Sec.  73.622   Digital television table of allotments.

   Link to an amendment published at  72 FR 54735 , September 26, 2007.

   (a)  General.  The  following table of allotments contains the digital
   television (DTV) channel allotments designated for the listed communities in
   the United States, its Territories, and possessions. The initial DTV Table
   of Allotments was established on April 3, 1997, to provide a second channel
   for DTV service for all eligible analog television broadcasters. Requests
   for addition of new DTV allotments, or requests to change the channels
   allotted to a community must be made in a petition for rule making to amend
   the DTV Table of Allotments. A request to amend the DTV table to change the
   channel of an allotment in the DTV table will be evaluated for technical
   acceptability using engineering criteria set forth in  Sec. 73.623(c). A request
   to  amend  the  DTV table to add a new allotment will be evaluated for
   technical acceptability using the geographic spacing criteria set forth in
    Sec. 73.623(d). DTV allotments designated with an asterisk are assigned for use
   by non-commercial educational broadcast stations only. Stations operating on
   DTV allotments designated with a “c” are required to comply with paragraph
   (g) of this section. Rules governing noncommercial educational TV stations
   are contained in  Sec. 73.621. Where there is only one technically available
   channel  available in a community, an entity that would be eligible to
   operate  a  noncommercial  educational broadcast station may, prior to
   application, initiate a rulemaking proceeding requesting that an unoccupied
   or new channel in the community be changed or added as reserved only for
   noncommercial  educational  broadcasting  upon  demonstrating that the
   noncommercial  educational  proponent  would provide a first or second
   noncommercial educational TV service to 2,000 or more people who constitute
   10%  of  the population within the proposed allocation's noise limited
   contour.

   (1) Petitions requesting the addition of a new allotment must specify a
   channel in the range of channels 2–51.

   (2) Petitions requesting a change in the channel of an initial allotment
   must specify a channel in the range of channels 2–58.

   (c)(1) Availability of channels. Applications may be filed to construct DTV
   broadcast stations only on the channels designated in the DTV Table of
   Allotments set forth in paragraph (b) of this section, and only in the
   communities listed therein. Applications that fail to comply with this
   requirement, whether or not accompanied by a petition to amend the DTV
   Table, will not be accepted for filing. However, applications specifying
   channels that accord with publicly announced FCC Orders changing the DTV
   Table of Allotments will be accepted for filing even if such applications
   are  tendered  before  the  effective dates of such channel change. An
   application for authority to construct a DTV station on an allotment in the
   initial DTV table may only be filed by the licensee or permittee of the
   analog TV station with which that initial allotment is paired, as set forth
   in Appendix B of the Memorandum Opinion and Order on Reconsideration of the
   Sixth Report and Order in MM Docket 87–268, FCC 98–24 ( Memorandum Opinion
   and Order ) adopted January 29, 1998. Copies of the Memorandum Opinion and
   Order  may  be  inspected during normal business hours at the: Federal
   Communications Commission, Room CY-C203, 445 12th Street, SW., Reference
   Information Center, Washington, DC, 20554. This document is also available
   through  the  Internet  on  the  FCC  Home Page at http://www.fcc.gov.
   Applications  may  also  be  filed to implement an exchange of channel
   allotments between two or more licensees or permittees of analog TV stations
   in the same community, the same market, or in adjacent markets provided,
   however, that the other requirements of this section and  Sec. 73.623 are met
   with respect to each such application.

   (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (c)(1) of this section, an application may be
   filed for a channel or community not listed in the DTV Table of Allotments
   if it is consistent with the rules and policies established in the Third
   Report and Order in WT Docket 99–168 (FCC 01–25), adopted January 18, 2001.
   Where such a request is approved, the Media Bureau will change the DTV Table
   of Allotments to reflect that approval.

   (d)  Reference  points  and  distance  computations. (1) The reference
   coordinates  of  a  DTV allotment included in the initial DTV Table of
   Allotments are the coordinates of the authorized transmitting antenna site
   of the associated analog TV station, as set forth in Appendix B of the
   Memorandum  Opinion  and  Order (referenced above). An application for
   authority to construct or modify DTV facilities on such an allotment may
   specify an alternate location for the DTV transmitting antenna that is
   within 5 kilometers of the DTV allotment reference coordinates without
   consideration of electromagnetic interference to other DTV or analog TV
   broadcast stations, allotments or applications, provided the application
   complies with paragraph (f)(2) of this section. Location of the transmitting
   antenna of such a station at a site more than 5 kilometers from the DTV
   allotment reference coordinates must comply with the provisions of section
   73.623(c). In the case where a DTV station has been granted authority to
   construct more than 5 kilometers from its reference coordinates pursuant to
   section 73.623(c), and its authorized coverage area extends in any azimuthal
   direction beyond the DTV coverage area determined for the DTV allotment
   reference facilities, then the coordinates of such authorized site are to be
   used  in addition to the coordinates of the DTV allotment to determine
   protection  from  new  DTV  allotments pursuant to  Sec. 73.623(d) and from
   subsequent DTV applications filed pursuant to  Sec. 73.623(c).

   (2) The reference coordinates of a DTV allotment not included in the initial
   DTV Table of Allotments shall be the authorized transmitter site, or, where
   such a transmitter site is not available for use as a reference point, the
   coordinates  as designated in the FCC order modifying the DTV Table of
   Allotments.

   (e)  DTV  Service  Areas. (1) The service area of a DTV station is the
   geographic area within the station's noise-limited F(50,90) contour where
   its signal strength is predicted to exceed the noise-limited service level.
   The noise-limited contour is the area in which the predicted F(50,90) field
   strength of the station's signal, in dB above 1 microvolt per meter (dBu) as
   determined using the method in section 73.625(b) exceeds the following
   levels (these are the levels at which reception of DTV service is limited by
   noise):
                  dBu
   Channels 2–6    28
   Channels 7–13   36
   Channels 14–69  41

   (2) Within this contour, service is considered available at locations where
   the station's signal strength, as predicted using the terrain dependent
   Longley-Rice point-to-point propagation model, exceeds the levels above.
   Guidance for evaluating coverage areas using the Longley-Rice methodology is
   provided  in OET Bulletin No. 69. Copies of OET Bulletin No. 69 may be
   inspected  during  normal business hours at the Federal Communications
   Commission,  445  12th  Street,  S.W, Dockets Branch (Room CY A09257),
   Washington, DC 20554. This document is also available through the Internet
   on the FCC Home Page at http://www.fcc.gov. 

   Note to paragraph(e)(2): During the transition, in cases where the assigned
   power of a UHF DTV station in the initial DTV Table is 1000 kW, the Grade B
   contour of the associated analog television station, as authorized on April
   3, 1997, shall be used instead of the noise-limited contour of the DTV
   station in determining the DTV station's service area. In such cases, the
   DTV service area is the geographic area within the station's analog Grade B
   contour  where  its  DTV  signal  strength  is predicted to exceed the
   noise-limited  service  level,  i.e.,  41  dB, as determined using the
   Longley-Rice methodology.

   (3) For purposes of determining whether interference is caused to a DTV
   station's service area, the maximum technical facilities, i.e., antenna
   height above average terrain (antenna HAAT) and effective radiated power
   (ERP), specified for the station's allotment are to be used in determining
   its service area.

   (f) DTV maximum power and antenna heights. (1) The maximum, or reference,
   effective radiated power (ERP) and antenna height above average terrain
   (antenna  HAAT)  for an allotment included in the initial DTV Table of
   Allotments are set forth in Appendix B of the Memorandum Opinion and Order
   (referenced in paragraph (c) of this section). In each azimuthal direction,
   the reference ERP value is based on the antenna HAAT of the corresponding
   analog TV station and achieving predicted coverage equal to that analog TV
   station's predicted Grade B contour, as defined in section 73.683.

   (2) An application for authority to construct or modify DTV facilities will
   not be subject to further consideration of electromagnetic interference to
   other DTV or analog TV broadcast stations, allotments or applications,
   provided that:

   (i) The proposed ERP in each azimuthal direction is equal to or less than
   the reference ERP in that direction; and

   (ii)  The proposed antenna HAAT is equal to or less than the reference
   antenna HAAT or the proposed antenna HAAT exceeds the reference antenna HAAT
   by 10 meters or less and the reference ERP in paragraph (f)(2)(i) of this
   section is adjusted in accordance with paragraph (f)(3) of this section; and

   (iii) The application complies with the location provisions in paragraph
   (d)(1) of this section.

   (3)(i) A DTV station may increase its antenna HAAT by up to 10 meters from
   that specified in Appendix B if it reduces its DTV power to a level at or
   below the level of adjusted DTV power computed in the following formula:

   ERP adjustment in dB = 20log(H[1]/H[2])

   Where H[1]= Reference antenna HAAT specified in the DTV Table, and H[2]=
   Actual antenna HAAT

   (ii) Alternatively, a DTV application that specifies an antenna HAAT within
   25 meters below that specified in Appendix B may adjust its power upward to
   a level at or below the adjusted DTV power in accordance with the formula in
   paragraph (f)(3)(i) of this section without an interference showing. For a
   proposed antenna more than 25 meters below the reference antenna HAAT, the
   DTV station may increase its ERP up to the level permitted for operation
   with an antenna that is 25 meters below the station's reference antenna
   HAAT.

   (4) UHF DTV stations may request an increase in power, up to a maximum of
   1000 kW ERP, to enhance service within their authorized service area through
   use of antenna beam tilting in excess of 1 degree, as follows:

   (i) Field strengths at the outer edge of the station's service area shall be
   no greater than the levels that would exist if the station were operating at
   its assigned DTV power.

   (ii) Where a station operates at higher power under the provisions of this
   paragraph, its field strengths at the edge of its service area are to be
   calculated assuming 1 dB of additional antenna gain over the antenna gain
   pattern specified by the manufacturer.

   (iii) Where a first adjacent channel DTV station or allotment is located
   closer than 110 km or a first adjacent channel analog TV station is located
   closer than 106 km from the proposed transmitter site, the application must
   be accompanied by a technical showing that the proposed operation complies
   with the technical criteria in  Sec. 73.623(c) and thereby will not result in new
   interference exceeding the de minimis standard for new interference set
   forth in that section, or statements from affected stations agreeing to the
   proposed operation in accordance with  Sec. 73.623(f).

   (iv) A licensee desiring to operate at higher power under these provisions
   shall submit, with its initial application for a DTV construction permit or
   subsequent application to modify its DTV facilities, an engineering analysis
   demonstrating that the predicted field strengths and predicted interference
   within  its  service  area would comport with the requirements of this
   paragraph. The licensee also must notify, by certified mail, all stations
   that could potentially be affected by such operation at the time the station
   files  its  application  for  a construction permit or modification of
   facilities. Potentially affected stations to be notified include stations on
   co-channel  and  first-adjacent channel allotments that are located at
   distances  less  than  the  minimum geographic spacing requirements in
    Sec. 73.623(d)(2). For example, in Zone I a co-channel DTV station within 196.3
   km or a first-adjacent channel DTV station within 110 km must be notified. A
   station that believes that its service is being affected beyond the de
   minimis standard set forth in  Sec. 73.623(c) may file an informal objection with
   the Commission. Such an informal objection shall include an engineering
   analysis demonstrating that additional impermissible interference would
   occur.  The  Commission may condition grant of authority to operate at
   increased  power  pursuant  to  this provision on validation of actual
   performance through field measurements.

   (5) Licensees and permittees assigned a DTV channel in the initial DTV Table
   of  Allotments may request an increase in either ERP in some azimuthal
   direction  or antenna HAAT, or both, that exceed the initial technical
   facilities specified for the allotment in Appendix B of the Memorandum
   Opinion and Order (referenced in paragraph (c) of this section), up to the
   maximum permissible limits on DTV power and antenna height set forth in
   paragraph (f)(6), (f)(7), or (f)(8) of this section, as appropriate, or up
   to that needed to provide the same geographic coverage area as the largest
   station within their market, whichever would allow the largest service area.
   Such requests must be accompanied by a technical showing that the increase
   complies with the technical criteria in  Sec. 73.623(c), and thereby will not
   result in new interference exceeding the de minimis standard set forth in
   that section, or statements agreeing to the change from any co-channel or
   adjacent  channel  stations  that  might  be affected by potential new
   interference, in accordance with  Sec. 73.623(f). In the case where a DTV station
   has been granted authority to construct pursuant to  Sec. 73.623(c), and its
   authorized coverage area extends in any azimuthal direction beyond the DTV
   coverage area determined for the DTV allotment reference facilities, then
   the authorized DTV facilities are to be used in addition to the assumed
   facilities of the initial DTV allotment to determine protection from new DTV
   allotments pursuant to  Sec. 73.623(d) and from subsequent DTV applications filed
   pursuant to  Sec. 73.623(c). The provisions of this paragraph regarding increases
   in the ERP or antenna height of DTV stations on channels in the initial DTV
   Table  of  Allotments  shall also apply in cases where the licensee or
   permittee seeks to change the station's channel as well as alter its ERP and
   antenna HAAT. Licensees and permittees are advised that where a channel
   change is requested, it may, in fact, be necessary in specific cases for the
   station to operate with reduced power, a lower antenna, or a directional
   antenna to avoid causing new interference to another station.

   (6)  A  DTV  station  that operates on a channel 2–6 allotment created
   subsequent to the initial DTV Table will be allowed a maximum ERP of 10 kW
   if its antenna HAAT is at or below 305 meters and it is located in Zone I or
   a maximum ERP of 45 kW if its antenna HAAT is at or below 305 meters and it
   is located in Zone II or Zone III. A DTV station that operates on a channel
   2–6 allotment included in the initial DTV Table of Allotments may request an
   increase in power and/or antenna HAAT up to these maximum levels, provided
   the increase also complies with the provisions of paragraph (f)(5) of this
   section.

   (i) At higher HAAT levels, such DTV stations will be allowed to operate with
   lower maximum ERP levels in accordance with the following table and formulas
   (the allowable maximum ERP for intermediate values of HAAT is determined
   using linear interpolation based on the units employed in the table):

   Maximum Allowable ERP and Antenna Height for DTV Stations In Zones II or III
   on Channels 2–6
   Antenna HAAT (meters) ERP (kW)
   610                         10
   580                         11

   520                         14
   490                         16
   460                         19
   425                         22
   395                         26
   365                         31
   335                         37
   305                         45

   (ii) For DTV stations located in Zone I that operate on channels 2–6 with an
   HAAT  that  exceeds 305 meters, the allowable maximum ERP expressed in
   decibels above 1 kW (dBk) is determined using the following formula, with
   HAAT expressed in meters:

   ERP[max]=92.57–33.24*log[10](HAAT)

   (iii) For DTV stations located in Zone II or III that operate on channels
   2–6  with  an  HAAT that exceeds 610 meters, the allowable maximum ERP
   expressed in decibels above 1 kW (dBk) is determined using the following
   formula, with HAAT expressed in meters:

   ERP[max]=57.57–17.08*log[10](HAAT)

   (7)  A  DTV  station that operates on a channel 7–13 allotment created
   subsequent to the initial DTV Table will be allowed a maximum ERP of 30 kW
   if its antenna HAAT is at or below 305 meters and it is located in Zone I or
   a maximum ERP of 160 kW if its antenna HAAT is at or below 305 meters and it
   is located in Zone II or Zone III. A DTV station that operates on a channel
   7–13 allotment included in the initial DTV Table of Allotments may request
   an  increase  in power and/or antenna HAAT up to these maximum levels,
   provided the increase also complies with the provisions of paragraph (f)(5)
   of this section.

   (i) At higher HAAT levels, such DTV stations will be allowed to operate with
   lower maximum ERP levels in accordance with the following table and formulas
   (the allowable maximum ERP for intermediate values of HAAT is determined
   using linear interpolation based on the units employed in the table):

   Maximum Allowable ERP and Antenna Height for DTV Stations In Zones II or III
   on Channels 7–13
   Antenna HAAT (meters) ERP (kW)
   610                         30
   580                         34
   550                         40
   520                         47
   490                         54
   460                         64
   425                         76
   395                         92
   365                        110
   335                        132
   305                        160

   (ii) For DTV stations located in Zone I that operate on channels 7–13 with
   an HAAT that exceeds 305 meters, the allowable maximum ERP expressed in
   decibels above 1 kW (dBk) is determined using the following formula, with
   HAAT expressed in meters:

   ERP[max]=97.35–33.24*log[10](HAAT)

   (iii) For DTV stations located in Zone II or III that operate on channels
   7–13  with  an HAAT that exceeds 610 meters, the allowable maximum ERP
   expressed in decibels above 1 kW (dBk) is determined using the following
   formula, with HAAT expressed in meters:

   ERP[max]=62.34–17.08*log[10](HAAT)

   (8)  A  DTV station that operates on a channel 14–59 allotment created
   subsequent to the initial DTV Table will be allowed a maximum ERP of 1000 kW
   if their antenna HAAT is at or below 365 meters. A DTV station that operates
   on a channel 14–59 allotment included in the initial DTV Table of Allotments
   may request an increase in power and/or antenna HAAT up to these maximum
   levels, provided the increase also complies with the provisions of paragraph
   (f)(5) of this section.

   (i) At higher HAAT levels, such DTV stations will be allowed to operates
   with lower maximum ERP levels in accordance with the following table and
   formulas (the allowable maximum ERP for intermediate values of HAAT is
   determined using linear interpolation based on the units employed in the
   table):

   Maximum Allowable ERP and Antenna Height for DTV Stations on Channels 14–59,
   All Zones
   Antenna HAAT (meters) ERP (kW)
   610                        316
   580                        350
   550                        400
   520                        460

   460                        630
   425                        750
   395                        900
   365                       1000

   (ii) For DTV stations located in Zone I, II or III that operate on channels
   14–59  with an HAAT that exceeds 610 meters, the allowable maximum ERP
   expressed in decibels above 1 kW (dBk) is determined using the following
   formula, with HAAT expressed in meters:

   ERP[max]=72.57–17.08*log[10](HAAT)

   (g) DTV stations operating on channels above an analog TV station. (1) DTV
   stations operating on a channel allotment designated with a “c” in paragraph
   (b) of this section must maintain the pilot carrier frequency of the DTV
   signal 5.082138 MHz above the visual carrier frequency of any analog TV
   broadcast station that operates on the lower adjacent channel and is located
   within 88 kilometers. This frequency difference must be maintained within a
   tolerance of  �3 Hz.

   (2) Unless it conflicts with operation complying with paragraph (g)(1) of
   this section, where a low power television station or TV translator station
   is operating on the lower adjacent channel within 32 km of the DTV station
   and notifies the DTV station that it intends to minimize interference by
   precisely  maintaining  its carrier frequencies, the DTV station shall
   cooperate in locking its carrier frequency to a common reference frequency
   and shall be responsible for any costs relating to its own transmission
   system in complying with this provision.

   (h)(1) The power level of emissions on frequencies outside the authorized
   channel of operation must be attenuated no less than the following amounts
   below the average transmitted power within the authorized channel. In the
   first 500 kHz from the channel edge the emissions must be attenuated no less
   than  47  dB. More than 6 MHz from the channel edge, emissions must be
   attenuated no less than 110 dB. At any frequency between 0.5 and 6 MHz from
   the  channel edge, emissions must be attenuated no less than the value
   determined by the following formula:

   Attenuation in dB = −11.5(Δf + 3.6);

   Where: Δf = frequency difference in MHz from the edge of the channel.

   (2) This attenuation is based on a measurement bandwidth of 500 kHz. Other
   measurement bandwidths may be used as long as appropriate correction factors
   are applied. Measurements need not be made any closer to the band edge than
   one half of the resolution bandwidth of the measuring instrument. Emissions
   include  sidebands,  spurious emissions and radio frequency harmonics.
   Attenuation is to be measured at the output terminals of the transmitter
   (including any filters that may be employed). In the event of interference
   caused to any service, greater attenuation may be required.
