Sec. 22.353 Blanketing interference.
Licensees of Public Mobile Services stations are responsible for resolving
cases of blanketing interference in accordance with the provisions of this
section.
(a) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, licensees must
resolve any cases of blanketing interference in their area of responsibility
caused by operation of their transmitter(s) during a one-year period
following commencement of service from new or modified transmitter(s).
Interference must be resolved promptly at no cost to the complainant.
(b) The area of responsibility is that area in the immediate vicinity of the
transmitting antenna of stations where the field strength of the
electromagnetic radiation from such stations equals or exceeds 115 dB µV/m.
To determine the radial distance to the boundary of this area, the following
formula must be used:
[MATH: :MATH]
where d is the radial distance to the boundary, in kilometers
p is the radial effective radiated power, in kilowatts
The maximum effective radiated power in the pertinent direction, without
consideration of the antenna's vertical radiation pattern or height, must be
used in the formula.
(c) Licensees are not required to resolve blanketing interference to mobile
receivers or non-RF devices or blanketing interference occurring as a result
of malfunctioning or mistuned receivers, improperly installed consumer
antenna systems, or the use of high gain antennas or antenna booster
amplifiers by consumers.
(d) Licensees that install transmitting antennas at a location where there
are already one or more transmitting antennas are responsible for resolving
any new cases of blanketing interference in accordance with this section.
(e) Two or more licensees that concurrently install transmitting antennas at
the same location are jointly responsible for resolving blanketing
interference cases, unless the FCC can readily determine which station is
causing the interference, in which case the licensee of that station is held
fully responsible.
(f) After the one year period of responsibility to resolve blanketing
interference, licensees must provide upon request technical information to
complainants on remedies for blanketing interference.
