collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a

resolved the remaining technical issues affecting the operation of 600

they operate on the same or adjacent channels in geographic proximity.

operating a wireless base station within a secified distance of a 
broadcast television station that is co-channel or adjacent channel to 
their spectrum. A wireless licensee is required to provide this 
interference study to the Commission upon request or to the broadcast 
television station when there is an interference complaint.
