operations.
US80 Federal stations may use the frequency 122.9 MHz subject to the
following conditions: (a) All operations by Federal stations shall be
restricted to the purpose for which the frequency is authorized to
non-Federal stations, and shall be in accordance with the appropriate
provisions of the Commission's Rules and Regulations, Part 87, Aviation
Services; (b) Use of the frequency is required for coordination of
activities with Commission licensees operating on this frequency; and (c)
Federal stations will not be authorized for operation at fixed locations.
US81 The band 38-38.25 MHz is used by both Federal and non-Federal radio
astronomy observatories. No new fixed or mobile assignments are to be made
and Federal stations in the band 38-38.25 MHz will be moved to other bands
on a case-by-case basis, as required, to protect radio astronomy
observations from harmful interference. As an exception, however, low
powered military transportable and mobile stations used for tactical and
training purposes will continue to use the band. To the extent practicable,
the latter operations will be adjusted to relieve such interference as may
be caused to radio astronomy observations. In the event of harmful
interference from such local operations, radio astronomy observatories may
contact local military commands directly, with a view to effecting relief. A
list of military commands, areas of coordination, and points of contact for
purposes of relieving interference may be obtained upon request from the
Office of Engineering and Technology, FCC, Washington, DC 20554.

operating in the band 88-108 MHz. In the event that such interference does
occur, the licensee or other agency authorized to operate the facility shall
discontinue operation on 108 MHz and shall not resume operation until the
interference has been eliminated or the complaint otherwise satisfied. VOR
test facilities operating on 108 MHz will not be protected against
interference caused by FM broadcasting stations operating in the band 88-108
MHz nor shall the authorization of a VOR test facility on 108 MHz preclude
the Commission from authorizing additional FM broadcasting stations.
US97 The following provisions shall apply in the band 2305-2320 MHz:
(a) In the sub-band 2305-2310 MHz, space-to-Earth operations are prohibited.
(b) Within 145 km of Goldstone, CA (35°25′33″ N, 116°53′23″ W), Wireless
Communications Service (WCS) licensees operating base stations in the band
2305-2320 MHz shall, prior to operation of those base stations, achieve a
mutually satisfactory coordination agreement with the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration (NASA).
Note: NASA operates a deep space facility in Goldstone in the band 2290-2300
MHz.
US99 In the band 1668.4-1670 MHz, the meteorological aids service
(radiosonde) will avoid operations to the maximum extent practicable.
Whenever it is necessary to operate radiosondes in the band 1668.4-1670 MHz
within the United States, notification of the operations shall be sent as
far in advance as possible to the Electromagnetic Management Unit, Room
1030, National Science Foundation, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22230.
US100 The following provisions shall apply to the bands 2310-2320 MHz and
2345-2360 MHz:

aeronautical telemetering and associated telecommand operations for flight
testing of manned or unmanned aircraft, missiles, or major components
thereof, on a secondary basis to the Wireless Communications Service (WCS).
The frequencies 2312.5 MHz and 2352.5 MHz are shared on a co-equal basis by
Federal stations for telemetering and associated telecommand operations of
expendable and reusable launch vehicles, irrespective of whether such
operations involve flight testing. Other Federal mobile telemetering uses
may be provided in the bands 2310-2320 and 2345-2360 MHz on a
non-interference basis to all other uses authorized pursuant to this
footnote.
(b) The band 2345-2360 MHz is available for non-Federal aeronautical
telemetering and associated telecommand operations for flight testing of
manned or unmanned aircraft, missiles, or major components thereof, on a
secondary basis to the WCS until January 1, 2020. The use of this allocation
is restricted to non-Federal licensees in the Aeronautical and Fixed Radio
Service holding a valid authorization on April 23, 2015.
US101 The band 2360-2400 MHz is also allocated on a secondary basis to the

limited to MedRadio operations. MedRadio stations are authorized by rule and
operate in accordance with 47 CFR part 95.
US102 In Alaska only, the frequency 122.1 MHz may also be used for air
carrier air traffic control purposes at locations where other frequencies
are not available to air carrier aircraft stations for air traffic control.
US104 In the band 90-110 kHz, the LORAN radionavigation system has
priority in the United States and its insular areas. Radiolocation land
stations making use of LORAN type equipment may be authorized to both
Federal and non-Federal licensees on a secondary basis for offshore
radiolocation activities only at specific locations and subject to such
technical and operational conditions (e.g., power, emission, pulse rate and
phase code, hours of operation), including on-the-air testing, as may be
required on a case-by-case basis to ensure protection of the LORAN
radionavigation system from harmful interference and to ensure mutual
compatibility among radiolocation operators. Such authorizations to stations
in the radiolocation service are further subject to showing of need for
service which is not currently provided and which the Federal Government is
not yet prepared to render by way of the radionavigation service.
US105 In the band 3550-3650 MHz, non-Federal stations in the radiolocation
service that were licensed or applied for prior to July 23, 2015 may
continue to operate on a secondary basis until the end of the equipment's
useful lifetime.

earth stations in the fixed-satellite service (space-to-Earth):
(a) Earth stations authorized prior to, or granted as a result of an
application filed prior to, July 23, 2015 and constructed within 12 months
of initial authorization may continue to operate on a primary basis.
Applications for modifications to such earth station facilities filed after
July 23, 2015 shall not be accepted, except for changes in polarization,
antenna orientation, or ownership; and increases in antenna size for
interference mitigation purposes.
(b) The assignment of frequencies to new earth stations after July 23, 2015
shall be authorized on a secondary basis.
US108 In the bands 3300-3500 MHz and 10-10.5 GHz, survey operations, using
transmitters with a peak power not to exceed five watts into the antenna,
may be authorized for Federal and non-Federal use on a secondary basis to
other Federal radiolocation operations.
US109 The band 3650-3700 MHz is also allocated to the Federal
radiolocation service on a primary basis at the following sites: St.
Inigoes, MD (38°10′ N, 76°23′ W); Pascagoula, MS (30°22′ N, 88 29′ W); and
Pensacola, FL (30°21′28″ N, 87°16′26″ W). The FCC shall coordinate all
non-Federal operations authorized under 47 CFR part 90 within 80 km of these
sites with NTIA on a case-by-case basis. For stations in the Citizens
Broadband Radio Service these sites shall be protected consistent with the
procedures set forth in 47 CFR 96.15(b) and 96.67.
US110 In the band 9200-9300 MHz, the use of the radiolocation service by
non-Federal licensees may be authorized on the condition that harmful
interference is not caused to the maritime radionavigation service or to the
Federal radiolocation service.

G120 Development of airborne primary radars in the band 2360-2390 MHz with
peak transmitter power in excess of 250 watts for use in the United States
is not permitted.
G122 In the bands 2300-2310 MHz, 2395-2400 MHz, 2400-2417 MHz, and
4940-4990 MHz, Federal operations may be authorized on a non-interference
basis to authorized non-Federal operations, and shall not constrain the
implementation of any non-Federal operations.
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/m2/100 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 prohibited.
Geostationary satellites in the space research service operating in the band
7190-7235 MHz shall not claim protection from existing and future stations
in the fixed service and ITU Radio Regulation No. 5.43A does not apply.
G134 In the band 7190-7235 MHz, Federal earth stations operating in the
meteorological-satellite service (Earth-to-space) may be authorized subject
to the following conditions:
(a) Earth stations are limited to those communicating with the Department of
Commerce Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES).
(b) There shall not be more than five earth stations authorized at one time.
(c) The GOES satellite receiver shall not claim protection from existing and
future stations in the fixed service (ITU Radio Regulation No. 5.43A does
not apply).
