Sec.  5.89   School and student authorizations.

   The Commission may issue an authorization to schools or students for the
   purpose of presenting experiments or technical demonstrations for school or
   school approved projects that require the use of radio for a limited period
   of  time.  Such authorizations may be granted at the discretion of the
   Commission.

   (a) An application for a school or student authorization may be filed in
   letter form and must comply with the provisions of  Sec. 5.63, of this part
   except where specified below. The application must be accompanied by a
   signed statement from a member of faculty of the school, on appropriate
   letterhead,  indicating the person under whose general supervision the
   project will be conducted. In the case of student authorizations, the letter
   must state that the project has the approval of the school.

   (b) Frequencies in the following bands are available for assignment in
   authorizations issued under this section:

   27.23–27.28 MHz.

   460–461 MHz.

   462.525–467.475 MHz.

   2402–2483.5 MHz.

   10.00–10.50 GHz.

   (c)  Operations  under  this section are limited to 4 watts equivalent
   isotropically radiated power (EIRP). The Commission may authorize a greater
   power if a satisfactory showing is made that such greater power is necessary
   and that appropriate measures will be taken to prevent interference.

   (d) The frequency of operation must be measured or checked prior to each
   time of operation.

   (e) Subject to the provisions of (b), (c) and (d), the provisions in subpart
   C of this part are waived insofar as such provisions require a station
   authorized  under  this section to observe the technical and operating
   restrictions set forth therein.

   (f) The licensee holding an authorization issued under this section shall
   maintain a record of operation containing the following information:

   (1) A brief description of the experimentation being conducted.

   (2) The date and time of each period of operation.

   (3) The frequency of operation as measured or checked at the beginning of
   each period of operation.

   (g)  The record of operation shall be retained for one month after the
   termination of the authorization.
