Sec. 2.102 Assignment of frequencies.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the assignment of
frequencies and bands of frequencies to all stations and classes of
stations and the licensing and authorizing of the use of all such
frequencies between 9 kHz and 400 GHz, and the actual use of such
frequencies for radio communication or for any other purpose, including
the transfer of energy by radio, shall be in accordance with the Table
of Frequency Allocations in Sec. 2.106.
(b) On the condition that harmful interference will not be caused to
services operating in accordance with the Table of Frequency Allocations
the following exceptions to paragraph (a) of this section may be
authorized:
(1) In individual cases the Commission may, without rule making
proceedings, authorize on a temporary basis only, the use of frequencies
not in accordance with the Table of Frequency Allocations for projects
of short duration or emergencies where the Commission finds that
important or exceptional circumstances require such utilization. Such
authorizations are not intended to develop a service to be operated on
frequencies other than those allocated such service.
(2) A station for the development of techniques or equipment to be
employed by services set forth in column 5 of the Table of Frequency
Allocations may be authorized the use of frequencies allocated to those
services or classes of stations.
(3) Experimental stations pursuant to part 5, may be authorized the
use of any frequency or frequency band not exclusively allocated to the
passive services (including the Radio Astronomy Service).
(4) In the event a band is reallocated so as to delete its
availability for use by a particular service, the Commission may provide
for the further interim use of the band by stations in that service for
a temporary, specific period of time.
[[Page 461]]
(c) Non-Government stations may be authorized to use Government
frequencies in the bands above 25 MHz if the Commission finds, after
consultations with the appropriate Government agency or agencies, that
such use is necessary for coordination of Government and non-Government
activities: Provided, however, that:
(1) Non-Government operation on Government frequencies shall conform
with the conditions agreed upon by the Commission and the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) (the more
important of which are contained in paragraphs (c) (2), (3), and (4) of
this section);
(2) Such operations shall be in accordance with NTIA rules governing
the service to which the frequencies involved are allocated;
(3) Such operations shall not cause harmful interference to
Government stations and, should harmful interference result, that the
interfering non-Government operation shall immediately terminate; and
(4) Non-Government operation has been certified as necessary by the
Government agency involved and this certification has been furnished, in
writing, to the non-Government licensee with which communication is
required.
(d) Aircraft stations may communicate with stations of the maritime
mobile service. They shall then conform to those provisions of the
international Radio Regulations which relate to the maritime mobile
service. For this purpose aircraft stations should use the frequencies
allocated to the maritime mobile service. However, having regard to
interference which may be caused by aircraft stations at high altitudes,
maritime mobile frequencies in the bands above 30 MHz shall not be used
by aircraft stations in any specific area without the prior agreement of
all administrations of the area in which interference is likely to be
caused. In particular, aircraft stations operating in Region 1 should
not use frequencies in the bands above 30 MHz allocated to the maritime
mobile service by virtue of any agreement between administrations in
that Region.
(e) Non-Government services operating on frequencies in the band 25-
50 MHz must recognize that it is shared with various services of other
countries; that harmful interference may be caused by skywave signals
received from distant stations of all services of the United States and
other countries radiating power on frequencies in this band; and that no
protection from such harmful interference generally can be expected.
Persons desiring to avoid such harmful interference should consider
operation on available frequencies higher in the radio spectrum not
generally subject to this type of difficulty.
(f) The stations of a service shall use frequencies so separated
from the limits of a band allocated to that service as not to cause
harmful interference to allocated services in immediately adjoining
frequency bands.
(g) In the bands above 25 MHz which are allocated to the non-
Government land mobile service, fixed stations may be authorized on the
following conditions:
(1) That such stations are authorized in the service shown in Column
5 of the Table of Frequency Allocations in the band in question;
(2) That harmful interference will not be caused to services
operating in accordance with the Table of Frequency Allocations.
(h) Special provisions regarding the use of spectrum allocated to
the fixed and land mobile services below 25 MHz by non-Government
stations.
(1) Only in the following circumstances will authority be extended
to stations in the fixed service to operate on frequencies below 25 MHz.
(i) With respect to aeronautical fixed stations, only when a showing
can be made that more suitable facilities are not available.
(ii) With respect to fixed stations, except aeronautical fixed
stations, only to:
(A) Provide communication circuits in emergency and/or disaster
situations, where safety of life and property are concerned;
(B) Provide standby and/or backup facilities to satellite and cable
circuits used for international public correspondence;
[[Page 462]]
(C) Provide standby and/or backup communications circuits to regular
domestic communication circuits which have been disrupted by disasters
and/or emergencies;
(D) Provide communication circuits wholly within the State of Alaska
and the United States insular areas in the Pacific; and
(E) Provide communication circuits to support operations which are
highly important to the national interest and where other means of
telecommunication are unavailable.
(2) Only in the following circumstances will authority be extended
to stations in the land mobile service to operate below 25 MHz.
(i) Provide communication circuits in emergency and/or disaster
situations, where safety of life and property are concerned;
(ii) Provide standby and/or backup communications circuits to
regular domestic communication circuits which have been disrupted by
disasters and/or emergencies;
(iii) Provide communication circuits wholly within the State of
Alaska and the United States insular areas in the Pacific; and
(iv) Provide communication circuits to support operations which are
highly important to the national interest and where other means of
telecommunication are unavailable.
(3) Except in the State of Alaska and the United States Pacific
insular areas, the Commission does not intend to seek international
protection for assignments made pursuant to paragraphs (h) (1)(ii) and
(2) of this section; this results in the following constraints upon the
circuits/assignments.
(i) The Commission will not accept responsibility for protection of
the circuits from harmful interference caused by foreign operations.
(ii) In the event that a complaint of harmful interference resulting
from operation of these circuits is received from a foreign source, the
offending circuit(s) must cease operation on the particular frequency
concerned.
(iii) In order to accommodate the situations described in paragraphs
(h)(3) (i) and (ii) of this section, equipments shall 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.
Sec. 2.103 Government use of non-Government frequencies.
(a) Government stations may be authorized to use non-Government
frequencies in the bands above 25 MHz (except the 764-776 MHz and 794-
806 MHz public safety bands) if the Commission finds that such use is
necessary for coordination of Government and non-Government activities:
Provided, however, that:
(1) Government operation on non-Government frequencies shall conform
with the conditions agreed upon by the Commission and the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration (the more important of
which are contained in paragraphs (a)(2), (a)(3) and (a)(4) of this
section);
(2) Such operations shall be in accordance with Commission rules
governing the service to which the frequencies involved are allocated;
(3) Such operations shall not cause harmful interference to non-
Government stations and, should harmful interference result, that the
interfering Government operation shall immediately terminate; and
(4) Government operation has been certified as necessary by the non-
Government licensees involved and this certification has been furnished,
in writing, to the Government agency with which communication is
required.
(b) Government stations may be authorized to use channels in the
764-776 MHz, 794-806 MHz and 4940-4990 MHz public safety bands with non-
Government entities if the Commission finds such use necessary; where:
(1) The stations are used for interoperability or part of a
Government/non-Government shared or joint-use system;
(2) The Government entity obtains the approval of the non-Government
(State/local government) licensee(s) or applicant(s) involved;
(3) Government operation is in accordance with the Commission's
Rules governing operation of this band and conforms with any conditions
agreed
[[Page 463]]
upon by the Commission and the National Telecommunications and
Information Administration; and
(4) Interoperability, shared or joint-use systems are the subject of
a mutual agreement between the Government and non-Government entities.
This section does not preclude other arrangements or agreements as
permitted under part 90 of the rules. See 47 CFR 90.179 and 90.421 of
this chapter.
[63 FR 58650, Nov. 2, 1998, as amended at 68 FR 38638, June 30, 2003]
Sec. 2.104 International Table of Frequency Allocations.
(a) The International Table of Frequency Allocations is subdivided
into the Region 1 Table (column 1 of Sec. 2.106), the Region 2 Table
(column 2 of Sec. 2.106), and the Region 3 Table (column 3 of Sec.
2.106). The International Table is included for informational purposes
only.
(b) Regions. For the allocation of frequencies the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU) has divided the world into three Regions
\1\ as shown in Figure 1 of this section and described as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ It should be noted that where the words ``regions'' or
``regional'' are without a capital ``R,'' they do not relate to the
three Regions here defined for purposes of frequency allocation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Region 1. Region 1 includes the area limited on the east by line
A (lines A, B and C are defined below) and on the west by line B,
excluding any of the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran which
lies between these limits. It also includes the whole of the territory
of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russian Federation, Georgia, Kazakstan,
Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey and
Ukraine and the area to the north of Russian Federation which lies
between lines A and C.
(2) Region 2. Region 2 includes the area limited on the east by line
B and on the west by line C.
(3) Region 3. Region 3 includes the area limited on the east by line
C and on the west by line A, except any of the territory of Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Russian Federation, Georgia, Kazakstan, Mongolia,
Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey and Ukraine and
the area to the north of Russian Federation. It also includes that part
of the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran lying outside of those
limits.
(4) The lines A, B and C are defined as follows:
(i) Line A. Line A extends from the North Pole along meridian
40[deg] East of Greenwich to parallel 40[deg] North; thence by great
circle arc to the intersection of meridian 60[deg] East and the Tropic
of Cancer; thence along the meridian 60[deg] East to the South Pole.
(ii) Line B. Line B extends from the North Pole along meridian
10[deg] West of Greenwich to its intersection with parallel 72[deg]
North; thence by great circle arc to the intersection of meridian
50[deg] West and parallel 40[deg] North; thence by great circle arc to
the intersection of meridian 20[deg] West and parallel 10[deg] South;
thence along meridian 20[deg] West to the South Pole.
(iii) Line C. Line C extends from the North Pole by great circle arc
to the intersection of parallel 65[deg]30[min] North with the
international boundary in Bering Strait; thence by great circle arc to
the intersection of meridian 165[deg] East of Greenwich and parallel
50[deg] North; thence by great circle arc to the intersection of
meridian 170[deg] West and parallel 10[deg] North; thence along parallel
10[deg] North to its intersection with meridian 120[deg] West; thence
along meridian 120[deg] West to the South Pole.
(c) Areas. To further assist in the international allocation of the
radio spectrum, the ITU has established five special geographical areas
and they are defined as follows:
(1) The term ``African Broadcasting Area'' means:
(i) African countries, parts of countries, territories and groups of
territories situated between the parallels 40[deg] South and 30[deg]
North;
(ii) Islands in the Indian Ocean west of meridian 60[deg] East of
Greenwich, situated between the parallel 40[deg] South and the great
circle arc joining the points 45[deg] East, 11[deg]30[min] North and
60[deg] East, 15[deg] North; and
(iii) Islands in the Atlantic Ocean east of line B, situated between
the parallels 40[deg] South and 30[deg] North.
(2) The ``European Broadcasting Area'' is bounded on the west by the
[[Page 464]]
western boundary of Region 1, on the east by the meridian 40[deg] East
of Greenwich and on the south by the parallel 30[deg] North so as to
include the northern part of Saudi Arabia and that part of those
countries bordering the Mediterranean within these limits. In addition,
Iraq, Jordan and that part of the territory of Syria, Turkey and Ukraine
lying outside the above limits are included in the European Broadcasting
Area.
(3) The ``European Maritime Area'' is bounded to the north by a line
extending along parallel 72[deg] North from its intersection with
meridian 55[deg] East of Greenwich to its intersection with meridian
5[deg] West, then along meridian 5[deg] West to its intersection with
parallel 67[deg] North, thence along parallel 67[deg] North to its
intersection with meridian 32[deg] West; to the west by a line extending
along meridian 32[deg] West to its intersection with parallel 30[deg]
North; to the south by a line extending along parallel 30[deg] North to
its intersection with meridian 43[deg] East; to the east by a line
extending along meridian 43[deg] East to its intersection with parallel
60[deg] North, thence along parallel 60[deg] North to its intersection
with meridian 55[deg] East and thence along meridian 55[deg] East to its
intersection with parallel 72[deg] North.
(4) The ``Tropical Zone'' (see Figure 1 of this section) is defined
as:
(i) The whole of that area in Region 2 between the Tropics of Cancer
and Capricorn.
(ii) The whole of that area in Regions 1 and 3 contained between the
parallels 30[deg] North and 35[deg] South with the addition of:
(A) The area contained between the meridians 40[deg] East and
80[deg] East of Greenwich and the parallels 30[deg] North and 40[deg]
North; and
(B) That part of Libya north of parallel 30[deg] North.
(iii) In Region 2, the Tropical Zone may be extended to parallel
33[deg] North, subject to special agreements between the countries
concerned in that Region.
(5) A sub-Region is an area consisting of two or more countries in
the same Region.
(d) Categories of services and allocations. (1) Primary and
secondary services. Where, in a box of the International Table in Sec.
2.106, a band is indicated as allocated to more than one service, either
on a worldwide or Regional basis, such services are listed in the
following order:
(i) Services the names of which are printed in ``capitals''
(example: FIXED); these are called ``primary'' services; and
(ii) Services the names of which are printed in ``normal
characters'' (example: Mobile); these are called ``secondary'' services
(see paragraph (d)(3) of this section).
(2) Additional remarks shall be printed in normal characters
(example: MOBILE except aeronautical mobile).
(3) Stations of a secondary service:
(i) 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 later date;
(ii) 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; and
(iii) Can claim protection, however, from harmful interference from
stations of the same or other secondary service(s) to which frequencies
may be assigned at a later date.
(4) Where a band is indicated in a footnote of the International
Table as allocated to a service ``on a secondary basis'' in an area
smaller than a Region, or in a particular country, this is a secondary
service (see paragraph (d)(3) of this section).
(5) Where a band is indicated in a footnote of the International
Table as allocated to a service ``on a primary basis'', in an area
smaller than a Region, or in a particular country, this is a primary
service only in that area or country.
(e) Additional allocations. (1) Where a band is indicated in a
footnote of the International Table as ``also allocated'' to a service
in an area smaller than a Region, or in a particular country, this is an
``additional'' allocation, i.e. an allocation which is added in this
area or in this country to the service or services which are indicated
in the International Table.
[[Page 465]]
(2) If the footnote does not include any restriction on the service
or services concerned apart from the restriction to operate only in a
particular area or country, stations of this service or these services
shall have equality of right to operate with stations of the other
primary service or services indicated in the International Table.
(3) If restrictions are imposed on an additional allocation in
addition to the restriction to operate only in a particular area or
country, this is indicated in the footnote of the International Table.
(f) Alternative allocations. (1) Where a band is indicated in a
footnote of the International Table as ``allocated'' to one or more
services in an area smaller than a Region, or in a particular country,
this is an ``alternative'' allocation, i.e. an allocation which
replaces, in this area or in this country, the allocation indicated in
the Table.
(2) If the footnote does not include any restriction on stations of
the service or services concerned, apart from the restriction to operate
only in a particular area or country, these stations of such a service
or services shall have an equality of right to operate with stations of
the primary service or services, indicated in the International Table,
to which the band is allocated in other areas or countries.
(3) If restrictions are imposed on stations of a service to which an
alternative allocation is made, in addition to the restriction to
operate only in a particular country or area, this is indicated in the
footnote.
(g) Miscellaneous provisions. (1) Where it is indicated that a
service may operate in a specific frequency band subject to not causing
harmful interference, this means also that this service cannot claim
protection from harmful interference caused by other services to which
the band is allocated under Chapter SII of the international Radio
Regulations.
(2) Except if otherwise specified in a footnote, the term ``fixed
service'', where appearing in the International Table, does not include
systems using ionospheric scatter propagation.
(h) Description of the International Table of Frequency Allocations.
(1) The heading of the International Table includes three columns, each
of which corresponds to one of the Regions (see paragraph (b) of this
section). Where an allocation occupies the whole of the width of the
Table or only one or two of the three columns, this is a worldwide
allocation or a Regional allocation, respectively.
(2) The frequency band referred to in each allocation is indicated
in the left-hand top corner of the part of the Table concerned.
(3) Within each of the categories specified in paragraph (d)(1) of
this section, services are listed in alphabetical order according to the
French language. The order of listing does not indicate relative
priority within each category.
(4) In the case where there is a parenthetical addition to an
allocation in the International Table, that service allocation is
restricted to the type of operation so indicated.
(5) The footnote references which appear in the International Table
below the allocated service or services apply to the whole of the
allocation concerned.
(6) The footnote references which appear to the right of the name of
a service are applicable only to that particular service.
(7) In certain cases, the names of countries appearing in the
footnotes have been simplified in order to shorten the text.

Sec. 2.105 United States Table of Frequency Allocations.
(a) The United States Table of Frequency Allocations (United States
Table) is subdivided into the Federal Government Table of Frequency
Allocations (Federal Government Table, column 4 of Sec. 2.106) and the
Non-Federal Government Table of Frequency Allocations (Non-Federal
Government Table, column 5 of Sec. 2.106). The United States Table is
based on the Region 2 Table because the relevant area of jurisdiction is
located primarily in Region 2 \1\ (i.e., the 50 States, the District of
Columbia, the Caribbean insular areas \2\ and some of the Pacific
insular areas).\3\ \4\ The Federal Government Table is administered by
the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA)
\5\, whereas the Non-Federal Government Table is administered by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC).\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Sec. 2.104(a)(1) for definition of Region 2.
\2\ The Caribbean insular areas are: The Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico; the unincorporated territory of the United States Virgin Islands;
and Navassa Island.
\3\ The Pacific insular areas located in Region 2 are: Johnston
Atoll and Midway Atoll.
\4\ The operation of stations in the Pacific insular areas located
in Region 3 are generally governed by the International plan for Region
3 (i.e., column 3 of Sec. 2.106). The Pacific insular areas located in
Region 3 are: the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands; the
unincorporated territory of American Samoa; the unincorporated territory
of Guam; and Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Kingman Reef,
Palmyra Island and Wake Island.
\5\ Section 305(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
See Pub. Law 102-538, 106 Stat. 3533 (1992).
\6\ The Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) In the United States, radio spectrum may be allocated to either
Federal government or non-Federal government 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 government FIXED, non-Federal
government MOBILE]. The terms used to designate categories of services
and allocations \7\ in columns 4 and 5 of Sec. 2.106 correspond to the
terms employed by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in the
international Radio Regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ Definitions of the various radio services used are contained in
Sec. 2.1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(c) Category of services. (1) Any segment of the radio spectrum may
be allocated to the Federal government and/or non-Federal government
sectors either on an exclusive or shared basis for use by one or more
radio services. In the case where an allocation has been made to more
than one service, such services are listed in the following order:
(i) Services, the names of which are printed in ``capitals''
[example: FIXED]; these are called ``primary'' services;
(ii) Services, the names of which are printed in ``normal
characters'' [example: Mobile]; these are called ``secondary'' services.
(2) Stations of a secondary service:
(i) 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 later date;
(ii) 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; and
(iii) Can claim protection, however, from harmful interference from
stations of the same or other secondary service(s) to which frequencies
may be assigned at a later date.
(d) Format of the United States Table and the Rule Part Cross
Reference Column. (1) The frequency band referred to in each allocation,
column 4 for Federal government and column 5 for non-Federal government,
is indicated in the left-hand top corner of the column. If there is no
service or footnote indicated for a band of frequencies in either column
4 or 5, then the Federal government or the non-Federal government
sector, respectively, has no access to that band except as provided for
by Sec. 2.102.
(2) When the Federal Government and Non-Federal Government Tables
are exactly the same for a shared band, the line between columns 4 and 5
is deleted and the allocations are shown once.
(3) The Federal Government Table, given in column 4, is included for
informational purposes only.
[[Page 468]]
(4) In the case where there is a parenthetical addition to an
allocation in the United States Table [example: FIXED-SATELLITE (space-
to-earth)], that service allocation is restricted to the type of
operation so indicated.
(5) The following symbols are used to designate footnotes in the
United States Table:
(i) Any footnote consisting of ``S5.'' followed by one or more
digits, e.g., S5.53, or any footnote not prefixed by a letter, e.g.,
459, denotes an international footnote. Where an international footnote
is applicable, without modification, to the United States Table, the
footnote appears in the United States Table (columns 4 and 5) and
denotes a stipulation affecting both the Federal Government Table and
the Non-Federal Government Table. If, however, an international footnote
pertains to a service allocated only for Federal government or non-
Federal government use, the international footnote will be placed only
in the affected Table. For example, ``AMATEUR S5.142'' shall be shown
only in the Non-Federal Government Table.
(ii) Any footnote consisting of the letters US followed by one or
more digits, e.g., US7, denotes a stipulation affecting both the Federal
Government Table and the Non-Federal Government Table.
(iii) Any footnote consisting of the letters NG followed by one or
more digits, e.g., NG2, denotes a stipulation applicable only to the
Non-Federal Government Table (column 5).
(iv) Any footnote consisting of the letter G following by one or
more digits, e.g., G2, denotes a stipulation applicable only to the
Federal Government Table (column 4).
(6) If a frequency or frequency band has been allocated to a
radiocommunication service in the Non-Federal Government Table, then a
cross reference may be added for the pertinent FCC Rule part (column 6
of Sec. 2.106). For example, the 849-851 MHz band is allocated to the
non-Federal government aeronautical mobile service, 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 the Table. The exact use that can be made of any
given frequency or frequency band (e.g., channelling plans, allowable
emissions, etc.) is given in the FCC Rule part(s) so indicated. The FCC
Rule parts in this column are not allocations and are provided for
informational purposes only. This column also may contain explanatory
notes for informational purposes only.

In the bands 1350-1400 MHz and 4950-4990 MHz, every practicable
effort will be made to avoid the assignment of frequencies to stations
in the fixed and mobile services that could interfere with radio
astronomy observations within the geographic areas given above. In
addition, every practicable effort will be made to avoid assignment of
frequencies in these bands to stations in the aeronautical mobile
service which operate outside of those geographic areas, but which may
cause harmful interference to the listed observatories. Should such
assignments result in harmful interference to these observatories, the
situation will be remedied to the extent practicable.

been received by the ITU Radiocommunication Bureau (Bureau) prior to 31
January 1992 shall operate on an equal basis with stations in the fixed-
satellite service; after that date, new geostationary space stations in
the space research service will operate on a secondary basis. Until
those geostationary space stations in the space research service for
which information for advance publication has been received by the
Bureau prior to 31 January 1992 cease to operate in this band:
a. The e.i.r.p. density of emissions from any earth station in the
fixed-satellite service operating with a space station in geostationary-
satellite orbit shall not exceed 71 dBW in any 6 MHz band from 13.77 to
13.78 GHz;
b. The e.i.r.p. density of emissions from any earth station in the
fixed-satellite service operating with a space station in non-
geostationary-satellite orbit shall not exceed 51 dBW in any 6 MHz band
from 13.77 to 13.78 GHz.
Automatic power control may be used to increase the e.i.r.p. density
in any 6 MHz band in these frequency ranges to compensate for rain
attenuation, to the extent that the power flux-density at the fixed-
satellite service space station does not exceed the value resulting from
use by an earth station of an e.i.r.p. of 71 dBW or 51 dBW, as
appropriate, in any 6 MHz band in clear-sky conditions.
US359 In the band 15.43-15.63 GHz, use of the fixed-satellite
service (Earth-to-space) is limited to non-Government feeder links of
non-geostationary systems in the mobile-satellite service. These non-
Government earth stations shall be coordinated through the Frequency
Assignment Subcommittee (see Annex 3 of Recommendation ITU-R S.1340).
US360 In the band 33-36 GHz, the Government fixed-satellite service
(space-to-Earth) is also allocated on a primary basis. Coordination
between Government fixed-satellite service systems and non-Government
systems operating in accordance with the United States Table of
Frequency Allocations is required.
US361 In the band 1432-1435 MHz, Government stations in the fixed
and mobile services may operate indefinitely on a primary basis at the
23 sites listed in the following table. All other Government stations in
the fixed and mobile services shall operate in the band 1432-1435 MHz on

1432 MHz is also allocated to the fixed-satellite service (space-to-
Earth) on a primary basis, limited to feeder links for the Non-Voice
Non-Geostationary Mobile-Satellite Service, and contingent on (1) the
completion of sharing studies including the measurement of emissions
from equipment that would be employed in operational systems and
demonstrations to validate the studies as called for in Resolution 127
(WRC-2000), (2) the adoption of worldwide feeder link allocations at the
2003 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-03), and (3) compliance
with any technical and operational requirements that may be imposed at
WRC-03 to protect passive services in the 1400-1427 MHz band from
unwanted emissions associated
[[Page 613]]
with such allocations. These allocations become effective upon adoption
of worldwide allocations at WRC-03. If no such allocations are adopted
by WRC-03, these allocations shall be considered null and void, with no
grandfathering of rights. Individual assignments shall be coordinated
with the Interdepartmental Radio Advisory Committee's (IRAC) Frequency
Assignment Subcommittee (FAS) (see, for example, Recommendations ITU-R
RA.769-1 and ITU R SA.1029-1) to ensure the protection of passive
services in the 1400-1427 MHz band. Coordination shall not be completed
until the feeder downlink system is tested and certified to be in
conformance with the technical and operational requirements for the
protection of passive services in the 1400-1427 MHz band. Certification
and all supporting documentation shall be submitted to the Commission
and FAS prior to launch.

non-military radiolocation in the band 33.4-36.0 GHz shall be secondary
to the military services.
G42 Space command, control, range and range rate systems for earth
station transmission only (including installations on certain Navy
ships) may be accommodated on a co-equal basis with the fixed and mobile
services in the band 1761-1842 MHz. Specific frequencies required to be
used at any location will be satisfied on a coordinated case-by-case
basis.
G56 Government radiolocation in the bands 1215-1300, 2900-3100,
5350-5650 and 9300-9500 MHz is primarily for the military services;
however, limited secondary use is permitted by other Government agencies

secondary to military radiolocation, except in the sub-band 15.7-16.2
GHz airport surface detection equipment (ASDE) is permitted on a co-
equal basis subject to coordination with the military departments.
G100 The bands 235-322 MHz and 335.4-399.9 MHz are also allocated on
a primary basis to the mobile-satellite service, limited to military
operations.
G104 In the bands 7450-7550 and 8175-8215 MHz, it is agreed that
although the military space radio communication systems, which include
earth stations near the proposed meteorological-satellite installations
will precede the meteorological-satellite installations, engineering
adjustments to either the military or the meteorological-satellite
systems or both will be made as mutually required to assure compatible
operations of the systems concerned.
G106 The bands 2501-2502 kHz, 5003-5005 kHz, 10003-10005 kHz, 15005-
15010 kHz, 19990-19995 kHz, 20005-20010 kHz and 25005-25010 kHz are also
allocated, on a secondary basis, to the space research service. The
space research transmissions are subject to immediate temporary or
permanent shutdown in the event of interference to the reception of the
standard frequency and time broadcasts.
G109 All assignments in the band 157.0375-157.1875 MHz are subject
to adjustment to other frequencies in this band as long term U.S.
maritime VHF planning develops, particularly that planning incident to
support of the National VHF-FM Radiotelephone Safety and Distress System
(See Doc. 15624/1-1.9.111/1.9.125).
G110 Government ground-based stations in the aeronautical
radionavigation service may be authorized between 3500-3650 MHz when
accommodation in the band 2700-2900 MHz is not technically and/or
economically feasible.
G114 The band 1369.05-1390 MHz is also allocated to the fixed-
satellite service (space-to-Earth) and to the mobile-satellite service
(space-to-Earth) on a primary basis for the relay of nuclear burst data.
G115 In the band 13360-13410 kHz, the fixed service is allocated on
a primary basis outside the conterminous United States. Within
[[Page 621]]
the conterminous United States, assignments in the fixed service are
permitted, and will be protected for national defense purposes or, if
they are to be used only in an emergency jeopardizing life, public
safety, or important property under conditions calling for immediate
communication where other means of communication do not exist.
G116 The band 7125-7155 MHz is also allocated for earth-to-space
transmissions in the Space Operations Service at a limited number of
sites (not to exceed two), subject to established coordination
procedures.
G117 In the bands 7.25-7.75 GHz, 7.9-8.4 GHz, 17.8-21.2 GHz, 30-31
GHz, 33-36 GHz, 39.5-41 GHz, 43.5-45.5 GHz and 50.4-51.4 GHz, the
Government fixed-satellite and mobile-satellite services are limited to
military systems.
G118 Government fixed stations may be authorized in the band 1700-
1710 MHz only if spectrum is not available in the band 1710-1850 MHz.
G120 Development of airborne primary radars in the band 2310-2385
MHz with peak transmitter power in excess of 250 watts for use in the
United States is not permitted.
G122 In the bands 2390-2400 MHz, 2402-2417 MHz, and 4940-4990 MHz,
Government operations may be authorized on a non-interference basis to
authorized non-Government operations, but shall not hinder the
implementation of any non-Government operations.
G123 The bands 2300-2310 and 2400-2402 MHz were identified for
reallocation, effective August 10, 1995, for exclusive non-Government
use under Title VI of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993.
Effective August 10, 1995, any Government operations in these bands are
on a non-interference basis to authorized non-Government operations and
shall not hinder the implementation of any non-Government operations.
G124 The band 2417-2450 MHz was identified for reallocation,
effective August 10, 1995, for mixed Government and non-Government use
under Title VI of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993.
G128 Use of the band 56.9-57 GHz by inter-satellite systems is
limited to transmissions between satellites in geostationary orbit, to
transmissions between satellites in geostationary satellite orbit and
those in high-Earth orbit, to transmissions from satellites in
geostationary satellite orbit to those in low-Earth orbit, and to
transmissions from non-geostationary satellites in high-Earth orbit to
those in low-Earth orbit. For links between satellites in the
geostationary satellite orbit, the single entry power flux-density at
all altitudes from 0 km to 1000 km above the Earth's surface, for all
conditions and for all methods of modulation, shall not exceed -147 dB
(W/m\2\/100 MHz) for all angles of arrival.
G129 Federal Government wind profilers are authorized to operate on
a primary basis in the radiolocation service in the frequency band 448-
450 MHz with an authorized bandwidth of no more than 2 MHz centered on
449 MHz, subject to the following conditions: (1) wind profiler
locations must be pre-coordinated with the military services to protect
fixed military radars; and (2) wind profiler operations shall not cause
harmful interference to, nor claim protection from, military mobile
radiolocation stations that are engaged in critical national defense
operations.
G130 Federal Government stations in the radiolocation service
operating in the band 5350-5470 MHz, shall not cause harmful
interference to, nor claim protection from, Federal stations in the
aeronautical radionavigation service operating in accordance with ITU
Radio Regulation No. 5.449.
G131 Federal Government stations in the radiolocation service
operating in the band 5470-5650 MHz, with the exception of ground-based

Sec. 2.107 Radio astronomy station notification.
(a) Pursuant to No. 1492 of Article 13 and Section F of Appendix 3
to the
[[Page 623]]
international Radio Regulations (Geneva, 1982), operators of radio
astronomy stations desiring international recognition of their use of
specific radio astronomy frequencies or bands of frequencies for
reception, should file the following information with the Commission for
inclusion in the Master International Frequency Register:
(1) The center of the frequency band observed, in kilohertz up to
28,000 kHz inclusive, in megahertz above 28,000 kHz to 10,500 MHz
inclusive and in gigahertz above 10,500 MHz.
(2) The date (actual or foreseen, as appropriate) when reception of
the frequency band begins.
(3) The name and location of the station, including geographical
coordinates in degrees and minutes.
(4) The width of the frequency band (in kHz) observed by the
station.
(5) The antenna type and dimensions, effective area and angular
coverage in azimuth and elevation.
(6) The regular hours of reception (in UTC) of the observed
frequency.
(7) The overall receiving system noise temperature (in kelvins)
referred to the output of the receiving antenna.
(8) The class of observations to be taken. Class A observations are
those in which the sensitivity of the equipment is not a primary factor.
Class B observations are those of such a nature that they can be made
only with advanced low-noise receivers using the best techniques.
(9) The name and mailing address of the operator.
(b) The permanent discontinuance of observations, or any change to
the information above, should also be filed with the Commission.
(c) Observations being conducted on frequencies or frequency bands
not allocated to the radio astronomy service should be reported as in
paragraph (a) of this section for information purposes. Information in
this category will not be submitted for entry in the Master
International Frequency Register and protection from interference will
not be afforded such operations by stations in other services.
Sec. 2.108 Policy regarding the use of the fixed-satellite allocations
in the 3.6-3.7, 4.5-4.8, and 5.85-5.925 GHz bands.
The use of the fixed-satellite allocations in the United States in
the above bands will be governed by footnote US245. Use of the fixed-
satellite service allocations in these bands is for the international
fixed-satellite service, that is, for international inter-continental
communications. Case-by-case electromagnetic compatibility analysis is
required with all users of the bands. It is anticipated that one earth
station on each coast can be successfully coordinated. Specific
locations of these earth stations depend upon service requirements and
case-by-case EMC analyses that demonstrate compatible operations.
