    Needs and Uses: The Commission adopted an Report and Order (R&O) on 
September 9, 2004, In the Matter of the Amendment of parts 73 and 74 of 
the Commission's Rules to Establish Rules for Digital Low Power 
Television, Television Translator, and Television Booster Stations and 
to Amend Rules for Digital Class A Television Stations, MB Docket No. 
03-185, FCC 04-220. The R&O revised 47 CFR Section 74.703(f) to require 
the licensee of a digital low power TV (LPTV) or TV translator station 
operating on a channel from 52-69 to eliminate at its expense any 
condition of interference caused to the operation of or services 
provided by existing and future commercial or public safety wireless 
licensees in the 700 MHz bands. The offending digital LPTV or 
translator station must cease operations immediately upon notification 
by any primary wireless licensee, once it has been established that the 
digital low power TV or translator station is causing the interference.
    The R&O also revised 47 CFR Section 74.703(g) to require that an 
existing or future wireless licensee in the 700 MHz bands may notify 
(certified mail, return receipt requested), a digital low power TV or 
TV translator operating on the same channel or first adjacent channel 
of its intention to initiate or change wireless operations and the 
likelihood of interference from the low power TV or translator station 
within its licensed geographic service area. The notice should describe 
the facilities, associated service area and operations of the wireless 
licensee with sufficient detail to permit an evaluation of the 
likelihood of interference.
    47 CFR 74.703(h) requires in each instance where suspension of 
operation is required, the licensee shall submit a

full report to the FCC in Washington, DC, after operation is resumed, 
containing details of the nature of the interference, the source of the 
interfering signals, and the remedial steps taken to eliminate the 
interference.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
