Arlington seeks a waiver of Section 1.924(e)(3) of the Commission's Rules in order to operate new 18 GHz microwave paths within the Washington, DC exclusion zone. For the reasons discussed below, we grant the waiver request. background Arlington is in the process of upgrading its county-wide 800 MHz Private Land Mobile Radio system. The existing four-site 800 MHz system is connected via 18 GHz digital microwave and

MariTEL, a public coast service station provider, asserts that it is a telecommunications carrier because it provides telecommunications for a fee directly to the general public. Consequently, MariTEL requests that we reconsider and revise our Rules to include Part 80 licensees whom qualify as telecommunications carriers. Discussion. Pursuant to Section 1.924(a)(2) of our Rules, licenses in the Maritime (ship) Radio Services may not be assigned. When a ship is sold, the new owner must apply for a new license. When the new license is issued, the former license must be surrendered for cancellation. For the foregoing reasons, Maritime (ship) Radio Services licenses are not subject to Section 310(d) of the Communications

In addition, other technical standards contained in other sections of the Commission's rules would apply to 4.9 GHz licensees. These standards would include, among others, Part 17 (antenna registration), Section 1.924 (quiet zones), and 1.1307 (environmental requirements). We tentatively conclude that all of these technical rules and the technical rules discussed below would apply to all 4.9 GHz licensees, regardless of the actual service provided or technology used, including those licensees who acquire licenses through partitioning of service areas or disaggregation of spectrum. We seek comment on these proposals. 1. In-Band

  • accordance with the finding in the 2000 Biennial Review Report, wherein the Commission accepted the staff recommendation to ``review the application procedures for Quiet Zones to determine whether they can be made more efficient.'' In this proceeding, we request commenters to provide us with specific proposals for revising and streamlining the current requirements for applications affecting Quiet Zones. BACKGROUND Section 1.924 of our rules sets forth procedures regarding coordination of Wireless Telecommunications Services applications and operations within areas known as ``Quiet Zones.'' The rule defines Quiet Zones as ``those areas where it is necessary to restrict radiation so as to minimize possible impact on the operations of radio astronomy or other facilities that are highly sensitive to interference.'' The specific facilities

The licensee will need to apply for an individual station license to the Commission for those individual stations that (1) require submission of an Environmental Assessment under Section 1.1307 of our Rules; (2) require international coordination; (3) would operate in the quiet zones listed in Section 1.924 of our Rules; or (4) require coordination with the Frequency Assignment Subcommittee (FAS) of the Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC). We propose that the licensee be responsible for determining whether an individual station needs an individual station license. We further propose that this requirement will apply to both new stations and station modifications. We ask for comment on this proposal.

Quiet Zone Protection The Commission tentatively concluded in the Further Notice to require MVDDS operators to comply with the radio quiet zone criteria set forth in Section 1.924 of our rules. As such, the Commission proposed that stations authorized by competitive bidding must receive approvals from the relevant quiet zone before commencing operations. The requirement to comply with radio quiet zone clearances is a long-standing practice at the Commission and the incumbent POFS operators were also required to meet this standard.

BACKGROUND The Quiet Zone, which encompasses an area of approximately 13,000 square miles, was created to minimize possible harmful interference to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), located at Green Bank, West Virginia, and the Naval Radio Research Observatory (NRRO), located at Sugar Grove, West Virginia. Section 1.924(a) of the Commission's rules requires that the NRAO be notified of any proposed construction and operation of a new or modified station at a permanent fixed location within the Quiet Zone. If the NRAO objects to the proposed facility, on behalf of itself or the NRRO, the Commission, pursuant to section 1.924(a)(3) of its rules ``will, after consideration of the

In this regard, we note that a licensee may be required to comply with separate filing or authorization requirements in modifying a station where: (1) there is a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) concern pursuant to Section 1.1301 through 1.1319; (2) areas where radio frequency quiet zones are in place under Section 1.924; (3) antenna structure requirements under Part 17 requires licensees to register with the Commission prior to construction; (4) any restrictions regarding border areas under international agreement; and (5) any applicable technical rules in Part 101. Open Eligibility Background. In the NPRM, we reiterated that our primary goal in this proceeding was to encourage efficient competition, particularly in the local exchange

  • or the corresponding FCC rules that regulate these services. There are also additional interference requirements that may not be contained in the section of 47 CFR that contain a given service's technical rules. In 47 CFR Parts 1 and 2 certain requirements and procedures are specified that pertain to a number of services in various rule parts. For example, Section 1.924 of the rules contains procedures and associated field strength limits licensees should be aware of to protect radio astronomy sites, FCC field offices and sensitive Government facilities. Licensees may not be aware of such requirements because the governing rules are not directly included in their services' rule parts. In addition, Section 1.923 states that some channel assignments and/or usage may
