Woodbridge states that ``TV Channel 20 is available for allocation in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, which encompasses a radius of fifty miles from the City of Philadelphia.''

Therefore, the TV Channel 18 band is allocated for neither PLMRS use nor the subset of public safety use at Franklin's location. Accordingly, Franklin requests a waiver of Sections 2.106(NG66), 90.303, 90.305(a), and 90.307(d) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 2.106(NG66), 90.303, 90.305(a), and 90.307(d). Franklin states that it ``is planning to upgrade its radio system, with a modern, multi-site, simulcast system.'' In addition, the County states that ``its existing system consists of a mix of low band VHF, high band VHF, and UHF radio equipment.'' The County asserts that ``[t]he

Lancaster notes that ``channel 15 is already allocated for land mobile use in the New York City area,'' and it seeks a waiver of Section 90.305(a). This rule provides that base station transmitter sites must be located within eighty kilometers (fifty miles) from the geographic center of an urbanized area listed in Section 90.303.

Specifically, York filed the waiver request and eleven applications to use frequencies allocated to TV channel 19 spectrum, 500-506 MHz, to support the communications requirements of its public safety agencies. York requests a waiver of Sections 2.106, 90.303, 90.305(a), and 90.311 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 2.106, 90.303, 90.305(a), 90.311. York asserts that the purpose of the new system is to upgrade its existing antiquated radio systems operating in the 30-50 MHz, 150-174 MHz, and 450-470 MHz bands in order to provide reliable communications throughout the county and interoperability between all public safety and local government agencies.

To minimize interference potential between land mobile and television operations in the 470-512 MHz band, Section 90.305 of the Commission's Rules provides that land mobile operations must operate subject to certain distance requirements. However, to promote more extensive land mobile use of this band in congested spectrum environments, the Commission has, in certain instances, waived Section 90.305's distance requirement, provided that such land mobile operations limit their service area within certain parameters to avoid harmful interference to

One such specification is the ``50-mile'' rule.
