decisions that were made at the World Radiocommunication Conference 
(Geneva 2003) (WRC-03). This document contains corrections to 47 CFR 
2.101 and 2.106.

DATES: Effective September 9, 2005.

5. On page 46674, in the first column, footnote US396 paragraph (a) of 
the Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 CFR 2.106, is corrected to read 
as follows:
    (a) Until March 25, 2007, the band 7300-7350 kHz is allocated to 
the fixed service on a primary basis and to the mobile except 
aeronautical mobile service on a secondary basis for Federal and non-
Federal use. After March 25, 2007, authority to operate in the band 
7300-7350 kHz shall not be extended to new non-Federal stations in the 
fixed and mobile except aeronautical mobile services. After March 25, 
2007, Federal and non-Federal stations in the fixed and mobile except 
aeronautical mobile services shall:
    (1) Be limited to communications wholly within the United States 
and its insular areas;
    (2) Not cause harmful interference to the broadcasting service;
    (3) Be limited to the minimum power needed to achieve 
communications; and
    (4) Take account of the seasonal use of frequencies by the 
broadcasting service published in accordance with Article 12 of the ITU 
Radio Regulations.

portion of the television vertical blanking interval for the 
transmission of telecommunications signals, on the condition that 
harmful interference will not be caused to the reception of primary 
services, and that such telecommunications services must accept any 
interference caused by primary services operating in these bands.
