  • controversy or to remove uncertainty. The Commission has wide discretion within this framework to determine whether a declaratory ruling is necessary. In the instant matter, the Petitioners frame their request as a need for rule clarification. First, the Petitioners seek clarification that broadcast and public safety licensees have co-equal status in the 2.4 GHz band. Sections 90.20(d)(73), 90.35(c)(74), 90.103(c)(9), and 74.602(a)(1) of the Rules specifically state that the 2.4 GHz band is shared with other communications services. Unless otherwise specified, sharing entails using frequencies on a co-equal basis. Therefore, we believe that further clarification of the Rules to indicate co-equal status between broadcast and public safety licensees is unnecessary. Similarly, we deny the Petitioners' request for clarification that public safety users

Skybridge relies on the lack of any limitation on FSS operations in Section 74.602 of the Rules or domestic footnote NG53 to the Table of Frequency Allocations, and the nine or more GSO FSS authorizations recognized in the First R&O, in opposing SBE's assertion that as a matter of law BAS/CARS pickup operations enjoy an exclusive right against FSS operations in the 13.15-13.2125 GHz band.
