  • Issues Federal Use of the Interoperability Spectrum. The NCC recommends sufficient flexibility in our Rules to allow state and local authorities to enter contractual agreements with Federal authorities. In these agreements, Federal users would have equal rights to the spectrum, and no user would have priority over another user unless otherwise specified in the contract. As the NCC observes, Section 2.103(b) of our Rules already offers flexibility in this regard. In the Second MO&O, we concluded that there is no impediment to federal use of the 700 MHz band through the use of sharing agreements. Thus, we tentatively conclude that an additional rule is not necessary to facilitate Federal sharing of the interoperability spectrum. We seek comment on our tentative conclusion.

In the Fourth Notice, we noted the NCC's recommendation that our Rules should be sufficiently flexible to allow state and local authorities to enter into contractual agreements with Federal authorities. In this connection, the NCC correctly observed that Section 2.103(b) of our Rules already offers flexibility in this regard. Specifically, Section 2.103(b) permits Government entities to use channels in the public safety 700 MHz band with non-government entities if the Commission finds such use necessary where: (a) The stations are used for interoperability or part of a Government/non-Government shared or joint-use system; (b) The Government entity obtains the approval of

Indeed, according to BellSouth, out of 4700 loops ordered in August 2002, only 16 were SL-2.103 As a result, BellSouth claims, the $160 figure that AT&T challenges here is "an uncommon occurrence" because it reflects both an SL-2, not an SL-1, loop, and it is time- specific, not non-time-specific.104 36.

  • Issues Federal Use of the Interoperability Spectrum. The NCC recommends sufficient flexibility in our Rules to allow state and local authorities to enter contractual agreements with Federal authorities. In these agreements, Federal users would have equal rights to the spectrum, and no user would have priority over another user unless otherwise specified in the contract. As the NCC observes, Section 2.103(b) of our Rules already offers flexibility in this regard. In the Second MO&O, we concluded that there is no impediment to federal use of the 700 MHz band through the use of sharing agreements. Thus, we tentatively conclude that an additional rule is not necessary to facilitate Federal sharing of the interoperability spectrum. We seek comment on our tentative conclusion.
