On August 10, 2006, Syosset withdrew the second application, FCC File No. 0002509311, because its proposed power level increases at the Merry Lane, Jericho, New York, and Split Rock, Syosset, New York, stations are now rendered moot by FCC File No. 0002490437, as amended, which requests a deletion of these base stations. See 47 C.F.R. §22.621. Syosset currently is authorized to operate at the 1 Fairchild Avenue site under Call Sign WQEL413, Plainview, New York, pursuant to special temporary authority.

Cinnaminson is currently licensed to operate Station WIL992 with four frequency pairs in the UHF Band. Pursuant to Section 337(c) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), and Section 1.925 of the Commission's rules, Cinnaminson seeks a waiver of Sections 22.7, 22.501, 22.621, 22.651, and 90.311 of the Commission's rules to enable it to use frequencies not designated for public safety use. For the reasons stated below, we deny Cinnaminson's Waiver Request and dismiss the application without prejudice. background Cinnaminson states that, following September 11, 2001, it undertook several initiatives to strengthen its emergency preparedness and ability to respond to potential natural disasters

  • to Boston, because no other spectrum is immediately available to integrate existing VHF, UHF, and 800 MHz operations region-wide, increase the communications capacity of various participating agencies, and broaden the number of agencies able to participate in interoperable communications. Because the Commission has not designated Part 22 frequencies for public safety use, Boston requests a waiver of Sections 22.7, 22.501, 22.621, 22.651, and 90.311 of the Commission's rules pursuant to Section 337(c) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Act) or, in the alternative, rule Section 1.925.

Westchester notes that the requested channel pairs are offset by 12.5 kHz from the channels identified in Part 22 and claims that Commission grant of the requested offset channels would be consistent with precedent. Although Westchester seeks a waiver of Sections 22.7, 22.501, 22.621, 22.651, 90.303, and 90.311 of the Commission's rules, we have determined that at a minimum, Westchester requires a waiver of Sections 22.621 and 22.651, as well as Section 20.9(a)(6) of the Commission's rules.

The County requests waiver of Sections 20.9(a)(6) and 22.621 of the Commission's rules to use this frequency. The County also requests waiver of Sections 90.307 and 90.309 of the Commission's rules to locate transmitters short-spaced to television stations.

The updated record reflects that Summit's overall goals are to upgrade and consolidate its public safety communications resources and achieve interoperability with New Jersey's statewide system. We find that these goals would clearly serve the public interest. The Commission previously determined that Summit requires four channel pairs comprised of frequencies reserved under Sections 22.621 and 22.651 ``in order to promote effective public safety communications.'' Specifically, the Commission previously noted Summit's contention that allowing it to use frequencies reserved under Sections 22.621 and 22.651 would ``cure deficiencies in the existing public safety radio systems and provide interoperability among Summit's fire, police, EMS, and other departments,'' and would ``assist the State of New Jersey's initiative to

Section 22.415 provides that channels in the 928-931 and 952-960 MHz ranges may be assigned to fixed transmitters in point-to-multipoint systems at short-spaced locations (i.e., those that do not meet the 70-mile separation requirement of section 22.625(a)). Section 22.625(a) governs where transmitters may be located on the channels listed in section 22.621. In the Multiple Address Systems Order, the Commission amended section 22.621 to prohibit the issuance of new licenses for any 900 MHz frequencies listed in that section. The Commission therefore cannot issue any developmental authorizations under section 22.415 for these channels unless it waives the licensing prohibition of section 22.621. We therefore tentatively conclude that section 22.415 should be eliminated.

Marin County asserts that the requested frequencies will be used to alleviate frequency congestion in the greater San Francisco area, to provide for interoperability with other public safety radio systems, and to support an existing integrated ``Public Safety Law Enforcement and Fire Service'' communications system in the 470-512 MHz band.

Because Part 20 provides that these frequencies shall be regulated as a commercial mobile radio service, these frequencies are not allocated for public safety operations. Accordingly, Cinnaminson requests a waiver of Sections 20.9(a)(6) and 22.621. Cinnaminson states that it seeks to use the requested frequencies because public safety spectrum is not immediately available in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Cinnaminson asserts that use of the unassigned Part 22 point-to-multipoint paging control frequencies, 506/509.0125 MHz, is necessary to enable it to leverage municipal resources, including government and public safety agencies, ``in all facets of response, coordination, mitigation
