Sec. 74.638 Frequency coordination.
(a) Coordination of all frequency assignments for fixed stations in all
bands above 2110 MHz, and for mobile (temporary fixed) stations in the bands
6425–6525 MHz and 17.7–19.7 GHz, will be in accordance with the procedure
established in paragraph (b) of this section, except that the prior
coordination process for mobile (temporary fixed) assignments may be
completed orally and the period allowed for response to a coordination
notification may be less than 30 days if the parties agree. Coordination of
all frequency assignments for all mobile (temporary fixed) stations in all
bands above 2110 MHz, except the bands 6425–6525 MHz and 17.7–19.7 GHz, will
be conducted in accordance with the procedure established in paragraph (b)
of this section or with the procedure in paragraph (d) of this section.
Coordination of all frequency assignments for all fixed stations in the band
1990–2110 MHz will be in accordance with the procedure established in
paragraph (c) of this section. Coordination of all frequency assignments for
all mobile (temporary fixed) stations in the band 1990–2110 MHz will be
conducted in accordance with the procedure in paragraph (d) of this section.
(b) Frequency coordination for all fixed stations in all bands above 2110
MHz, and for all mobile (temporary fixed) stations in the bands 6425–6525
MHz and 17.7–19.7 GHz. For each frequency authorized under this part, the
interference protection criteria in Sec. 101.105(a), (b), and (c) of this
chapter and the frequency usage coordination procedures in Sec. 101.103(d) of
this chapter will apply, except that only stations in the bands 6425–6525
MHz and 17.7–19.7 GHz are subject to the provision in Sec. 101.103(d) requiring
compliance with Sec. 101.21(f) of this chapter in coordinating frequency usage
with stations in the fixed satellite service.
(c) Frequency coordination for all fixed stations in the band 1990–2110 MHz.
For each frequency authorized under this part, the following frequency usage
coordination procedures will apply:
(1) General requirements. Applicants are responsible for selecting the
frequency assignments that are least likely to result in mutual interference
with other licensees in the same area. Applicants may consult local
frequency coordination committees, where they exist, for information on
frequencies available in the area. Proposed frequency usage must be
coordinated with existing licensees and applicants in the area whose
facilities could affect or be affected by the new proposal in terms of
frequency interference on active channels, applied-for channels, or channels
coordinated for future growth. Coordination must be completed prior to
filing an application for regular authorization, for major amendment to a
pending application, or for major modification to a license.
(2) To be acceptable for filing, all applications for regular authorization,
or major amendment to a pending application, or major modification to a
license, must include a certification attesting that all co-channel and
adjacent-channel licensees and applicants potentially affected by the
proposed fixed use of the frequency(ies) have been notified and are in
agreement that the proposed facilities can be installed without causing
harmful interference to those other licensees and applicants.
(d) Frequency coordination for all mobile (temporary fixed) stations in all
bands above 1990 MHz, except the bands 6425–6525 MHz and 17.7–19.7 GHz. For
each frequency authorized under this part, applicants are responsible for
selecting the frequency assignments that are least likely to result in
mutual interference with other licensees in the same area. Applicants may
consult local frequency coordination committees, where they exist, for
information on frequencies available in the area. In selecting frequencies,
consideration should be given to the relative location of receive points,
normal transmission paths, and the nature of the contemplated operation.
