    Section 87.147 is needed to require applicants for aviation 
equipment certification to submit a Federal Aviation Administration 
(FAA) determination of the equipment's compatibility with the National 
Airspace System (NAS). This will ensure that radio equipment operating 
in certain frequencies is compatible with the NAS, which shares system 
components with the military. The notification must describe the 
equipment, give the manufacturer's identification, antenna 
characteristics, rated output power, emission type and characteristics, 
the frequency or frequencies of operation, and essential receiver 
characteristics if protection is required. The information is used by 
FCC engineers to determine the interference potential of the proposed 
operation.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
