47 CFR Part 2

[DA 02-1872]


Non-Substantive Revisions to the Table of Frequency Allocation

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document revises the Commission's Table of Frequency 
Allocations (``Allocation Table''). Specifically, it updates the 
International Table of Frequency Allocations (``International Table''). 
In order to assist the Federal Register staff in codifying 
international footnotes and in order to prevent confusion to the 
public, we are updating the Commission's Allocation Table in its 
entirety in order to remove the ``S'' prefix from the international 
footnotes. We also take this opportunity to update the International 
Table within our rules to reflect the Table of Frequency Allocations as 
it is found in the ITU Radio Regulations. The Commission believes that 
this action will assist users of the Allocation Table with their 
spectrum planning.

DATES: Effective September 23, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tom Mooring, (202) 418-2450, or 
Shameeka Parrott, (202) 418-2062, Policy and Rules Division, Office of 
Engineering and Technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a summary of the Commission's Order, 
DA 02-1872, adopted August 1, 2002, and released August 5, 2002. The 
full text of this document is available for inspection and copying 
during regular business hours in the FCC Reference Center (Room CY-
A257), 445 12th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554. The complete text of 
this document also may be purchased from the Commission's copy 
contractor, Qualex International, 445 12th Street, SW., Room, CY-B402, 
Washington, DC 20554. The full text may also be downloaded at: http://www.fcc.gov. Alternative formats are available to persons with 
disabilities by contacting Brian Millin at (202) 418-7426 or TTY (202) 
418-7365.

Summary of the Order

    1. This Order amends the Commission's Table of Frequency 
Allocations (``Allocation Table'') to update the International Table of 
Frequency Allocations (``International Table''). The International 
Table is provided in Sec.  2.106 of our Rules for informational 
purposes only and is being updated to reflect the 2001 International 
Telecommunication Union (``ITU'') Radio Regulations. As a consequence 
of updating the international footnotes within the International Table, 
we are also revising footnote US342 (which concerns the protection of 
the radio astronomy service (``RAS'') in various frequency bands 
allocated to other services) and are re-numbering the existing versions 
of nine revised international footnotes as United States footnotes, 
thereby maintaining the status quo for the United States Table of 
Frequency Allocations (``United States Table'') until the Commission 
can consider the substantive changes in future proceedings. This 
ministerial action does not make any substantive changes to our 
Allocation Table and thus, does not change any licensee's legal rights 
or responsibilities.
    2. The Commission's Allocation Table, which is codified at Sec.  
2.106 of our rules, consists of three tables: the International Table, 
the United States Table, and cross references to other parts of our 
rules.

International Table

    3. For the allocation of frequencies, the ITU has divided the world 
into three Regions and codifies the allocations for these Regions in 
its Table of Frequency Allocations. In Sec.  2.106 of our rules, the 
ITU's Table of Frequency Allocations has been re-named as the 
International Table. The International Table is subdivided into the 
Region 1 Table (column 1), the Region 2 Table (column 2), and the 
Region 3 Table (column 3). The International Table is included in our 
rules for informational purposes only.
    4. The ITU Radio Regulations, Edition of 2001, became effective 
internationally on January 1, 2002, except as provided in the 
references in Article 59. We are updating Sec.  2.100 of our rules to 
reflect this fact. In its 2001 Radio Regulations, the ITU modified the 
international footnotes to its Table of Frequency Allocations by 
deleting the ``S'' prefix. For example, international footnote S5.53 
was revised as international footnote 5.53. In addition, the ITU 
modified certain international footnotes to remove the ``S'' prefix 
from references to the Radio Regulations. For example, Article S31 was 
revised as Article 31 in footnote 5.110.
    5. In order to assist the Federal Register in codifying 
international footnotes and in order to prevent confusion to the 
public, we are updating the Commission's Allocation Table in its 
entirety in order to remove the ``S'' prefix from the international 
footnotes. In addition, we take this opportunity to update the 
International Table within our rules to reflect the Table of Frequency 
Allocations as it is found in the ITU Radio Regulations, Edition of 
2001, Article 5, Section IV. We believe that this action will assist 
users of the Allocation Table with their spectrum planning.

Ministerial Changes to the United States Table

    6. In the United States, radio spectrum may be allocated to either 
Federal Government or non-Federal Government use exclusively, or for 
shared use. As such, the United States Table is subdivided into the 
Federal Government Table of Frequency Allocations (``Federal Government 
Table'') and the Non-Federal Government Table of Frequency Allocations 
(``Non-Federal Government Table''). The Federal Government Table 
(column 4) is administered by the National Telecommunications and 
Information Administration (``NTIA''), whereas the Non-Federal 
Government Table (column 5) is administered by the Commission.
    7. Over the course of time, the Commission has adopted numerous 
international footnotes domestically and added them to the United 
States Table. We have reviewed each of these international footnotes. 
In order to update the International Table without making substantive 
changes to the United States Table, we have revised footnote US342 
(which concerns the protection of the RAS in various frequency bands 
allocated to other services) and are re-numbering the existing versions 
of nine revised international footnotes as United States footnotes 
until such time as the Commission can consider these allocation changes 
to the United States Table.

Administrative Procedures Act Requirements and Ordering Clause

    8. The International Table and FCC rule part(s) are included in the 
Commission's rules for informational purposes only. The United States 
Table is amended herein by incorporating non-substantive, editorial 
revisions only. Therefore, there is good cause for not using notice and 
comment procedure in this case, and for shortening the effective date 
of the amendments from a date not less than 30 days after publication 
in the Federal Register to the date of such publication. We find that 
the normal procedures for notice and comment and for publication as 
required under Section 553 of the

[[Page 59601]]

Administrative Procedures Act would be impracticable, unnecessary, or 
contrary to the public interest. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), (d)(3); 
Kessler v. FCC, 326 F.2d 673 (D.C. Cir. 1963).
    9. Part 2 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR part 2, IS AMENDED as 
set forth, effective September 23, 2002. This action is taken pursuant 
to authority found in Sec. Sec.  4(i) and 303 of the Communications Act 
of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i) and 303, and in Sec. Sec.  0.31, 
0.231(b) and 0.241 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 0.31, 0.231(b) and 
0.241.

International Footnotes

    Note: The International Telecommunication Union has re-numbered 
international footnotes using a new numbering scheme and has 
substantively revised the text of certain of these international 
footnotes. These international footnotes shall be listed immediately 
below this note in I. Until such time as the Commission has 
considered the substantively revised international footnotes that 
have previously been adopted domestically, certain of the old 
international footnotes shall apply in the United States. These 
footnotes appear immediately after footnote 5.565 in II.

I. New Numbering Scheme

    5.53 Administrations authorizing the use of frequencies below 9 kHz 
shall ensure that no harmful interference is caused thereby to the 
services to which the bands above 9 kHz are allocated.
    5.54 Administrations conducting scientific research using 
frequencies below 9 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.
    5.55 Additional allocation: in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, 
Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, the Russian Federation, Tajikistan and 
Turkmenistan, the band 14-17 kHz is also allocated to the 
radionavigation service on a primary basis.
    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, Bulgaria, Georgia, Kazakstan, Mongolia, 
Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Slovakia, the Czech Rep., Russian Federation, 
Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Ukraine, the frequencies 25 kHz and 50 kHz 
will be used for this purpose under the same conditions.
    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.
    5.58 Additional allocation: in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, 
Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, the Russian Federation, Tajikistan and 
Turkmenistan, the band 67-70 kHz is also allocated to the 
radionavigation service on a primary basis.
    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).
    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.
    5.61 In Region 2, the establishment and operation of stations in 
the maritime radionavigation service in the bands 70-90 kHz and 110-130 
kHz shall be subject to agreement obtained under No. 9.21 with 
administrations whose services, operating in accordance with the Table, 
may be affected. However, stations of the fixed, maritime mobile and 
radiolocation services shall not cause harmful interference to stations 
in the maritime radionavigation service established under such 
agreements.
    5.62 Administrations which operate stations in the radionavigation 
service in the band 90-110 kHz are urged to coordinate technical and 
operating characteristics in such a way as to avoid harmful 
interference to the services provided by these stations.
    5.64 Only classes A1A or F1B, A2C, A3C, F1C or F3C emissions are 
authorized for stations of the fixed service in the bands allocated to 
this service between 90 kHz and 160 kHz (148.5 kHz in Region 1) and for 
stations of the maritime mobile service in the bands allocated to this 
service between 110 kHz and 160 kHz (148.5 kHz in Region 1). 
Exceptionally, class J2B or J7B emissions are also authorized in the 
bands between 110 kHz and 160 kHz (148.5 kHz in Region 1) for stations 
of the maritime mobile service.
    5.65 Different category of service: in Bangladesh, the allocation 
of the bands 112-117.6 kHz and 126-129 kHz to the fixed and maritime 
mobile services is on a primary basis (see No. 5.33).
    5.66 Different category of service: in Germany, the allocation of 
the band 115-117.6 kHz to the fixed and maritime mobile services is on 
a primary basis (see No. 5.33) and to the radionavigation service on a 
secondary basis (see No. 5.32).
    5.67 Additional allocation: in Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Mongolia, 
Kyrgyzstan, Romania and Turkmenistan, the band 130-148.5 kHz is also 
allocated to the radionavigation service on a secondary basis. Within 
and between these countries this service shall have an equal right to 
operate.
    5.68 Alternative allocation: in Angola, Botswana, Burundi, the 
Congo, Malawi, Dem. Rep. of the Congo, Rwanda and South Africa, the 
band 160-200 kHz is allocated to the fixed service on a primary basis.
    5.69 Additional allocation: in Somalia, the band 200-255 kHz is 
also allocated to the aeronautical radionavigation service on a primary 
basis.
    5.70 Alternative allocation: in Angola, Botswana, Burundi, 
Cameroon, the Central African Rep., the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, 
Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Oman, Dem. 
Rep. of the Congo, Rwanda, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Chad, 
Zambia and Zimbabwe, the band 200-283.5 kHz is allocated to the 
aeronautical radionavigation service on a primary basis.
    5.71 Alternative allocation: in Tunisia, the band 255-283.5 kHz is 
allocated to the broadcasting service on a primary basis.
    5.72 Norwegian stations of the fixed service situated in northern 
areas (north of 60[deg] N) subject to auroral disturbances are allowed 
to continue operation on four frequencies in the bands 283.5-490 kHz 
and 510-526.5 kHz.
    5.73 The band 285-325 kHz (283.5-325 kHz in Region 1) in the 
maritime radionavigation service may be used to transmit supplementary 
navigational information using narrow-band techniques, on condition 
that no harmful interference is caused to radiobeacon stations 
operating in the radionavigation service.
    5.74 Additional Allocation: in Region 1, the frequency band 285.3-
285.7 kHz is also allocated to the maritime radionavigation service 
(other than radiobeacons) on a primary basis.
    5.75 Different category of service: in Armenia, Azerbaijan, 
Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, the Russian Federation, 
Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and the Black Sea areas of Bulgaria 
and Romania, the allocation of the band 315-325 kHz to the maritime 
radionavigation service is on a primary basis under the condition that 
in the Baltic Sea area, the assignment of frequencies in this band to 
new stations in the maritime or aeronautical radionavigation services 
shall be subject to prior consultation between the administrations 
concerned.
    5.76 The frequency 410 kHz is designated for radio direction-
finding in the maritime radionavigation service. The other 
radionavigation services to which the band 405-415 kHz is allocated 
shall not cause harmful

[[Page 59693]]

interference to radio direction-finding in the band 406.5-413.5 kHz.
    5.77 Different category of service: in Australia, China, the French 
Overseas Territories of Region 3, India, Indonesia (until 1 January 
2005), Iran (Islamic Republic of), Japan, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea 
and Sri Lanka, the allocation of the band 415-495 kHz to the 
aeronautical radionavigation service is on a primary basis. 
Administrations in these countries shall take all practical steps 
necessary to ensure that aeronautical radionavigation stations in the 
band 435-495 kHz do not cause interference to reception by coast 
stations of ship stations transmitting on frequencies designated for 
ship stations on a worldwide basis (see No. 52.39).
    5.78 Different category of service: in Cuba, the United States of 
America and Mexico, the allocation of the band 415-435 kHz to the 
aeronautical radionavigation service is on a primary basis.
    5.79 The use of the bands 415-495 kHz and 505-526.5 kHz (505-510 
kHz in Region 2) by the maritime mobile service is limited to 
radiotelegraphy.
    5.79A When establishing coast stations in the NAVTEX service on the 
frequencies 490 kHz, 518 kHz and 4 209.5 kHz, administrations are 
strongly recommended to coordinate the operating characteristics in

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:

--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 the 6 MHz band 
from 13.772 to 13.778 GHz;

considering regulatory provisions in relation to these bands. Because 
of the potential deployment of high-density applications in the fixed-
satellite service in the bands 39.5-40 GHz and 40.5-42 GHz, 
administrations should further take into account potential constraints 
to high-density applications in the fixed service, as appropriate (see 
Resolution 84 (WRC-2000)).
    5.547A Administrations should take practical measures to minimize 
the potential interference between stations in the fixed service and 
airborne stations in the radionavigation service in the 31.8-33.4 GHz 
band, taking into account the operational needs of the airborne radar 
systems.
