The specific rule provisions we propose to amend are: (1) 47 C.F.R. § 87.131 (Power and emissions); (2) 47 C.F.R. § 87.133 (Frequency stability); (3) 47 C.F.R. § 87.137 (Types of emission); (4) 47 C.F.R. § 87.139 (Emission limitations); (5) 47 C.F.R. § 87.173 (Frequencies) [General List]; (6) 47 C.F.R. § 87.187 (Frequencies) [Aircraft Stations]; and (7) 47 C.F.R. § 87.263 (Frequencies) [Aeronautical Enroute and Aeronautical Fixed Stations]. We believe that these changes would serve to promote the transition from analog voice communications to digital voice and data transmissions.

  • the listed frequencies are based on 25 kHz channel spacing with no provision for operating on 8.33 kHz-spaced channels as envisioned by the ICAO channel plan. Consequently, certification of dual channel spacing transceivers (i.e., radios that can operate using 8.33 kHz-spaced channels as well as 25 kHz-spaced channels) currently may not be obtained absent grant of a waiver of Section 87.173(b) of the Commission's Rules. We recognize that U.S. air carriers operate internationally and their aircraft operate in countries that employ 8.33 kHz spacing. We also recognize that aircraft must have the capability of communicating reliably with ground stations as directed, and on the frequencies specified, by air traffic controllers. It is clear that this capability could be impaired if U.S.-registered

As a consequence of this action, we also will delete the sub-band 31.8-32.3 GHz from the list of frequencies that are available for use by the aeronautical radionavigation service under Section 87.173 of the rules for the Aviation Services. Since the sub-band 32.3-33.4 GHz has previously been added to the Section 87.173, we are adding a rule part cross-reference to Part 87 in the Table of Frequency Allocations. procedural information Final Regulatory Flexibility Certification.

  • we also propose to delete footnote US341 from the Table of Frequency Allocations because the Federal Aviation Administration has decommissioned its remaining radar facility at the Newark, New Jersey International Airport and thus, concluded its operations in the 24.25-24.45 GHz band. In light of the foregoing, we propose to amend the frequency table in the aviation service rules, specifically Section 87.173(b), by changing the entry for 24.25-25.45 GHz to 24.45-25.05 GHz, which would remain available for use by the aeronautical radionavigation service. 2.

The specific rule provisions we propose to amend are: (1) 47 C.F.R. § 87.131 (Power and emissions); (2) 47 C.F.R. § 87.133 (Frequency stability); (3) 47 C.F.R. § 87.137 (Types of emission); (4) 47 C.F.R. § 87.139 (Emission limitations); (5) 47 C.F.R. § 87.173 (Frequencies) [General List]; (6) 47 C.F.R. § 87.187 (Frequencies) [Aircraft Stations]; and (7) 47 C.F.R. § 87.263 (Frequencies) [Aeronautical Enroute and Aeronautical Fixed Stations]. We believe that these changes would serve to promote the transition from analog voice communications to digital voice and data transmissions.

We note that footnote US341, addressing the Newark radar facility, has already been removed from the Table of Allocations pursuant to a proceeding by the Office of Engineering and Technology (OET). Finally, we proposed to amend Section 87.173(b) of our Rules to change the entry for aeronautical radionavigation from 24.25-25.25 GHz to 24.75-25.05 GHz. We received no comments related to these proposals. Therefore, for the reasons underlying our proposals regarding Aeronautical Radionavigation Service operations in 24.25-25.25 GHz and 24.75-25.05 GHz, we adopt them as final rules.
