§ 73.202   Table of Allotments.

   Link to an amendment published at  78 FR 25591 , May 2, 2013.

   (a) General. The following Table of Allotments contains the channels (other
   than noncommercial educational Channels 201-220) designated for use in
   communities in the United States, its territories, and possessions, and not
   currently  assigned to a licensee or permittee or subject to a pending
   application for construction permit or license. All listed channels are for
   Class B stations in Zones I and I-A and for Class C stations in Zone II
   unless  otherwise specifically designated. Channels to which licensed,
   permitted, and “reserved” facilities have been assigned are reflected in the
   Media Bureau's publicly available Consolidated Data Base System.

   (1) Channels designated with an asterisk may be used only by noncommercial
   educational  broadcast  stations. The rules governing the use of those
   channels are contained in part 73, subpart C of this chapter. An entity that
   would be eligible to operate a noncommercial educational broadcast station
   can, in conjunction with an initial petition for rulemaking filed pursuant
   to part 1, subpart C of this chapter, request that a nonreserved FM channel
   (channels 221 through 300) be allotted as reserved only for noncommercial
   educational broadcasting by demonstrating the following:

   (i) No reserved channel can be used without causing prohibited interference
   to TV channel 6 stations or foreign broadcast stations; or

   (ii) The applicant is technically precluded from using the reserved band by
   existing stations or previously filed applications and the proposed station
   would provide a first or second noncommercial educational radio service to
   2,000  or  more people who constitute 10% of the population within the
   proposed allocation's 60 dBu (1 mV/m) service contour.

   (2) Each channel listed in the Table of Allotments reflects the class of
   station  that is authorized to use it based on the minimum and maximum
   facility requirements for each class contained in § 73.211.

   Note: The provisions of this paragraph [(a)(2) of this section] become
   effective [3 years from the effective date of the Report and Order in BC
   Docket 80-90].
