Thus, these rules would have allowed North Sight to make the modification it seeks without prior Commission approval. In granting relief to North Sight, we will require North Sight to operate within the originally licensed interference contour pursuant to Section 90.693(b)-(c) of the Commission's rules. In its modification application, North Sight initially sought to operate at 1000 watts effective radiated power (ERP), which would have altered the original contour.

Preferred argues that the Branch's dismissal of its notifications was improper because frequency coordination is not required for the notification of minor modifications to 800 MHz licenses, including modifications to former General Category licenses, in accordance with section 90.693 of the Commission's rules. Preferred further argues that the Commission eliminated the coordination requirement for 800 MHz former General Category licensees in its ULS Order. Finally, Preferred argues that the Branch's action violates the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 because the required frequency coordination is a revised collection requirement. 4.

Because the relocations would result in a de minimus extension of Patterson's interference contour, Nextel also requested a waiver of Section 90.693 of the Commission's rules, which prohibits expansion of an incumbent's interference contour.

Section 90.693 of the Commission's rules provides that the ``originally licensed contour'' for incumbent licensees that operate on the 806-821/851-866 MHz band ``shall be calculated using the maximum ERP and the actual height of the antenna above average [HAAT] terrain along each radial.''

We reject Kurian's argument that PCIA's coordination and the Branch's grant of the fixed site on a primary basis are permitted under section 90.693 of the Commission's rules. Kurian claims that section 90.693 ``does not restrict an incumbent from converting to co-primary operation,'' and that he ``was simply authorized to make more effective use of the frequencies.''

The Branch found that the station had been placed into operation in October 1996, but that in November 1997, the licensee had deconstructed the site and moved it to a site approximately five miles away, where the licensee resumed operations. The relocation was permitted by Section 90.693 of the Commission's rules, which allows incumbent SMR licensees to move their facilities provided the relocation does not expand the station's interference contour. Therefore, the Branch also upheld the grant of American Beeper's modification application reflecting the relocation of the station to the new location.

On April 8, 1998, the Branch dismissed both applications for failure to comply with the frequency coordination requirements set forth in Section 90.175 of the Commission's Rules. Discussion. Yellow Cab argues that the applications did not require frequency coordination and were correctly filed pursuant to Section 90.693 of the Commission's Rules. Section 90.693(b) provides, in pertinent part, that incumbent 800 MHz licensees who obtained licenses or filed applications on or before December 15, 1995, may add or modify transmitter sites within their original 22 dBu contour without prior notification to the Commission, provided that (i) the original 22 dBu contour is not expanded and the station complies

  • Sight did not support its claim that station KNRT377 was not constructed or operating. The Branch found that the station had been placed into operation in October 1996, but that in November 1997, the licensee had deconstructed the site and moved it to a site approximately five miles away, where the licensee resumed operations. The relocation was permitted by Section 90.693 of the Commission's rules, which allows incumbent SMR licensees to move their facilities provided the relocation does not expand the station's interference contour. Therefore, the Branch also upheld the grant of American Beeper's modification application reflecting the relocation of the station to the new location. However, because American Beeper had failed to notify the Commission of the site relocation within
