  • under Part 90 of our Rules. As with the 800 MHz National Public Safety Planning Advisory Council (NPSPAC) mutual aid channels, base and control stations must be licensed individually. We seek comment on these proposals, including the NCC's recommendation for licensing subscriber equipment, as well as the issue of whether the NCC's suggestions would require amendments to Sections 90.179 and 90.421 of our Rules. RPC Oversight of Interoperability Infrastructure. The NCC recommends that (1) the oversight of the technical parameters of the interoperability infrastructure should rest with the RPCs; (2) the RPCs should urge the states to jointly develop interoperability operational plans-and failing that-to develop such plans independently; and (3) the RPCs should request the states to hold the licenses for

We note, however, that 47 C.F.R. § 90.421(a) permits mobile units licensed in the Public Safety Pool to be installed in any vehicle which in an emergency would require cooperation and coordination with the licensee, and in any vehicle used in the performance, under contract, of official activities of the licensee.
