Sec. 74.402 Frequency assignment.
Operation on all channels listed in this section (except: frequencies 26.07
MHz, 26.11 MHz, and 26.45 MHz, and frequencies listed in paragraphs (a)(4)
and (c)(1) of this section shall be in accordance with the “priority of
use” provisions in Sec. 74.403(b)). The channel will be assigned by its center
frequency, channel bandwidth, and emission designator. In general, the
frequencies listed in this section represent the center of the channel or
channel segment. When an even number of channels are stacked in those
sections stacking is permitted, channel assignments may be made for the
frequency halfway between those listed.
(a) The following channels may be assigned for use by broadcast remote
pickup stations using any emission (other than single sideband or pulse)
that will be in accordance with the provisions of Sec. 74.462.
(1) [Reserved]

(d) Up to two of the following 50 kHz segments may be stacked to form a
channel which may be assigned for use by broadcast remote pickup stations
using any emission contained within the resultant channel in accordance with
the provisions of Sec. 74.462. Users committed to 100 kHz bandwidths and

(e) Conditions on Broadcast Remote Pickup Service channel usage as referred
to in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section:
(1) [Reserved]
(2) Operation is subject to the condition that no harmful interference is
caused to stations in the broadcast service.
(3) Operation is subject to the condition that no harmful interference is
caused to stations operating in accordance with the Table of Frequency
Allocations set forth in part 2 of this chapter. Applications for licenses
to use frequencies in this band must include statements showing what
procedures will be taken to ensure that interference will not be caused to
stations in the Industrial/Business Pool (Part 90).
(4) These frequencies will not be licensed to network entities.
(5) These frequencies will not be authorized to new stations for use on
board aircraft.
(6) These frequencies are allocated for assignment to broadcast remote
pickup stations in Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands only.
Note to paragraph (e)(6): These frequencies are shared with Public Safety
and Industrial/Business Pools (Part 90).
(7) These frequencies may not be used by broadcast remote pickup stations in
Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands. In other areas, certain existing stations
in the Public Safety and Industrial/Business Pools (Part 90) have been
permitted to continue operation on these frequencies on the condition that
no harmful interference is caused to broadcast remote pickup stations.
(8) Operation on frequencies 166.25 MHz and 170.15 MHz is subject to the
condition that harmful interference shall not be caused to present or future
Government stations in the band 162–174 MHz and is also subject to the
bandwidth and tolerance limitations and compliance deadlines listed in
Sec. 74.462 of this part. Authorization on these frequencies shall be in the
lower 48 contiguous States only, except within the area bounded on the west
by the Mississippi River, on the north by the parallel of latitude 37 °30'
N., and on the east and south by that arc of the circle with center at
Springfield, Illinois, and radius equal to the airline distance between
Springfield, Illinois, and Montgomery, Alabama, subtended between the
foregoing west and north boundaries, or within 150 miles (241.4 km) of New
York City.
(9) The use of these frequencies is limited to operational communications,
including tones for signaling and for remote control and automatic
transmission system control and telemetry. Stations licensed or applied for
before April 16, 2003, must comply with the channel plan by March 17, 2006,
or may continue to operate on a secondary, non-interference basis.
(10) Stations licensed or applied for before April 16, 2003, must comply
with the channel plan by March 17, 2006, or may continue to operate on a
secondary, non-interference basis.
(f) License applicants shall request assignment of only those channels, both
in number and bandwidth, necessary for satisfactory operation and for which
the system is equipped to operate. However, it is not necessary that each
transmitter within a system be equipped to operate on all frequencies
authorized to that licensee.
(g) Remote pickup stations or systems will not be granted exclusive channel
assignments. The same channel or channels may be assigned to other licensees
in the same area. When such sharing is necessary, the provisions of Sec. 74.403
shall apply.
