terrestrial station and the administration responsible for the earth
station), with the assistance of the Bureau if so requested. In case of
disagreement, the calculation and verification of the pfd shall be made
by the Bureau, taking into account the information referred to in this
paragraph (b)(434). Stations of the mobile service, including IMT
systems, in the frequency band 3600-3700 MHz shall not claim more
protection from space stations than that provided in table 21-4 of the
Radio Regulations (Edition of 2004).
(435) 5.435 In Japan, in the band 3620-3700 MHz, the radiolocation
service is excluded.
(436) 5.436 Use of the frequency band 4200-4400 MHz by stations in
the aeronautical mobile (R) service is reserved exclusively for
wireless avionics intra-communication systems that operate in
accordance with recognized international aeronautical standards. Such
use shall be in accordance with Resolution 424 (WRC-15).
(437) 5.437 Passive sensing in the Earth exploration-satellite and
space research services may be authorized in the frequency band 4200-
4400 MHz on a secondary basis.
(438) 5.438 Use of the frequency band 4200-4400 MHz by the
aeronautical radionavigation service is reserved exclusively for radio
altimeters installed on board aircraft and for the associated
transponders on the ground.
(439) 5.439 Additional allocation: in Iran (Islamic Republic of),
the band 4200-4400 MHz is also allocated to the fixed service on a
secondary basis.
(440) 5.440 The standard frequency and time signal-satellite
service may be authorized to use the frequency 4202 MHz for space-to-
Earth transmissions and the frequency 6427 MHz for Earth-to-space
transmissions. Such transmissions shall be confined within the limits
of <plus-minus> 2 MHz of these frequencies, subject to agreement
obtained under No. 9.21.
(i) 5.440A In Region 2 (except Brazil, Cuba, French overseas
departments and communities, Guatemala, Paraguay, Uruguay and
Venezuela), and in Australia, the band 4400-4940 MHz may be used for
aeronautical mobile telemetry for flight testing by aircraft stations
(see No. 1.83). Such use shall be in accordance with Resolution 416
(WRC-07) and shall not cause harmful interference to, nor claim
protection from, the fixed-satellite and fixed services. Any such use
does not preclude the use of this band by other mobile service
applications or by other services to which this band is allocated on a
co-primary basis and does not establish priority in the Radio
Regulations.
(ii) [Reserved]
(441) 5.441 The use of the bands 4500-4800 MHz (space-to-Earth),
6725-7025 MHz (Earth-to-space) by the fixed-satellite service shall be
in accordance with the provisions of Appendix 30B. The use of the bands
10.7-10.95 GHz (space-to-Earth), 11.2-11.45 GHz (space-to-Earth) and
12.75-13.25 GHz (Earth-to-space) by geostationary-satellite systems in
the fixed-satellite service shall be in accordance with the provisions
of Appendix 30B. The use of the bands 10.7-10.95 GHz (space-to-Earth),
11.2-11.45 GHz (space-to-Earth) and 12.75-13.25 GHz (Earth-to-space) by
a non-geostationary-satellite system in the fixed-satellite service is
subject to application of the provisions of No. 9.12 for coordination
with other non-geostationary-satellite systems in the fixed-satellite
service. Non-geostationary-satellite systems in the fixed-satellite
service shall not claim protection from geostationary-satellite
networks in the fixed-satellite service operating in accordance with
the Radio Regulations, irrespective of the dates of receipt by the
Bureau of the complete coordination or notification information, as
appropriate, for the non-geostationary-satellite systems in the fixed-
satellite service and of the complete coordination or notification
information, as appropriate, for the geostationary-satellite networks,
and No. 5.43A does not apply. Non-geostationary-satellite systems in
the fixed-satellite service in the above bands shall be operated in
such a way that any unacceptable interference that may occur during
their operation shall be rapidly eliminated.
(i) 5.441A In Uruguay, the frequency band 4800-4900 MHz, or
portions thereof, is identified for the implementation of International
Mobile Telecommunications (IMT). This identification does not preclude
the use of this frequency band by any application of the services to
which it is allocated and does not establish priority in the Radio
Regulations. The use of this frequency band for the implementation of
IMT is subject to agreement obtained with neighbouring countries, and
IMT stations shall not claim protection from stations of other
applications of the mobile service. Such use shall be in accordance
with Resolution 223 (Rev.WRC-15).
