applications in the fixed service (see Resolutions 75 (WRC-2000) and 79
(WRC-2000)). Administrations should take this into account when
considering regulatory provisions in relation to these bands. Because
of the potential deployment of high-density applications in the
fixed-satellite service in the bands 39.5-40 GHz and 40.5-42 GHz (see
No. 5.516B), administrations should further take into account potential
constraints to high-density applications in the fixed service, as
appropriate.
5.547A Administrations should take practical measures to minimize the

(These footnotes, each consisting of the letter "G" followed by one or
more digits, denote stipulations applicable only to Federal operations
and thus appear solely in the Federal Table.)
G2 In the bands 216-217 MHz, 220-225 MHz, 420-450 MHz (except as
provided by US217 and G129), 890-902 MHz, 928-942 MHz, 1300-1390 MHz,
2310-2390 MHz, 2417-2450 MHz, 2700-2900 MHz, 3300-3500 MHz (except as
provided by footnote US108), 5650-5925 MHz, and 9000-9200 MHz, the
Federal radiolocation service is limited to the military services.
G5 In the bands 162.0125-173.2, 173.4-174, 406.1-410 and 410-420 MHz,
use by the military services is limited by the provisions specified in
the channeling plans shown in Sections 4.3.7 and 4.3.9 of the NTIA
Manual.
G6 Military tactical fixed and mobile operations may be conducted
nationally on a secondary basis: (a) To the meteorological aids service
in the band 403-406 MHz; and (b) To the radio astronomy service in the
band 406.1-410 MHz. Such fixed and mobile operations are subject to
local coordination to ensure that harmful interference will not be
caused to the services to which the bands are allocated.
G8 Low power Federal radio control operations are permitted in the
band 420-450 MHz.
G11 Federal fixed and mobile radio services, including low power radio
control operations, are permitted in the band 902-928 MHz on a
secondary basis.
G15 Use of the band 2700-2900 MHz by the military fixed and shipborne
air defense radiolocation installations will be fully coordinated with
the meteorological aids and aeronautical radionavigation services. The
military air defense installations will be moved from the band
2700-2900 MHz at the earliest practicable date. Until such time as
military air defense installations can be accommodated satisfactorily
elsewhere in the spectrum, such operations will, insofar as
practicable, be adjusted to meet the requirements of the aeronautical
radionavigation service.
G19 Use of the band 9000-9200 MHz by military fixed and shipborne air
defense radiolocation installations will be fully coordinated with the
aeronautical radionavigation service, recognizing fully the safety
aspects of the latter. Military air defense installations will be
accommodated ultimately outside this band. Until such time as military
defense installations can be accommodated satisfactorily elsewhere in
the spectrum such operations will, insofar as practicable, be adjusted
to meet the requirements of the aeronautical radionavigation services.
G27 In the bands 255-328.6 MHz, 335.4-399.9 MHz, and 1350-1390 MHz, the

MHz, 8500-9000 MHz, 9200-9300 MHz, 13.4-14.0 GHz, 15.7-17.7 GHz and
24.05-24.25 GHz, all Federal non-military radiolocation shall be
secondary to military radiolocation, except in the sub-band 15.7-16.2
GHz airport surface detection equipment (ASDE) is permitted on a
co-equal basis subject to coordination with the military departments.
G100 The bands 235-322 MHz and 335.4-399.9 MHz are also allocated on a
primary basis to the mobile-satellite service, limited to military
operations.
G104 In the bands 7450-7550 and 8175-8215 MHz, it is agreed that
although the military space radio communication systems, which include
earth stations near the proposed meteorological-satellite installations
will precede the meteorological-satellite installations, engineering
adjustments to either the military or the meteorological-satellite
systems or both will be made as mutually required to assure compatible
operations of the systems concerned.
G109 All assignments in the band 157.0375-157.1875 MHz are subject to
adjustment to other frequencies in this band as long term U.S. maritime
VHF planning develops, particularly that planning incident to support
of the National VHF-FM Radiotelephone Safety and Distress System (See
Doc. 15624/1-1.9.111/1.9.125).
G110 Federal ground-based stations in the aeronautical radionavigation
service may be authorized between 3500-3650 MHz when accommodation in
the band 2700-2900 MHz is not technically and/or economically feasible.
G114 The band 1369.05-1390 MHz is also allocated to the fixed-satellite
service (space-to-Earth) and to the mobile-satellite service
(space-to-Earth) on a primary basis for the relay of nuclear burst
data.
G115 In the band 13360-13410 kHz, the fixed service is allocated on a
primary basis outside the conterminous United States. Within the
conterminous United States, assignments in the fixed service are
permitted, and will be protected for national defense purposes or, if
they are to be used only in an emergency jeopardizing life, public
safety, or important property under conditions calling for immediate
communication where other means of communication do not exist.
G116 The band 7125-7155 MHz is also allocated for earth-to-space
transmissions in the Space Operations Service at a limited number of
sites (not to exceed two), subject to established coordination
procedures.
G117 In the bands 7.25-7.75 GHz, 7.9-8.4 GHz, 17.3-17.7 GHz, 17.8-21.2
GHz, 30-31 GHz, 33-36 GHz, 39.5-41 GHz, 43.5-45.5 GHz and 50.4-51.4
GHz, the Federal fixed-satellite and mobile-satellite services are
limited to military systems.
G118 Federal fixed stations may be authorized in the band 1700-1710
MHz only if spectrum is not available in the band 1755-1850 MHz.

non-interference basis to authorized non-Federal operations, and shall
not constrain the implementation of any non-Federal operations.
G124 The band 2417-2450 MHz was identified for reallocation, effective
August 10, 1995, for mixed Federal and non-Federal use under Title VI
of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993.
G127 Federal Travelers Information Stations (TIS) on 1610 kHz have
coprimary status with AM Broadcast assignments. Federal TIS authorized
as of August 4, 1994, preclude subsequent assignment for conflicting
allotments.
G128 Use of the band 56.9-57 GHz by inter-satellite systems is limited
to transmissions between satellites in geostationary orbit, to
transmissions between satellites in geostationary satellite orbit and
those in high-Earth orbit, to transmissions from satellites in
geostationary satellite orbit to those in low-Earth orbit, and to
transmissions from non-geostationary satellites in high-Earth orbit to
those in low-Earth orbit. For links between satellites in the
geostationary satellite orbit, the single entry power flux-density at
all altitudes from 0 km to 1000 km above the Earth's surface, for all
conditions and for all methods of modulation, shall not exceed -147 dB
(W/m^2 /100 MHz) for all angles of arrival.
G129 Federal wind profilers are authorized to operate on a primary
basis in the radiolocation service in the frequency band 448-450 MHz
with an authorized bandwidth of no more than 2 MHz centered on 449 MHz,
subject to the following conditions: (1) wind profiler locations must
be pre-coordinated with the military services to protect fixed military
radars; and (2) wind profiler operations shall not cause harmful
interference to, nor claim protection from, military mobile
radiolocation stations that are engaged in critical national defense
operations.
G130 Federal stations in the radiolocation service operating in the
band 5350-5470 MHz, shall not cause harmful interference to, nor claim
protection from, Federal stations in the aeronautical radionavigation
service operating in accordance with ITU Radio Regulation No. 5.449.
G131 Federal stations in the radiolocation service operating in the
band 5470-5650 MHz, with the exception of ground-based radars used for
meteorological purposes operating in the band 5600-5650 MHz, shall not
cause harmful interference to, nor claim protection from, Federal
stations in the maritime radionavigation service.
G132 Use of the radionavigation-satellite service in the band
1215-1240 MHz shall be subject to the condition that no harmful
interference is caused to, and no protection is claimed from, the
radionavigation service authorized under ITU Radio Regulation No.
5.331. Furthermore, the use of the radionavigation-satellite service in
the band 1215-1240 MHz shall be subject to the condition that no
harmful interference is caused to the radiolocation service. ITU Radio
Regulation No. 5.43 shall not apply in respect of the radiolocation
service. ITU Resolution 608 (WRC-03) shall apply.
G133 In the band 7190-7235 MHz, emissions to deep space are
