Subsequently, Ohio supplemented its requests with a request for waiver of Sections 90.615, 90.617(d) and 90.681 of the Commission's Rules pursuant to Section 337 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Act). For the reasons discussed below, we conclude that Ohio has not made the required showing under Section 337(c) of the Act, but has sufficiently demonstrated that grant of a waiver is warranted under Section 1.925 of the Commission's Rules. Accordingly,

  • Order and Order on Reconsideration in WT Docket No. 02-55. The 800 MHz Supplemental Order noted, among other things, that in the former 800 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR) Pool there was no frequency coordination requirement and hence no recognized frequency coordinators. Because coordination will be required for certain stations operating on frequencies in the new SMR Pool (See Section 90.617(d) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. � 90.617(d)), the Commission stated that it must certify frequency coordinators to coordinate spectrum in the new SMR Pool. The Commission concluded that the current 800 MHz General Category coordinators are qualified to coordinate spectrum use in this pool.
