  • Section 1.925 of the Commission's rules. Specifically, Beaverhead and Granite seek to use Part 80 private coast station frequencies and Silverbow seeks to use Part 80 maritime VHF frequencies as a part of a wireless communications system that is vital to the public safety governmental operations of the applicants. Accordingly, the Counties filed requests for waiver of Sections 80.105, 80.106, 80.123, 80.203, 80.213, 80.371, and 80.373, and such other sections of Part 80, as may be necessary. Beaverhead's application seeks to modify its license for Station KLV872 by adding one frequency designated for ship and private coast station use under Part 80 at two locations. Similarly, Granite's application seeks to modify its license for Station KOF476 by adding three frequencies designated

Pursuant to Section 337(c) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), Granite seeks waiver of Sections 80.105, 80.106, 80.123, 80.203, 80.213, 80.371, and 80.373, and such other sections of Part 80 of the Commission's rules as may be necessary, to use frequencies that are designated for maritime use under Part 80. In the alternative, Granite requests a waiver under Section 1.925 of the Commission's rules to use the three maritime frequencies. By this Order, we deny Granite's request for

Those portions of the applications that pertain to the County's request for non-maritime public safety frequencies are routine and can be granted without further analysis. However, Silverbow seeks, for each application, waiver of Sections 80.105, 80.106, 80.123, 80.203, 80.213, 80.371, and 80.373, and such other sections of Part 80 of the Commission's rules, as may be necessary, to use frequencies that are designated for maritime use under Part 80 for its public safety PLMR communications system under Part 90.

DISCUSSION Private mobile radio service for units on land. Under the current rules, VPC and AMTS stations may provide either commercial service or private correspondence service to maritime units, but may provide only commercial service to units on land. Section 80.123 of the Commission's Rules, which permits VPC and AMTS licensees to serve fixed and mobile units on land on a subsidiary basis, specifically authorizes only ``public correspondence service to stations on land.'' In addition, Section 80.475(c) of the Commission's Rules, which allows AMTS licensees to provide private mobile communications, by its terms limits the permissible communications to ``the operational requirements

Under the current rules, VPC and AMTS stations may provide either commercial service or private correspondence service to maritime units, but may provide only commercial service to units on land. Section 80.123 of the Commission's Rules, which permits VPC and AMTS licensees to serve fixed and mobile units on land on a subsidiary basis, specifically authorizes only ``public correspondence service to stations on land.''

The Commission reaffirmed its commitment to ensure that VPC and AMTS services primarily benefit the maritime community, and explained that eliminating such a requirement would create a risk of a de facto reallocation of this spectrum from maritime to land mobile use. The Commission also denied Havens's request that it clarify that Section 80.123(d) of the Commission's Rules permits VPC and AMTS licensees that provide service to units on land to use base station equipment approved under Part 22 or Part 90.
