Sec.  74.32   Operation in the 17.7–17.8 GHz and 17.8–19.7 GHz bands.

   (a)  To  minimize  or avoid harmful interference to Federal Government
   Satellite Earth Stations located in the Denver, Colorado and Washington, DC
   areas, any application for a new station license to provide MVPD operations
   in the 17.7–17.8 GHz band or to operate in the 17.8–19.7 GHz band for any
   service, or for modification of an existing station license in these bands
   which would change the frequency, power, emission, modulation, polarization,
   antenna  height or directivity, or location of such a station, must be
   coordinated  with  the  Federal Government by the Commission before an
   authorization will be issued, if the station or proposed station is located
   in  whole  or in part within any of the areas defined by the following
   rectangles or circles:

   (c) In addition, no application seeking authority for MVPD operations in the
   17.7–17.8 GHz band or to operate in the 17.8–19.7 GHz band for any service
   will be accepted for filing if the proposed station is located within 20 km
   of the following coordinates:
